sioux rube Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 My daughter starts grad school in Greeley at Northern Colorado in 2 weeks. Thinking of driving there when UND plays DU and drive down to Denver for the series. Does that Series sellout? Or can one walk up and get tickets? Quote

Didn't they do that asinine deal last year where people had to buy 2 other home series to get UND/DU tickets? I'd assume you can buy from scalpers at the very least. Quote

UND is a premier D1 hockey program and it is not out of line to charge this. Go to any other D1 school that has a premier sports program and you will see that the prices are about the same. 2 Quote

Ya, getting out of hand? Expand Not only did they charge a bunch but they tried doing the same thing that other schools did in the past, make you purchase 2-3 other games to get the UND game. The problem with the gophers is, they cannot sell out their games. Quote

Back in the WCHA days, someone I knew with student tickets was able to pay for their season by selling a single Gopher game. He wasn't being a shrewd micro-economist either, it's what he was offered.

This will be a couple $100,000 of pure profit for the athletic department. It's one series every couple of years, I don't see anything wrong with it. Quote

Expand If you're suggesting that 100% markup is the norm for premier games, I'd like to see some evidence. Not questioning your rationale (because I totally get it), just thinking you've mixed in a bit of hyperbole. UND pulled a low-class move, that is almost impossible to defend. 1 1 Quote
