What is the fair market value to see the Bison play?

[56BISON73]

Bisonville -- I think many of you have a better feel for this than I do. I also think many of you have more experience attending other college football games around the country. (I've only been to a handful.) I know that there are many factors that influence the dynamics of secondary ticket pricing, but my question essentially boils down to this:

What is the fair market value to see the Bison play football? In other words, how much are people willing to pay for tickets on the secondary market?

But also -- how does that compare to other FCS teams? Other FBS teams? What are the hottest tickets out there among all regular season college football games?

For example, I was able to get tickets to the Montana game for $100, and my wife thought that was crazy expensive. But I see on Stubhub that the median sold price is right around $200/ticket for that game.

Next example is the UND game where the Stubhub median sold price is over $250. I'm still surprised that this game is commanding such high prices. I guess it is the historical draw of a "renewed rivalry." (Cough, cough)

I don't know where to find a more comprehensive source of sold ticket prices across many games, and it takes awhile to look them up on Stubhub individually, but I poked around for a few other Montana games as well as some P5 games. My limited research didn't show any other teams with multiple games in a year where the median price is over $200 at this point in the season. That just seems crazy to me!

Does anyone here have some perspective that they can share?

Every game is variable. How well are the Bison doing? How good is the opposing team. Demand for the game? Time of the year. Home or away game? Whats YOUR budget. For some they have more disposable income so they are willing to pay more. It all comes down to what anyone person is willing to pay for that game. It wasnt too long ago people were giving away tickets in the parking lots. Now its a different market.

I found your problem, from now on tell her they were 20 bucks. I honestly feel 100 was a good deal and for the memories it will be worth it!

Paid $150 each for 4 tickets for the Iowa State game last year. Seats up on the second deck but around the 40 yard line, surrounded by a bunch of ISU hotheads that got quieter and quieter as the game rolled on. Very enjoyable. Called rude by a lady in front of me and I thanked her for her comment.

All the games I've sold tickets in the lobby there are usually a good amount of people selling tickets. I think I was only able to sell one of mine over face value at that point of the week once. I've even done it on "high" demand games such as SDSU. Finding face value for most Bison games is probably doable. Depending on how many people you have and how keen you are on sitting together. Had a group of 6 people last year wanted all their tickets together, had enough people selling in lobby to get their 6 tickets but sitting together was a priority for them for whatever reason. Was a group of like 17-18 year olds so not like they weren't "big" enough to sit on their own. They did eventually somehow get 6 tickets at the ticket window about 15-20 mins before game time not really sure if ticket office had a late return on tickets or what?

The most I paid was $200/ticket for the gopher game. We were front row right on the spot where the interception/pitch/touchdown happened before half. The gopher fans were arrogant as he!! and couldn't believe the tickets sold so high. It was well worth it.

Bison football is just plain great football. Vikings and gophers get your hopes up and then f--- it away.

Tough negotiating from Kansas City. Wasn't going to drive up there without tickets. No complaints about paying $150, it was worth it.

Nothing wrong with that idea. I am generally in agreement that it doesn't really bother me if I have to pay a lot for tickets. I think the most I paid was for K-State tickets, but it was 1st row 40 yard line NDSU sideline for around $150. Couldn't go wrong.
