IOWA CITY, Iowa - One of the hottest tickets in the country this weekend is to see Iowa and Iowa State square off on Saturday.
The Iowa State athletics department said the game has been sold out for weeks, while the University of Iowa said its entire allotment has been bought as well.
Ticket prices ranged from more than $200 to nearly $2,000 across four different secondary market ticket sites on Wednesday. With tickets this expensive, the Better Business Bureau Serving Greater Iowa, Quad Cities & Siouxland Region is warning fans to be careful when they’re buying.
The BBB recommends avoiding websites like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.
The Iowa State athletics department said it only recommends fans buy through Iowa State Ticket Exchange through TicketMaster because those tickets are all verified as real.
The BBB said fans who buy from other secondary market ticket sites should make sure there’s a return policy in case the ticket they buy is fake.
