I really wonder how many tickets will exchange hands at the $322 or above mark?
I'm guessing very, very few.

Looks like instead of ******** about Pollard taking away their ticket access (which theyhave not had anyway in recent years) they better start buying season tickets. $322 makes ISU season tickets look like a bargin!!!  | | |

If the ISU game doesn't mean much to the Hawkeyes how come I don't see any of their other games on here?

Deep within the heart of Iowa, a storm is brewing...
... the winds of change ripple throughout the vast fields of corn surrounding the small college town of Ames.
The Gene Chizik era of football continues, and, with it, a renewed attitude of pride, determination, and success.
This is Cyclone Football. | |

322 bucks? Honestly, it's tempting.

I'm surprised that Notre Dame vs. SC isn't the highest. Also surprised that Penn State vs. Notre Dame is the highest. Who gives a crap about that game? I doubt its even the most important game to the respective fan bases.

I doubt its even the most important game to the respective fan bases. There are some reasons behind the rankings. One is that USC doesn't travel as well as one might think - too many other options and loyalties for sports fans in SoCal. Another is the huge ND fan base on the east coast who are willing to make the trip to State College.
Another reason ND season ticket holders travel so well is that all season tickets for home ND games are split because of the overwhelming demand. Since they only have access to half of the home games, they satisfy their fix for football by becoming road warriors. I'm not sure if a ND fan can own tickets for both half seasons, but I know a huge booster and alum who made it sound like he didn't have that option.

Steve, your probably right about the SC fans not wanting to travel. I wonder if that game would be number 1 if it was played in LA this year.

Add to that the fact that it's not a natural rivalry, just two of the more storied programs in the nation, and ND hasn't been to PSU in a LONG time, so it's one of those "chances of a generation" type things... Oh, and I have a ticket to the game!!! :) Always good to have friends from the host school!

Is the realistic going price anymore than $150 for the Iowa game?
