For those who have season tickets or ticket plans, what section are you and how much is the price per seat per game?

On the ticket forum, some of these prices are insane. Selling tu tickets for 2-3 grand per ticket. I get that it's a big game and rivalry returning after 13 years. But I could never do that to someone especially a fellow Aggie. If I paid 250 bucks for a ticket, I'm not selling it for 10x the cost I paid. It's a real shame.

The market will set the price…. Most Ags are in business and smart…. Who is respond for setting the price? The sellers or buyers….. buyers have all the power

I have mine listed on ticket exchange less than what I have them listed on seat geek. I don't see any interest.

I'm trying to sell to Ags but not passing on hundreds or thousand of dollars to do it.

This is why just listing on seat geek where anyone can either buy them or not is much simpler.

Anybody telling me what I should do with my season tickets can courteously, piss off….courteously.

What's face? My pretty good seats cost me $1100 per ticket. I'd argue that's $500 for Texas, $300 for ND and probably $250 for LSU based on what I've seen. The remaining $50 is for Missouri (I sold mine for $20 a piece) and the little sisters combined.

Free Market Economy. If people are willing to pay it, then that is the what they are worth.

Just wait until we lose 2 more games, the price will drop drastically

Maybe you can find one of those Aggies who thinks LSU is our true rival to trade an LSU ticket for a horn ticket.

If both teams keep winning 2-3 grand may be a bargain.

You are obviously not reading this thread.

I've eaten tickets once in the past few years. Now, as a Letterman, we have a website where you can list your desires to buy/sell for games. So, my experience is likely different than many here.

But supply & demand keeps the engine going. I sold 2 'bama tickets last year to a guy I played w/for $300/ea. He didn't care, he wanted to take his 8th grade son to experience an Aggie game.

I may end up w/2 extra tu tickets. If we continue to win & they continue to win, my daughter(owns 2 of our 6) may have a discussion.

I've never been more apathetic for an upcoming football season. As a fan, I have zero control over any operations of the teams, and so I'm forced to rely on others to do their job, which for 30 years, these teams have proven to be able to do so, consistently and effectively.

Jerry Jones wants to win the Super Bowl his way. A&M refuses to evolve and move past silly outdated traditions. Nothing changes if nothing changes. The coaches have changed, the players have changed, but there is 1 consistent factor that remains unchanged. Leadership. And these leaders prioritize filling their own pockets over winning at all costs.

Thank you to DirectTV for taking all Espn network channels off the air, and hopefully that remains the rest of the football season, spare me watching this embarrassment.

I can't justify the insane cost of this ticket. Still got kids in college and idiots in Washington making my life unaffordable. Therefore I will be passing on this game. I bought three tickets for Florida, flew myself and the wife to Daytona, picked up my son there and drove to Gainesville, all of that for less than the cost of one tu ticket. That was my choice. And I had a great time!
I've seen us beat that tsip ass before. No biggie

For real. After ND I had 6 different people, SIX offer their tickets for McNeese for free. After we beat Florida I was waiting on those same people for Bowling Green tickets. Nada. Nothing forthcoming. All of a sudden they were interested again

Just say you're ticked off because you can't afford tickets…

Many season ticket holders have spent thousands of dollars over many years so I'll cut them some slack if they sell tickets for the going rate.

I'm going to clue you into a truth about markets. Something's worth, is not based on what people sell it for, it's based off what people are willing to pay. Learn some economics. No offense.

I am quite confident that I will not get ripped off, because no one is making me buy tickets.

I dislike ticket resale other than when you legitimately bought it thinking you were going and then can't and need to recoup your money. However, there is a free market. I mean are real estate investors greedy? Are investors of any kind greedy?

If you don't sell your house to an Ag for what you paid for it you are greedy

Just happy the Ags are playing well enough to create demand for tickets, and hopeful prices double again by Thanksgiving.

