Pitt-Connecticut, the hottest ticket in town

 

            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.

I would like to trade a Wednesday night Pirate game in late April for a Pitt-Uconn ticket.  You get a hot dog at half price!!
