At some point the fans are going to say enough is enough and refuse to pay such crazy high prices.

Who the hell is going to pay $240 to see Baylor play UCF? No way they sell that out...you will be able to get tickets on StubHub day of game for $20...or in the parking lot for $10. Baylor already has the tarps...

Everybody seems to be underestimating UCF, both on the football field and in attendance. I remember the first CUSA championship game in Orlando, UCF vs Tulsa. There were over 50,000 people there and the stadium rocked! I walked the UCF campus and it was obvious that there is strong community support for UCF. Orlando is a large city but it has a small town feeling about it in its support of UCF. UCF is "their" school. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if UCF brought a whole bunch of fans.

Yeah, something doesn't seem quite right. These are the prices before we see a deluge of secondary tickets hit the markets after the time that schools have to sell their allotments expire. So, all of these prices are being disproportionately impacted by the relatively small number of top end tickets that were sold prior to the matchups being announced. The only ones that will end up maintaining something close to their positions here at the top end are the Rose and Sugar and the Orange will probably rise to #3 in price as he secondary market progresses.

You underestimate our fanbase. We travel well to bowls and NCAA tourney spots.
