Lol, Nebraska’s spring game sold out in just over 24 hours, and re-sale tickets are starting at $500 each

Nebraska fans are clamoring to get the first look at new head coach Scott Frost’s Cornhusker team, as tickets for the upcoming spring game are going for $500 a pop. The school sold out its tickets for the scrimmage at Memorial Stadium in just over 24 hours, too.

Season ticket holders were able to begin purchasing spring game tickets Tuesday at 10 a.m., and nearly 60,000 had been sold in about the first seven hours.

Excuse me? $500+ for a freaking spring game? My God, I don’t even want to know what Week 1 tickets for Nebraska’s home opener against Akron will go for. Nebraska spring games are used to having big crowds on hand — last year Nebraska finished second behind Ohio State in spring game attendance rankings with 78,312 coming to see the game.

Still, selling out in just over 24 hours and re-sale tickets going for at least $500 a pop is something. We’ll see if other spring game heavy hitters like OSU, Alabama, and Penn State can top this.
