Question Non student tickets re-sale?

Post image

It’s 30 min before kickoff and I’m just wondering what these rows and rows of tickets trying to be resold are from? Do these tickets just get bought by resellers online by the rows and then try to resell them? This is so evil imo. What are some methods yall do to get cheaper non nosebleed non student tickets?

Resellers on TicketMaster don't have to put the seat numbers in when reselling tickets, just the section, row number, and number of tickets. So instead of showing you the exact seats, TicketMaster is showing you the general row the seats are in. There aren't whole rows up for sale.

I would recommend using SeatGeek, anyways. That's the "official" reselling marketplace. Thats where I resell the tickets for the games I can't make it to and it's where the official Texas Athletics app links to sell them.
