Stubhub is a massive ripoff. $60 for seats in the nosebleed section behind the basket. Wtf?? Why is this ticket such a hot commodity? Auburn sucks and it's not like we are the Cleveland Cavaliers or anything...

Why where there are so few single-game tickets available? Did they really sell that many season tickets?

Night before a big football game
First game of the year.
Auburn fans excited about Bruce Pearl in his second season.

I think they are also holding some tickets back hoping to sell the seats as season tickets. If that doesn't happen, more single game tickets could be released.

There's only one way to do that. Not have any seats to sell them because Blazer fans have bought them.

Excellent point. As Blazer fans we need to stop bitching about another program's ability to sell out their place. Id love to see us sell standing room tickets at Bartow.

YES YES YES

They sold out almost every game last year. THESE ARE THE PRICES YOU WILL PAY AT ANY OF THE BIG TIME SCHOOLS. Auburn is obviously not a great team but they have a hot coach and a fairly new arena. Also, they have a massive student section that their students love.

EDIT: Sold out almost every SEC game.

I doubt I'd be paying $60 to sit in the top row of the center baseline section through the ticket office at just about any school. That's incredibly overpriced. I pay less than that to have decent seats at a Charlotte Hornets games. The tickets were selling for $20 (which is very reasonable) and people are now price gouging on stubhub..

Price gouging on stubhub? I've never heard of that happening.

I'm referring to their "standing room only" BEING outside the Barlow...
