FS: MBB Season Tickets - 217

If you are serious, the cost through the university is $199 per set plus a $25 handling fee. To be fair in order to have a shot at receiving a set of tickets, one has to donate $2500 to the cyclone club although that may change in future years. Sorry I do not have what is written on the tickets. Here is the link to the seating map:

I sit in 217, a couple rows below row 15. No Cyclone Club donation required for these $199 tickets, although I donate anyway.

With all due respect to the idea of making some money, anybody paying this price is making a big mistake.
I wasn't serious in wanting to purchase them as that price sounds insane. I was just curious if my thinking was right or not. I'm not in the market for season tickets quite yet.
This is what I was thinking.
I think it is hard to figure what seats are worth today. A few years ago one could get $199 season tickets without making any donation to the university. That changed with about the third year of Fred's tenure. People who purchased before then are now grandfathered in and can renew their seats without making a donation. The demand this year still outstrips the supply. If one were to try to get tickets through the university as a new purchaser, it takes a large donation to the cyclone club to have a season ticket order filled.
So the secondary market may be a better indicator. The secondary market is always what will sellers accept vs how much will buyers offer. In a sellers market such as the current one sellers will ask for more than university cost. The question is how much premium is needed to bring supply and demand into balance. Usually it depends just how bad one wants to see the games in Hilton and whether the person can afford the asking prices. Also how bad the seller wants to sell. The market changes. Will prices decline, or more tickets be offered as we get closer to the season? Will demand drive prices higher? The only thing we know for sure is tickets become worthless after the games have been played.

How else are you going to get season tickets right now? I ask for 3 more every year, I am in gold, I get denied. I assume all seating requests by non donors are denied.

Fair enough. I'd at least want to haggle with the guy, or just take my chances game by game.
They sent me something about adding seats, and the renewal thing only had the option to request more, not to reduce. I didn't bother. As a low-level donor, I wouldn't get them anyway.
I sold all of my seats last year for a lot more and half of them still went to people trying make profit by selling them as single game tickets. I'm not going to sell all my seats at "face" just to watch 75% of them get resold for a profit.
In a nicer world, people who actually want to USE the tickets would be able to buy them from the University, at the listed prices, rather than going through 2-3 layers of profiteers.
Just sayin'

Your seats or your inventory?
Hats off to you for your business, but it's not like you're dumping your personal seats here. You apparently buy a ton just for the selling.
