Ticket Prices

[Wandering Spectator]

I did a little analysis of ticket prices for this season. I used the lowest "get in" price on Tick Pick. No surprises here...

Most expensive "Get In" price for B1G conference games this year:
1) OSU @ Michigan $490
2) Michigan @ MSU $299
3) Iowa @ PSU $230
4) OSU @ Wisconsin $190
5) PSU @ OSU $188
6) Michigan @ PSU $185
...
63) Illinois @ Maryland $7

Which B1G team commands the highest "get in" ticket prices for HOME games? The average "get in" price:
1) Michigan $135
2) Penn State $105
3) Ohio State $102
4) Michigan State $100
5) Wisconsin $69
6) Iowa $63
7) Minnesota $63
8) Nebraska $54
9) Northwestern $52
10) Indiana $51
11) Rutgers $42
12) Purdue $33
13) Maryland $26
14) Illinois $23

Which B1G team commands the highest "get in" ticket prices for AWAY games? These fan bases travel best for 2023:
1) Ohio State $255
2) Michigan $164
3) Iowa $141
4) Nebraska $111
5) Penn State $92
6) Purdue $73
7) Michigan State $67
8) Minnesota $59
9) Wisconsin $58
10) Maryland $55
11) Rutgers $46
12) Indiana $38
13) Illinois $32
14) Northwestern $28

The big boys continue to hold up the league in terms of demand.

One can see all of the Illinois home and away games for about $300.

More fun with numbers... If you throw out the highest-price game and the lowest-price game for each team, the rank of the Average HOME game changes.

1) PSU $96 (Iowa $230 & Rutgers $24)
2) OSU $93 (PSU $188 & W. KY $50)
3) Michigan $81 (OSU $490 & UNLV $51)
4) Michigan State $74 (Mich $299 & Richmond $35)
5) Iowa $63 (MN $93 & Rutgers $38)
6) Minny $58 (Mich $127 & Illinois $22)
7) Wisconsin $53 (OSU $190 & Ga Southern $29)
8) Indiana $48 (OSU $91 and Akron $23)
8) Northwestern $48 (Iowa $107 & UTEP $15)
10) Nebraska $45 (Mich $130 & La Tech $21)
11) Rutgers $36 (OSU $89 & Wagner $25)
12) Purdue $25 (OSU $93 & MN $15)
13) Illinois $22 (Wisconsin $40 & Toledo $9)
14) Maryland $19 (Mich $80 & Charlotte $6)

What's interesting is that every away game for OSU is the highest-priced home game for their opponent.

Conversely, Rutgers is actually the cheapest home game for two teams (PSU and Iowa) - even cheaper than non-con opponents Delaware (PSU), UMass (PSU), Utah State (Iowa), and Western Michigan (Iowa).

Illinois is the cheapest HOME game for Northwestern - cheaper than Louisiana and Eastern Michigan

Minnesota is the cheapest HOME game for Purdue - cheaper than Syracuse and Fresno State.
