any advice on buying USC game tix? StubHub wanted a $98 per ticket fee.. on $278 tickets. That just doesn't seem right.. or fair.
OT: Any advice on buying USC away game tix? StubHub wanted a $98 per ticket fee
- Thread starter GoodOl'Rutgers
- Start date
Yes.
1. Wait for them to go on sale through USC. Unfortunately, they do not give a date. We got better deals for Wisconsin game last year and Boston College game 2 or 3 years ago buying direct from the schools. I don't need a lecture about "helping their ticket office." Fact is, we got less expensive seats in better sections.
Right now, don't see an on sale date. We are waiting on tickets for USC and Va Tech. May buy our USC tix on Ticketmaster- see below.
2. Ticketmaster has a selection of seats.
If you want the best seats in the stadium get them on your own. If you want to travel 6 hours by plane and sit in the worst seats possible get them thru Rutgers.
ended up using SeatGeek... similar per ticket fee.. $90.. but the tix were slightly less.
Guessing it is just the way it is. These companies make deals to control the ticket sales.. then follow each other's leads in raising fee prices.
Buying tickets well in advance of an event will guarantee fee punishment.
Last year I was looking at a near event and a search brought a bunch of tickets for around $90.
Clicking on seats would then show $40-50 in "fees."
I'm waiting to buy a $9 wedge at a deli and then having to pay a $3 service charge on top.
Me and Mrs. Shift are thinking of renting a cabin/house in the Topanga Hills for USC. We can look for a place with a free bed for you and a free couch for @RUScrew85 to sleep while we are at the game. 😜
Unfortunately that is true in the Coliseum. Away Team tickets are stuck in the far corner of the stadium well beyond the end zone.
I always tickets on my own, right behind the team bench, after being saddled with nosebleed seats bought through Rutgers at Ohio State and Penn State.
Aww, thanks. We've got the Santa Monica Hilton booked for 3 nights then we take off for a road trip ending with us flying home from Dallas a week later
I remember going to a RU game vs Fresno (pre expansion) with seats in the visitor section right near the portable toilets on a hot day. PU!
wait until closer to game week to buy. you will have plenty of options and far lower prices
He’s not wrong!!! I had Kelly clarkson tickets in Vegas in April 2020…when everything got canceled…it took a little over three months to get a refund.
Never again…
Sit in either sideline seats between the 30's with backs or endzone clubs at VT
Most of Lane = bleachers with no backs
My back is still sore from that experience 3 years ago
TickPick has no fees but limited selection
SeatGeek has decent deflection and decent or sometimes no fees
StubHub has a huge selection and outrageous fees
For a stadium as big as the coliseum, wait until closer to game time
It won't be sold out and they just put in that new club section on the sidelines
Like KS said, single game tix should go on sale sometime in May
They use Pacolian as their ticketing system so you'll get to pick an exact location
If you're inclined to collect ticket stubs, one thing I recommend doing is getting the tickets off the secondary market, and buying a cheapie or 2 through the school's website
Then pick them up at the will call window so you have the physical tickets as a memory of attending

Well it’s the secondary market so yes..gonna be overpriced.
But it’s almost always less than stubhub..and all I use now with I’m buying from secondary market.
Haven't checked RU vs USC, but I have used https://gametime.co/ in the past with success. Their fees seem to be a little less than others and they have an "All-in Pricing" button that will show the total price of the tickets before you get to checkout.
But like others said, you are likely to get better prices the close you get to the game.