I'm late to the party but two things:
1. Selling at what the market is saying they are worth is not "ripping off people".
2. OP, if you are ever able to afford a house and later need to sell it, we expect you to sell it for what you paid for it, not what it is worth when at the time you sell it.

The amount of people on this board that don't understand the principle of economics is a terrible representation of this university.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

So the person holding the ticket is willing to hang on to the ticket for $2,499 but willing to part with the ticket for $2,500. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

If they were willing to sell it for $250, I guarantee you wouldn't be the one to buy it because it would be gone in 0.97 seconds, because everyone knows it is worth significantly more than $250.

The market will settle out at equilibrium like it always does. If a team loses this weekend, the price will slip. If we both win a couple more weeks, the price will strengthen. Just because I like the house you bought 10 years ago doesn't mean I can demand you sell it to me at the original price.

Dallas vs. Detroit?

To each their own, but when I sell baseball or football tickets, I always sell them at ticket value. I've had many people over the years thank me for not ratcheting them up and I go through Venmo instead of selling them through a third-party vendor so there's no extra fees. And I have really good seats for both baseball and football. I'm shocked at what some people will sell for baseball even out in the outfield.

And you couldn't pry my A&M-tu tickets out of my cold, dead hands, but they are going for amazing amounts on the ticket sites. Like $5000 for where I sit. I can't necessarily blame some people.

I'm always surprised someone would pay that amount, that but you never know. About 20 years ago I sold some Nebraska-A&M tickets for a game up there and at that time I had them on eBay because there weren't a lot of good ticket sites and they ended up being up to $2000. Of course that's when Nebraska was really good and they would be sold out every game.

Of course, these are paper, tickets, being mailed, etc.

Thanksgiving is 10/13 now?

I have season tickets. I have 5 tickets in the upper zone section 419. For $25k I'll part with all 5 tickets and throw in some canned oxygen free to help with the altitude acclimation.

When stadium is +25%-30% tu wannabes / tshirt fans coupled w folks not A&M fans who purchased to say they were there, will be plenty complaining as noise level will not be a thing that night. It's pretty crappy what's underway, but we'll see by game time.

Imagine you are a ticket holder. Congratulations! You are going to attend an amazing experience. But what if somebody offered you $500 for the ticket? $1000? $2000? At some number, you will be willing to part with the ticket. These are the prices you see on the reseller market. The seller just needs to find one buyer.

Of course, a true Red Ass would vet the buyer and would burn the tickets before seeing them sold to a teasip.

I haven't read through this entire thread, but I have been able to gather that the original poster needs to come sit through my 12th grade economics class and learn about gains from trade and mutually beneficial transactions.

Hope OP wasn't an ECON major.

1. The tickets going for those type prices are club or lower midfield. Its not $250 when you factor in donations.
2. Most season ticket holders in those type sections are the backbone of our money raising for the program.
3. I'm more critical of fans who all of a sudden want to go to a big game, when many of those "ripping off other ags" go all the time.

Forget the supply and demand argument…if you have been a season ticket holder for a long time (25+ years for me), you've been thru plenty of ups and downs. You're also no longer able to tax deduct the donation. And I've been burned in the early years for "holding" extra tix for big games only to have people bail out when the team isn't doing well.

So I cannot stand it when I read the whiney excuses (like the OP) why it's not fair because some Ag decided to get a journalism degree and have 10 ten kids and can't afford tix.

Everyone has a choice. Period.

BTHO Miss St.

Price just dropped

Shorting tickets as I type this.

It's always someone complaining when they want to go to a high value game, but don't want to pay for season tickets or donate money………..I haven yet to see someone come around offering to pay me $300 for a New Mexico State/bowling green/etc ticket because they hate to see fellow Ags get ripped off by cheapskate buyers that only want to pay $20

College football tickets are not bottled water during a natural disaster. You don't need to go and can watch from home or a tailgate. There are no ethical issues with selling your tickets for whatever someone is willing to pay.
