re: Ticket brokers are playing games acting like LSU’s first game is for National Championship

There weren't any tickets for sale outside the gate for either title game last year according to my Ole Miss friends who went. Now that was Ole Miss' first time to play in it, but I would think LSU would bring a ton like Ole Miss did.
Again I can only use 2017 as an example, but the issue is the vast vast majority of tickets are digital now. So there’s no way physically for unused tickets to end up in scalpers hands…
Local “season ticket” holders have a lot of these tickets, so my best strategy was setting up at a tailgate and just holding up fingers and chatting with fans saying I needed two tickets and eventually found someone who had some they weren’t using and I paid via PayPal and then digital sent me the tickets. It really just required some luck and talking to people…ended up in the club level for LSU/Florida State for barely above face value
It really sucks if they changed the General Admission tickets/process though, especially for groups like students and families
ETA: damn it looks like the killed GA for “covid” and then kept it all reserved
everything great about Omaha is slowly dying

More challenging to do that these days with 35 dollar ticket fees nearly both ways. So needs to be 70 dollars higher to make a dollar doing a resell
That’s simply another component of the price. It doesn’t change the fundamental dynamics at play, only the mechanisms and timing. Ultimately you are misdiagnosing the core problem. It’s not that the brokers are “forcing” people to pay an unreasonable price. It’s that too many people are willing to pay a price you find unreasonable.

Just go and get a ticket when you get there.
Always works.

does everyone saying this realize all tickets are digital this year?

They don’t, most are giving advice from 1999 telling people to buy their tickets at a grocery store.

I love these threads 
A bunch of wannabe economic majors trying to teach rest of the board about supply and demand.
It’s real simple folks, if you have more people wanting something(x) than you have (x) to give than you can charge whatever the frick you want to bc the demand outweighs the supply.

Yup the markets these days are the reseller apps, the ticket exchange here, or as someone mentioned before, talking with people and maybe finding someone with an extra.
I do think prices drop. It's a 24,000 person stadium. It's gonna be 95% LSU and UT fans. For the game in BR earlier this year, prices were high in the weeks leading up to the game. They absolutely plummeted the days before the games.
Obviously it's quite a different situation. UT had struggled in a few series leading up to the BR series, it was a huge game but not the magnitude of a CWS.
On the other hand, it was a lot cheaper and easier for most UT fans to travel to BR than Omaha. If you booked travel from Knox this morning, you're either driving or flying for $1k. Not to mention hotels being more than $300/night. Those are OT baller prices. And plenty of LSU fans were very excited for that first game at the box, we wanted revenge.
Tickets were ~$100 before the vols won last night and I think this jump in prices is mostly panic buying. I'm sure as hell not buying at this price right now(but I'd pay it if I needed to, sunk cost fallacy and all). I think they'll start dropping Friday when everyone who'd go to the game are in Omaha, and I expect a decent sized drop. This is just my thought process, though.
Edit: If anyone suggests GA tickets, just say okay boomer

What are your thoughts on the best time/window to pull the trigger on the championship series tickets?

Regular season and postseason are two completely different animals for college baseball. This isn’t like football where it’s 1 game and hordes of people follow teams.

It's all up to what you want to pay. I would already start thinking about how much you want to pay for a certain section. Watch Ticketmaster and Stubhub closely and jump when you feel comfortable.
I think tickets will be cheapest Friday night once everyone has made up their mind if they're coming or not though. There is still a hell of a lot of tickets for sale, and I think the amount of UT/LSU fans who decide to come last minute will be small. You're looking at around $1.5-$2k to be there just for the weekend. I know Vols who are pretty well off and big baseball fans who think it's too much.

I've already got the plane tickets and hotel bought from Friday 23rd thru Monday the 26th, both fully refundable.
I'm just wondering if I'll be paying more now for championship tickets than I would on the 22nd once the teams are finalized.
I also do not want to miss out on getting tickets on the 22nd if they will all be sold out.
And yes, $2k is the number for Friday 23rd thru Monday 26th.

My b I misread what you said. I probably wouldn't hesitate to buy championship tickets at their current prices. You may lose $100/ticket but if LSU is in I'd guess they get more expensive. They were around $200 on stubhub in 2017. I was gifted 3 tickets down the RF line by someone, but only 2 of us were going so I scalped off the third to a scalper for $100 which he resold for a good bit more.

I just bought 3 tickets together and it was tough. Mostly 2 and 4 tickets. Paid $800 including the ticket sellers premium and $50 dollar insurance in case I cant make the game for some unknown reason!

Here is the incoherent quote that was made:
You were saying ALL rounds and you were acting as if the secondary ticket exchanges price like airlines, which is 100% false.

On Seatgeek, in a Private window on Brave, there are tickets for ALL rounds of games between ELEVEN dollars and $140.

price of something can be manipulated
how many of you bastids were around for the fabulous "ticket reserve" price manipulation during the 2007-2008 season? We, as a fan base already had absurd futures pricing, and at the time it appeared Oregon would be our foe in the NC game. Their fan base was unaware of the ticket reserve market. We all went out and bought up Oregon reserves at $20 bucks per. THEN, we sent some rantards over to the Oregon message boards. Clued them into the process, and the prices sky-rocketed. One of the more epic accomplishments in TD history. Those who cashed in on those reserve prices prior to Oregon QB blowing out his knee will be telling their grandkids about that one.

I'd like to get in on this too. Prices are already dropping, and will continue to do so. We won't see prices more than $200 until minutes before gametime when the whole supply is gone
