Looks like OU-Missouri — announced as a sellout earlier in the week — is a tougher ticket than you thought.
According to a report Thursday on Kansas City television station KMBC’s website, the average OU-MU ticket on StubHub.com is running $125, and eBay.com is reporting similar prices.
Standing-room-only seats start at $84 for tickets purchased from Internet brokers and can get as high as $180. Seats start around $130 each. End zone seats are priced at $300. KMBC reports the cheapest ticket bought to the game was $53, while one near the 40-yard line went for $375.
Both teams are 6-0. The Sooners are ranked No. 1 in the Bowl Championship Series standings, the Tigers are 11th. OU has won seven in a row in the series and 19 of the last 20, including two of the previous three Big 12 championship games.
Kickoff is 7 p.m. at Mizzou’s 71,004-seat Faurot Field. If you can’t make the trip, or if you can and just can’t afford tickets, the game is a national ABC telecast.
