[Herky] Supply exceeds demand for Iowa-Rutgers

[Keith Voigts]

Interesting.  Do you think a lot of demand tanked when Iowa dropped out of the top 25?  

 

It looks like the more the fans think Rutgers will get smaked, the more they are willing to pay.

Supply exceeds demand for Iowa-Rutgers


New Jersey wants to see Michigan and Penn State a lot more

Saturday’s Iowa-Rutgers game won’t be what you would call a scalper’s paradise.

Online ticket marketplace StubHub lists a lot of tickets for the Hawkeyes-Scarlet Knight game at under $20. The cheapest as of 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, were $13.

Compare that to Rutgers’ home games against Michigan on Oct. 8 or Penn State on Nov. 19. StubHub’s cheapest available seats for those two are $93 and $75, respectively.

If it’s any consolation to the Hawkeyes, the cheapest seats for the Nov. 5 Indiana-Rutgers tilt are a paltry $7.

Those numbers wouldn’t compute in Iowa City. The cheapest StubHub prices for the remaining Hawkeyes home games are these:

Oct. 1: Northwestern $60

Oct. 22: Wisconsin $105

Nov. 12: Michigan $164

Nov. 25: Nebraska $69

That Black Friday game with the Cornhuskers has never set off stampedes to Iowa’s ticket office. It’s a good day to watch games at home, but it doesn’t seem like the world is all that thrilled about traveling to go to them.

But $13 for Iowa-Rutgers? There’s work to be done selling Scarlet Knights football.
