Pack the Rock

The biggest issue with the Heat and for the most part the rest of the Miami sports teams is that the premium court side seats are all owned by corporations. The majority of the people using them aren’t fans, they’re just clients being wined and dined. They tend to show up late and leave early and go to sporting events to see celebrities.

It’s all of the above. The Cuban time is a huge factor too. The idiots on social media spread kickoff pics around, and we all know that Miami fans don’t fill in until mid-first quarter, because they all have to have one more drink first. And then it looks worse in a bright aqua stadium versus a packed-in together college stadium of bleachers. Our attendance numbers now are the same as in the OB, but somehow the talk now is that no one goes to games but the OB was the best home-field advantage in CFB.

The UM ticket office has done this for decades. They jack up the FSU individual game ticket prices assuming it will be the only game that the masses want to attend so they can maximize their profits. Unfortunately for them, FSU is horrible this year and the large contingent of Seminole fans that usually buy tickets for this game are skipping it altogether.

I might still go if I can find something last minute on the secondary market but I just booked a hotel for my vacation next month and dropping $250 for a pair of football tickets kind of puts my budget in the toilet.

The Texas A&M fiasco last year may have been their shining moment of total incompetence. That was truly a sight to see us have 38k butts in seats for a massive game against a ranked sec squad

They wanted $100+ for nosebleed seats to watch a team that just went 5-7 and got blown out every week the prior season.

Last row, upper deck going for $211 on the Miami Hurricanes website. Shockingly, those lumps of seats have not moved at all in the last 72 hours. You're talking about 1,000 seats that have maybe sold 10% the entire week. They're going for half price on secondary markets.

Miami also just released more tickets that weren't showing up earlier in the week so this, "We're almost sold out", stuff isn't true. It looks like the East end zone is not full at all.

Technically those tickets are already sold so even if nobody buys them from stub hub, it would still be sold out.

Not necessarily, teams/athletic departments use the secondary market of ticket resellers to help move unsold seats at below face value.

Im not sure if MIami does but if not, they should. Particularly for a situation like this where there is a very high face value and the "premium" opponent ends up having a bad year. They cant drop all their prices or it would upset the people who paid full value. This is the work around.

It makes sense but I don’t know the legality of it. I feel like there could be some kind of recourse if people who paid retail found out the same tickets were being sold below face value from the same vendor. I don’t know the rules though.

What's the best site for getting some tickets? I'm trying to purchase 4 tix, but prices are all over the **** place.
