Given the unexpected stakes of a Big 12 Championship bid, ticket prices for the much-anticipated football game between Arizona State and BYU have skyrocketed. According to a FOX 10 Phoenix story, the matchup, which also serves as ASU’s homecoming game, has attracted such a passionate fan base that as of Wednesday, tickets for close-up seats were selling for anywhere between $265 and an exorbitant $1000 on reselling platforms.
The demand reflects a season for the Sun Devils that has exceeded expectations and inspired both alumni and students. “We adore it. Every pupil adores being outside. “You hear the conversations in the streets and hallways every day: ASU football is coming up!” Eugene, a sophomore, said in an interview with FOX 10 Phoenix. A student named Zach echoed this idea, saying, “Everyone is enthusiastic. I’ve spoken to folks in class, and I know it will be enjoyable. The quick sell-out of tickets is another indication of this zeal; one student told FOX 10 Phoenix that he was “1,200 in queue” when ticket sales started, only to watch them sell out in a matter of hours.
Longtime Valley ticket broker Jason Karniol told AZFamily that there is little chance of a price reduction prior to kickoff, despite the current high price tag. “I would purchase the tickets if you are able to pay these costs. Now, I’ll wait if you’re thinking, “Oh my god, I can’t spend $300.” When it comes to $100, that is just not going to occur,” Karniol stated. “Nobody is selling a ticket for $100 nobody,” he said bluntly, underscoring the need for purchasers seeking a bargain to exercise cautious. Thus, exercise due diligence.
ASU’s free block celebration for Homecoming, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a parade, is an option for people who cannot afford the high admission price or who might have missed their chance to get a seat in the stadium. Even though Mountain America Stadium will be crowded with fortunate ticket holders, Tempe’s streets will still be bustling with celebration, giving the locals a chance to share in what is sure to be the year’s biggest event for this sports community.
