Best way to buy game tickets?

[mbredenk101 528]

 

I may need to buy 4 tickets to the Jackson State game next Tuesday. It's been 18 years since I have bought tickets to a game and am wanting to take my kids for the first time. What is the best app or site to use to purchase? StubHub? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi.  Online IU Athletics first. They have tickets for $48. Maybe some returns, I don't know.  Stubhub and the thread in this fan site for tickets from other fans.  Good luck.  Read a little about being careful in any purchase.  I know that people buy and sell and/or give away tickets just before the games...as one approaches the SSAH.  Buying the latter way may not be legal...and they could be counterfeit...not that I have heard that. I gave away one once to a parent wearing IU gear.

Yes-IU Athletics website. Much easier and no service fee:) But don't wait until the last minute especially if you want 4 seats together.

I definitely wouldn’t buy from the IU athletics site unless you hate your bank account. The same caliber of ticket IU is selling for $48 a piece for the St. John’s game can be had for $6 on stubhub. 

Edit: just saw that you wanted Jackson State tickets. IU will sell you four tickets in row 42 for $202. You can get four row 41 tickets for $80 on stubhub.

Interesting. Thank you for the tip! I guess shop around then.

Wow, Stubhub has some good seats at low prices for a power 5 game.

IU Basketball has a pricing issue that is simple to fix, yet for some reason has not been done.

Every other sports team (including IU Football) have realized you have to dynamically price tickets in this day and age with some games costing more than others based on the opponent and it has made the secondary market and primary ticket market mostly match price wise (unless a team is really bad).

For some unexplained reason IU basketball is about the only team in the country not to adapt dynamic pricing, so you get a situation where the secondary market is way cheaper for bad games and way more expensive for good games.

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions! I may be purchasing some tickets later today. I appreciate the response with various options!

Any tips on finding floor seats? Ideally feet on the court but within a row or two is good too. Haven’t seen any online
