@handsofblab 

there’s a ticket exchange page on the main forum site (where you pick between football, basketball, water cooler, etc). 

some might be scams. 

some might be IU folks with lots of priority points hoarding tickets and scalping for a little less than SeatGeek resale. 

we booked flights/hotel in Miami after the rose bowl. If we can’t score tickets before we go I’m going to wait until gameday for prices to fall or I’m going to pay an arm & a leg while there.

Thanks.  I think that's what we may do too.  Head down there and figure it out.  Hope it doesn't come to that but I'm going to Miami, hell or high water.

For all of you who have traveled for every football game I tip my hat to solute you. When I saw IU was coming through Atlanta there was no way I wasn’t going to watch them in person for the first time this season and miss this rare opportunity to see IU football do something historic, but I can’t swing all the travel unfortunately. You all have my admiration for your dedication and support.

@tmft day before the natty last year get in was $1500 day of was 6k.  I’m holding half my tickets till day of because I think everyone and their brother is waiting because of the last two games market. I’ve never had more texts/emails for any IU game in my life.  Demand is insane.

Ticketmaster, stubhub, gametime, and other sites are still asking >$3,200 for nosebleed seats. Crazy.

Right now anything listed under 3k on StubHub is getting bought within 10 mins.  My guess is the market will get a bump in inventory Thursday. Will see prices go down to about 2500 and shoot up saturday/Sunday when inventory is low

some non-ticket related tips from a south Florida resident

Flying to Miami?  Check out flights to Ft. Lauderdale (FLL) also... it  is actually closer to the stadium and usually cheaper.  West Palm (PBI) is within 45 minutes too and is a small, quick airport to get in and out of, though you'll likely have to connect through Atlanta from PBI (not a lot of direct flights).

Hotel?  You don't need to be that close.  If you are near I-95 or the Florida turnpike, as far north as Jupiter FL gets you within an hour and you won't likely be paying out the nose prices.  Though... winter is high season,  so it still won't be cheap.   I bet you will find IU fans in restaurants and bars throughout.  I wouldn't go much further north than Jupiter. Stuart and Port St. Lucie puts you 90 minutes away and likely more with traffic.

If you stay in or near West Palm you even have the option of taking a Brightline train to and from the stadium
