It’s a rough economy out there, but that apparently isn’t stopping fans from paying top price for tomorrow’s showdown between No. 3 Pitt and No. 1 Connecticut at the Petersen Events Center.
The average selling price of a ticket to tomorrow’s game on stubhub.com is $163 and the company is completely sold out of tickets. It is the highest-grossing Pitt home game in the company’s history.
An interesting sidenote, the Feb. 16 game in Hartford against Connecticut was the highest-grossing Connecticut home game in the company’s history, but the average price to that game was only $81, about half of what tickets were going for tomorrow’s game.
I wonder if the people who paid more than $250 for a ticket will think it's worth it if DeJuan Blair picks up two early fouls and spends the rest of the first half onthe bench.
