So from browsing y'all's ticket posts, is it safe to say not everyone has received their tickets (and thus inventory on stubhub might not reflect what eventually might go on there?). Looks like I'll need to rely on stub hub for the ones I know I'm going to.

Single match tickets went on sale this AM. I wasn't at all sure what to expect with regard to reserved sections and the game of musical chairs we've been playing. But inferring from where single tickets are available and unavailable, gold and silver and bronze are all full sell-outs; a fair number of reserved seats available in "red" - lower level 'corners'. (And I'm not sure how this works exactly, but from the first moments, the number of general admission tickets available for Nebraska are *significantly* less than the other matches.) MN and NE say "currently unavailable" so probably sold out. Nebraska game was completely sold out within the first few minutes this morning and there were still some Minnesota tickets when I obtained mine at 9:15.

Looks like I'll need to rely on stub hub for the ones I know I'm going to. I just checked again. No, pdfs of actual tickets still not available. The message says they'll be available "48 hours before the event". If that turns out to be true, that would be new; other times in the post-COVID digital-only ticket era, pdfs were downloadable and printable weeks before the matches/games.

Hmm, last year I bought a ticket with stubhub telling me it would be emailed later. It never arrived and I had to try to scramble to buy a new one with a weak cell signal at a campground (and I disputed the stubhub charge--they had no means to contact them directly - very frustrating). Now I try to only get instant delivery tickets, but if UW won't be providing tickets to season ticket holders until close to the event, that could complicate things.

Now I try to only get instant delivery tickets, but if UW won't be providing tickets to season ticket holders until close to the event, that could complicate things. Since digital only, UW has offered tickets as either pdf files or "don't print this, it won't work" digital files. I think each of the sports I pay attention to - VB, men and women hockey, and football - offered both, but I'm not 100% sure of that. This summer, UW was the host for the women's Under-18 world hockey championships, and those tickets were only available as "do not print" digital only. To buy a "resale" do-not-print ticket directly from the original holder, you have to go through the "Badger app" on phone or tablet; they use the app to "transfer" it to you and then you find it as having been transferred into your "upcoming events" in the app. I only did that once, and I think payment has to be done outside the app, though I don't recall for certain. Tickets sold through StubHub can be either pdf or the "do not print" digitals. I've bought both for football; I don't recall exactly how the "do not print" process went through StubHub, but for the pdfs, you just get a link to download it, etc. (I don't have season tickets for football, but I go to pretty much every game. I used to regularly buy tickets on CraigsList or on the street the day of the game, but those guys are now limited to holding sheets of printed pdfs, and you have to hope nobody along the way printed a second copy of the pdf; there's nothing to prevent that from happening. The sellers out on the street are not at all happy about it, it has just about put them out of business.) (For NCAA tournament last year, I had do-not-print tickets that I wanted to email to relatives outside of the app, so I called the Athletic dept to ask if they could "reissue" them as pdf tickets, and they said sure, no problem. So that's an option that might come in handy.) I looked again just now, and not only do I not have pdfs available, I also have no tickets currently available for transfer through the app (VB or women's hockey). So, yeah, finding an "after market" ticket could be even harder this year. I don't know if that's the intent, but it is or will be the effect. It doesn't worry me for football, doing "last minute" will be OK living here intown. But coming from out of town, and having faith you'll find something.... Good luck. If you find yourself in a situation where you need some legwork done on the ground, ask and I'll see what I can do.

I also emailed the ticket office to get some clarification regarding StubHub inventory or after market purchase advice.

I will be going to Florida and Minnesota games. We should see a sellout for the Kohl Center match but we'll only have between 13 and 14 thousand in the seats I bet. I really wish if someone doesn't use their tickets find someone who will put their butt in the seats. We're going for HISTORY here! The last time they did a "Fill The Bowl" game for women's hockey, the announced number of tickets sold was over 14K, but the actual number of people in the building was probably half that. I never did find a "tickets scanned" number for that game. Other "Full The Bowl" games had similar such "no show" numbers. The best attended was in 2017; over 15K announced and over 10K actually scanned. But then those games had significantly 'discounted' tickets, sometimes as low as $1. Tickets for Florida are $15 for the lower bowl, then $10 and $5 for the upper levels. So maybe lower percents of no-shows.

100 level corners are starting to show up at StubHub etc. But the 'game' of StubHub availability and pricing, etc, is just beginning.

Response from ticket office:
Season ticket holders will not be able to post their tickets to Stub Hub until they are electronically delivered which will be done the week of August 22nd. Single game tickets went on sale today and were immediately delivered. We directly partner with StubHub, so if you purchase through Stub Hub, you would create an account that we can see as well. As long you are buying tickets from someone who has purchased tickets through us directly, we are able to go into your account and assist.

That reminds me, there was an article recently in, I think the Wi State Journal - the local Madison paper - about some number of football season ticket holders who were denied the opportunity to renew their season ticket orders because the University said all they were doing was buying them to resell. Yes, indeed, they can see your ticket activity. :-o ------------ Here's the article, outside of the State Journal pay wall. akhbartk.com/why-wisconsin-cut-off-more-than-100-football-season-ticket-holders-from-buying-again-in-2022-college-football/

Does anyone know if the ten dollar fee I was charged when buying single match tickets this morning is common?
The ticket was $20 (GA), $2.50 “fee” and then another $10 “order charge”? Anyone have experience with this? Happy to pay it because $32 is still decent but that seemed like a lot? Would it be because I bought just one ticket?
