It's fairly easy to scrape the Gophers ticketing website to determine how many tickets are remaining for a given game. I have a rooted interest in the Nebraska game and I have been tracking closely, so I figured I'd share. Here's the data.

If anyone is interested in the breakdown for a different game just let me know and I can pull that as well.

Note: the slight upticks you'll see in a given zone from one date to another is simply the ticket office releasing inventory previously held back for season ticket sales. I don't think they've released more than a few hundred seats total so I don't think it materially affects the data.

Interesting to note here that there has been virtually no movement at the $200+ price point (Zones 1, 2, 3 and 21 (outdoor club)), so one could argue that the ticket office has overpriced this inventory.

They seem to be consistently overpricing "premium" inventory in my opinion, as many games seem to have open seats at the 50 even when the corners are fairly full.
 

I'm guessing this is going to be a very popular trip for the Husker fans.

In my opinion, it seems the U ticket office constantly overprices what they perceive as premium events (see men’s hockey vs UND as another example) which leads to more of of town visiting fans (if you were coming from Nebraska for a $50 ticket, you’d still come for $100 as it is not as significant of a shift in total price point for your trip). It seems this is how the U is comfortable making its money
 




This is a game that I have been considering going to for awhile, but I don't think I am willing to pay the current prices for it. It's not quite as outrageous as ticket prices for the Vikings' games, but $300-$400 for 3 tickets in the endzone or corners (at best) seems pretty high to me.

Zone 1 has had negative mvmnt. since 8/30. 212 available, then to 250, now 246
 




Let’s hope Gophers fans show up because Nebraska fans travel really well. Huskers outnumbered Colorado fans at Colorado a couple weeks ago.

I'm selling 2 seats in Section 148 (endzone) on the aisle. PM me your price if interested.
 


"3,935 tickets remaining vs Nebraska -- here's a breakdown by Zone"

If there are only 3,955 tickets remaining for a game that is still almost a month off, well... it seems to me that's a pretty good sign. Maybe interest in the program is ticking up.
 



This is just on the gopher ticketing website, what about 3rd party vendors? Are there tickets on those still?

Lots of Nebraska fans most likely

Yes, 1,900 listed on StubHub. 90%+ of those will get sold though, just depends on what price.

Going to be close to if not completely sold out, and butts in seats will likely depend on kickoff time combined with weather.

I purchased my tickets on Stubhub. They were expensive, but I'm excited as this will be my first Gophers/Huskers game.
