Basketball Penn State game has sold out!

REMINDER:

Henry's Diner is CLOSED tomorrow because the students are not in session



My son, RU student, just went to ticket office and was told no student tickets. However, I did buy extras several days ago, so he can go

Rutgers was actually selling seats in the student section last week. $20 got you a ticket there for psu and Indiana.
 
Rutgers doesn't control the Vivid or StubHub market even though they might work with them to dump some seats.

remember in the 88-93 era the students used to line up in the Rac at 8AM on the first monday morning to get that months tickets...if you didnt go early you were banished to 300 or worse you couldnt come to the game at all. Students today have to learn that you have to start getting these tix early or you are left out.

best way to teach the concept of Supply and Demand lol. You snooze, you loose :)
 
That doesn't mean the tickets are unsold, those are secondary markets, means people are selling their tickets they purchased already

Was just looking at tickets still available. I'm sure that some (many?) of those on the secondary market would still be used if a buyer isn't found - but there are definitely still tickets available for those who still want them, just not through Rutgers directly.

No, it apparently means that RU has deals with these companies and they get X amount of tix and then it’s up to them to sell them. That’s why we get these phony Rutgers Ticket Office “sellouts” with a bunch of empty seats. Hopefully people are smart enough and demand is high enough that these other tix actually are bought by humans.

There are also speculators when there are ticket deals.

You don't know that, you're just bitching like usual.

most teams do exactly what he’s saying, so he’s probably correct. But whether Rutgers sells the tickets to individual people or to brokers, the tickets are still sold and out of their hands.

weak sauce to unload 1k tix elsewhere and proclaim "SELL OUT BABY!!" all over social media

How many points will “Social Media” score tomorrow? Read that as who gives a sht what social media says.
 
StubHub: 31 in 100s, 26 in 200s, 207 in 300s
VividSeats: 31 in 100s, 17 in 200s, 190 in 300s

Bit of movement in the last few hours. From some spot checking, definitely a lot of duplicates between the two sites in the 100s.

Biggest game of the night in all of NCAA. And the biggest game for Rutgers this season.

If we lose, then nothing really changes. if we win... everything changes.

Can the same seats be listed on both sites?

Yes, all the sites are independent of each other. You just have to be on top of it to remove your listings once one sells.

Say I have a pair in 202 Row E Seats 14-15
I list those on stubhub, vivid, tickpick
The seats sell on vivid. I need to immediately remove them from stubhub and tickpick. If I don't remove them and they also sell on stubhub, stubhub will now charge me whatever it cost them to give the customer similar tickets.
 
StubHub: 27 in 100s, 27 in 200s, 198 in 300s
VividSeats: 24 in 100s, 25 in 200s, 198 in 300s

Not a ton of movement.

But as to listing on both sites.... there are 11 seats available on each site in sections 105 and 106, and the rows and # of tickets available are identical between the two sites.

So there are probably around 200-300 overall tickets available - though their current owners may end up attending anyway if they cannot sell them before tipoff. Or if there were any speculators, they may be trying to scalp them in the parking lot on the way in.

This is 1 game out of the next 18+. People shouldnt get caught up too much in the result. A win doesn't get us in the NCAA tournament and a loss isn't the end of the world.

This is not college football

Highly doubt people will just attend if they can't sell. Prices will plummet the closer we get to tipoff, and anything unsold the owners will eat

a Win would:

A)change the national view of Rutgers MBB
B) Give us actual path to going undefeated at Home.

For some of the football games I can't make, I've tried selling online and not gotten any takers. Usually then found homes for the tickets by giving them to neighbors or friends, or sent them along with friends who were going to the game to sell to a scalper. While most of the unsold secondary market tickets will likely go unused, I'm sure a portion of them still will be.

Ohio State at Maryland is the biggest game of the night. Ohio State might fall to 1-3 in the conference, which would be wild.
 
It's a little strange how there are a couple sections with a ton of seats, while the rest is fairly scattered.

On both sites, Section 315 has 87 tickets, 317 has 26, 312/313 each have 22, 212 has 20, then 106 has the next most with 8. With such exact numbers, that makes me seem that there's 100% overlap in these tickets.

Looks like 315 had a huge block of tickets.... Rows F, G, H, J, and K each have 14-16 seats available. 317 had H, J, and K all with 8 seats each.
