Why not sell them to Oregon fans considering NU fans are too cheap to buy them.
How do you justify $650 for a single seat , sold directly from NU ticket office, not on the secondary market
Ha well that’s one way to look at it! I’ve been to a heck of a lot of northwestern games, traveling annd paying significant sums of money to do so, and I don’t think I would consider myself cheap, but I could be blind to myself and hopelessly biased.
With the prices as they are currently listed, I am firmly on the cheap train. I work for a living.
James Steuart, Scottish economist of the 18th century, was the first to coin the term “supply and demand”. He did so in his book An Inquiry into the Principles of Political Economy.
I attended the Stanford v NU game in 2019(?). I bought my ticket from Stanford and remain on their email list for ticket information.
I received an invitation to buy a 3 game plan for 2025. As a test I chose upper deck seats around the 40'. The games I picked were BC, ND, and Pitt- the cost was $165 total.

Asking seriously, don't mean to flame.
You truly don't understand the economic differences between Stanford (who averaged 25K last year including multiple games under 20K in a 50K stadium) vs. our situation at Lakeside this year?
I understand that NU does not have the fan base to support a ticket model that many other schools currently employ. NU is a small private school with limited local, state or National allegiance
If NU's plan is to sell out 2 prime games a year to visiting fans , they seem to be on the way there.
I called the NU Ticket Office and was told that my grandfathered STH status did not allow purchase of tickets and wait for the public sale
I then learned that Wildcat Fund donors were eligible to buy tickets. I opened the website, confirmed how many tickets I needed but the website disappeared.
I contacted the NU ticket office and was told the WF ticket sales were not their responsibility and was over and did not include Wrigley tickets
I called the Wildcat Fund and was informed that indeed WF ticket sales including Wrigley were still ongoing. I was assured I would be contacted by their ticket representative the next day-well I am still waiting for that call.
I was a 20+ year STH , that lived a 1000 miles from Evanston , made a couple of games a year , most bowl games and never sold my extra tickets on the secondary market but gave them to other NU fans(ask Uber)
So, if I sound a little disappointed in NU, I'm sorry. NU obviously does not need fans like me.
The prices are justified by the market and will now more directly help the team than ever before.
The lack of customer service or competency on the other hand… Now that we’re going for a small stadium with premium price points for our small but affluent fan base, the ticket office experience should be adjusted to match. It should be white glove service,
The way they have handled everything the last couple of years leaves me very little hope of how they are going to conduct their business once the new stadium opens.
