Demand for Oregon tickets at a historic high

Nov. 7, 2013, 12:32 a.m.

Based on the selling price of tickets on the secondary market, tickets for tonight’s game between Stanford and Oregon are the most demanded for a home game in Stanford’s history and the fifth-most demanded in Pac-12 history.

According to data collected and analyzed by SeatGeek, the average price of a ticket on the secondary market is $183. The only other Stanford home game to come close to that average price was the matchup between Stanford and Oregon in 2011, which saw tickets sell for an average price of $174.

The most expensive ticket sold for tonight’s game, according to SeatGeek, was a place at the 50-yard line that went for $895.

This unprecedented demand for tickets on the secondary market is specific to tonight’s game, not the 2013 season as a whole. Over the first four Stanford home games, the average resale price was only $44 per ticket.

These statistics put the Stanford-Oregon game as the second most desirable ticket in college football this week. Only LSU-Alabama, with an average resale price of $395 per ticket, has been outselling tonight’s game.
