Stubhub sells the same tickets at different prices depending on location purchased

SOLVED: I decided to do the investigating myself and called StubHub and asked about this discrepency. I was told that they are changing their prices for this game based on supply and demand for each region. This is news to me, as I thought the price shown was the price set by the seller.

While away on a work trip the last few days in California, a friend of mine was looking at tickets for the LSU @ Texas game.

When he got home to Dallas TX, he noticed that the prices were all higher. To test, he remoted into his Cali computer and saw that the exact same tickets are $50 cheaper in California than they are here in Dallas.

Why is Stubhub doing this?

I ain't say all that now lol......but we gonna show em we them boys 8/24

What's the spread? Last time I checked it was -8 UF. Soon as the parlays open up. I'm booking UF as one of them. Realistically they could win by 14. Diaz another Oye coach that is about to disappoint.

Sooooo.....John Huggins @malbaker86 @904Lurker

Huggy big wylin I see. Mullen too vague for me to even try and follow what he talking about about his eligibility. I like Huggy too, feel he should be a starter at safety, but here we are. Depth ISSSSS starting to become a concern on the back end cause we still not sure what's up with Brad Stewart and now even though McWilliams didn't have the greatest season last year, him being out for the year with a torn achilles doesn't help either. We got depth at safety, but nobody has really shown up and showed out like some of the great safety play we've had in the past

Not sure bruh. And no disrespect to Miami or disrespect I don't care, but they just look and sound just like I did with my Gators did in 2011 when we hired Muschamp to replace a legend in Meyer (like they are with Richt after a subpar season) and brought in Charlie Weis as our OC (like they are with Enos). I thought the new blood with hiring a DC for a HC who was around a legend (Mack Brown) would be a smooth transition and that Weis would get the offense on track....we saw how that worked out

those ACC coaches respek Cutcliff like a Don

Clemscum thoughts

"What can you say? They're a step-and-a-half past everyone else in the ACC. You can't even call them an SEC-caliber program. They're an Alabama-caliber school, a Georgia-caliber school. Literally. Coaches in our league have been talking about this for almost a decade now; we could see the money they were raising and spending and how it was translating. They're a war machine."

"Brent Venables is a head coach, flat out. He's in a better situation as a DC there than more than half the head jobs in the country, but he's a head coach. He'll have that next set ready."

FSU thoughts...all basically saying Jimbo aint shyt

"That staff was probably too optimistic last year. Willie Taggart got his dream job and all that, but that roster had serious problems."



"The offense did not work at all under Walt Bell; that was a really bad fit with the players and with Taggart, and now they're banking on Kendal Briles. The upside is that he usually gets successful quick. Look at Houston and FAU — he can put guys in and adjust on the fly. The system won't look that much different than last year, but you have a guy in Kendal who is really going to control all phases. Taggart trusts him; they go way back."



"They have to get better on the offensive line. They were handed a short roster, but they also didn't look well coached at all. It killed their run game."



"James Blackman is good enough to start, but you have to think Alex Hornibrook didn't transfer for one year not to play. Either one will be an improvement over Deondre Francois. To put it politely, he didn't look ‘coachable' at times last year, and they need someone at that position in this season to help them sell their new era."



"Defensively, they're strong, especially in the back. They're going to be a lot deeper at linebacker especially."



"They lose Brian Burns in the pass rush, but they have some scary dudes inside on that line."



"It’s still a really young roster with a lot of gaps from some bad recruiting years before Fisher left."

GTech talk

"They're going to have to rework their entire offensive line. We've had some visiting coaches who saw Tech tell us they're a ways off of being even decent. That's what you expect, though. These guys are smaller, four-point stance guys who have never gone into proper pass protection schemes."



"Tobias Oliver is their best quarterback, but he's definitely a triple guy. They could end up starting someone new if he can't make the throws."



"They have no tight end position, so they'll have to build that from scratch. They have no possession receivers and a lot of dudes who block and break out wide open on play-actions. Lots of work there."

"This job has always been a huge program waiting for the right guy. It looks like Geoff Collins is that guy. He’s a native and he can recruit like he’s in the SEC. He could make this team a force to be reckoned with four years from now, and he knows it."

The . U

"One of the most unique ‘first years' I think we've ever seen, between Manny (Diaz) leaving the program for Temple and then coming back to replace Mark (Richt). You've got consistency in relationships on your defense. Then you add in the new ‘Transfer Portal U,' and they're going to look totally different at a lot of places in Week 1. If it works, everyone will try to copy it."



"The guys we've seen coming in from the portal have made them more athletic, more competitive right away. The actual high school recruiting class wasn't good by their standards."



"Defensively, keeping all three linebackers makes them good right away, add that with the new guys at defensive end, and that one from Virginia Tech is good (Trevon Hill)."



"Dan Enos is going to bring more of a pro-style look into Miami. I think if you're looking at Tua (Tagovailoa) and (Jalen) Hurts and what Alabama did, that's more of him adjusting to the superior talent an Alabama gets. We think you aren't going to see them go heavy on RPO. To be clear — you'll see it, or at least you should because they have guys who can do it, but they will go more pro base and build off that."
