Men's basketball non-conference tickets on sale.
Michigan's non-conference basketball tickets are on sale to the general public if you enter the code grthree
Warning: Arizona tickets are single seat only, and $60 a pop.
The rest of the home non-conference schedule is really really poor. I had to look up South Carolina State to see if they had a program. They do not.
At any rate, this is a chance to see the NCAA Runner-Ups in person without shelling out hundreds of dollars for season tickets(Or promising your first-born children to stub hub). You know the drill. mgoblue.com

I'm gonna go the StubHub route for Arizona. With surcharges through mgoblue it's $74 per ticket.

I would have paid $40 via mgoblue, but $60? Nope.
And yeah, the non-conference home schedule is a joke. Every big game sans Arizona is either on the road or at a neutral site. I get that Iowa State is our return game and that Duke is part of the B1G/ACC Challenge and isn't our choice (though now it's three of the last four years on the road, total BS). However, how about doing a home-and-home with Stanford instead of in Brooklyn? How about scheduling teams that decent, RPI and reputation-wise, yet can still be defeated without cratering SOS.

I'll be really annoyed if all the conference games are priced that high.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:35 AM ^
Cheapest I'm seeing at StubHub are $89.99!
October 10th, 2013 at 10:17 AM ^
They'll come down, we've still got two months 'til that game.

So what's the best route for someone thinking about catching a couple of the lower tier games? Can you buy tickets on a walk up basis? Are they cheaper through Stub Hub? Also, the Concordia game appears to be a scrimmage. Is there any difference in ticket prices/policy for that one?

SCS & Houston Baptist for $10, all the rest $15.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:19 AM ^
Aside from Arizona, I don't know if there is another OOC game that sounds intriguing to me. Coppin State, Houston Baptist, Holy Cross? If only Iowa State and Duke were here and not away, that might help a lot.

Crisler itself is a spectactle to behold. For $10-15 it's worth to see if you haven't been since the renovations.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:37 AM ^
My son-in-law (U of M alum) and daughter will be up over Christmas and we're going to see Holy Cross, mostly for that reason.

$11 on stub hub.

Bringing my 13 year old Sun for him first UM Weekend. looking for 2 lower level tickets for Umass game on Nov 8. Checked stubhub and only thing available is 2nd level.
October 10th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
Your Sun is only 13 years old?! Wow! Can we even consider it a protostar at that point?
Lower level tickets were tough to get even before the final four run, so it might be an uphill battle. The upper level isn't bad, especially in a section across from the Maize Rage. Just avoid getting too high up.

I almost bought the family pack for the Houston Baptist game. Would have been $70 for four tickets, four drinks, four hot dogs. Fortunately, I looked at StubHub and got better seats for $7 each ($37 total with fees). I think you'll be able to get all non-conference besides Arizona for next to nothing. Lots of people bought season tickets and won't want to go to all of those games.
I agree with the above comments about the schedule. Man, those are some bad games.
October 10th, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
I may be in the minority, but I think $60 for the Arizona game is cheap! Considering we were the runner up last year, that's not a whole lot of cash to pay to watch a marquee game. Maybe my price sensitivity is dulled because I grew up going to Jayhawks games where the cheapest ticket in the house was $250+.
Just seems to be normal, IMO.

That's probably a top 15 matchup on a weekend. I bought a pair at $60 each. Didn't seem unreasonable.
