….Business is bad, with the market for Badgers tickets as soft as it has been in recent memory.
“Terrible,” said a scalper named John, who declined to offer his last name but is known to his customers as Ticket JJ. “Itâ??s very, very bad.”
As of a half-hour before game time against the Spartans on Sept. 26 – regarded as the tail end of the high point of sales – none of the eight well-traveled scalpers interviewed for this story had sold a ticket for the $46 face value. And that price doesnâ??t reflect the mandatory annual donation to the BadgerFund required of most seats at Camp Randall. Good seats were selling for as low as $25 through the professionals.
