Click on the post title above as it's a link to the prices of tickets for the UCLA v. USC game. Then scroll down and you will see the asking prices jump -- to $4,500.
The cheapest ticket is $75 -- get that one -- and is in Section 27 a distance from the end zone and up in the stands. The vast majority of tickets available in the secondary ticket market represented here are between $100 and $300, and then there are the $1,000 set, which are in various areas, including four in Section 8 on the 25 yard line.
The most expensive -- $4,500 each -- set of tickets is also in Section 8 and between the 20 and 30 yard line. Yes, that's not a misprint.
The set of tickets closest to the 50 yard line are in Section 7 and going for $2,000.
Why the difference? It's just that someone out there thinks that someone else will want to part with half the cost of a cheap Honda Civic just to see a football game from a position not on mid-field and 45 rows up, so they post them for sale. Right; forget it.
It's indicative of the importance of this game as undefeated USC attempts to make it's winning streak longer than the time it took to unmask Deep Throat (just kidding), and against UCLA, which has only lost one -- one game -- this year. One could make a good argument that this is the real National Championship Game.
Given that Notre Dame lost two -- two games -- it's amazing the Fighting Irish are ranked #7 and UCLA is at #11. Whatever the bowl matchup, I'll bet the Notre Dame Ticket market doesn't touch the expense of this one.
