TicketCity Reveals the Top 25 Hottest College Football Games for Week Two
AUSTIN, TX, Sep 02, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) — Opening weekend for college football proved a success for many teams expected to win. Though there were upsets for a few ranked teams, the average price of tickets across the secondary market remains steady.
“Like the polls, the scores from last weekend’s games adjusted prices only slightly across the board,” comments Rafael Rivas, VP of Sales for TicketCity. “Unlike this week last year, there aren’t too many surprise results after this first weekend. We aren’t seeing any significant price drops. In fact, the top game [Michigan at Ohio State] has increased in average price from $748 to $773.”
The only game scheduled for this weekend to make the list is the University of Miami at the University of Florida game. Though the game dropped two spots in the top 25 list from 22 to 24, demand remains high as the price fell only $11 from $316 to just $305. “Even though they play for different conferences, the Miami at Florida game is always big because of the in-state rivalry,” explains Rivas.
