Welcome back to the Get-in prices series, back for Week 11 of the college football season. We return after WVU (5-4, 2-4) dropped a heartbreaker to a ranked Texas Tech squad. The ticket pricing spotlight is designed to get a feel for games in the Big 12 on a week-to-week basis. There is no need to waste time on getting into it.

Of course, these numbers are only as up to date as they are at the time of publication. Some games will soar, others will tank.

Regardless, it serves as a good check of the pulse around the conference, and a way to see how WVU stacks up in terms of demand. The number of games have dwindled again, with conference play in full swing.
A quick reminder on the ground rules;
- Prices as of 10 a.m. Thursday, November 12
- Using SeatGeek, given its partnership with WVU Athletics
Here we go.
Where the Mountaineers stand
Despite coming up short in the shootout in Lubbock, WVU is still on the brink of bowl eligibility a year after finishing 4-8. The Mountaineers still have to deal with two more opponents in the current top 25 rankings, but must first deal with Kansas.
WVU is back in Morgantown for its first game at Milan Puskar Stadium since October 17. While it is not expected to be a sellout by any means, having home field advantage is going to be a welcome factor for the old gold and blue.

This week’s get-in rates are on the lower end, with the cheapest ticket on SeatGeek Thursday clocking in at $38. It is exactly half the reported price of last week’s game in Texas.
Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. and will air on ESPNU/ESPN+.
Friday night lights
One Big 12 matchup gets a Friday night slot this week, with No. 14 Houston heading into Boulder to face Colorado.
- Colorado vs. No. 14 Houston: $23 – Folsom Field (10:15 p.m. on ESPN) | Boulder, Colorado
Tickets for CU Buffs football have slowly declined throughout the season, as Deion Sanders’ crew has progressively fallen apart. They sit at 3-6.
Saturday slate
Six other games, not counting WVU, are set to fill out the Saturday slate for the Big 12 — and it all starts at noon.
- Iowa State vs. Cincinnati: $21 – Jack Trice Stadium (12 p.m. on TNT) | Ames, Iowa
- TCU vs. Kansas State: $19 – Amon G. Carter Stadium (2 p.m. on ESPNU) | Fort Worth, Texas
- No. 10 BYU vs. Baylor: $62 – LaVell Edwards Stadium (3:30 p.m. on FOX) | Provo, Utah
- UCF vs. Arizona State: $19 – Acrisure Bounce House (3:30 p.m. on ESPN2) | Orlando, Florida
- No. 23 Arizona vs. No. 2 Utah: $34 – Casino Del Sol Stadium (7:30 p.m. on FOX) | Tucson, Arizona
- No. 25 Oklahoma State vs. No. 12 Texas Tech: $207 – Boone Pickens Stadium (9:30 p.m. on ESPN) | Stillwater, Oklahoma
The nightcap between the Cowboys and Red Raiders heavily skews this week’s numbers, and it is sure to be an electric environment down in Stillwater.
The average get-in price around the conference for Week 11, not counting WVU, clocks in at $60.33 (-$40.67).
Mountaineer money
WVU’s total this week is good for third-highest across the league, which is a bit shocking since it is below $40. Admittedly, some of these matchups feature pairs of flailing squads, but the Arizona-Utah game does not make much sense. That could be an amazing game between two ranked teams.
As you can presume, these numbers will not only vary in the days leading up to kickoff, but also on a week-to-week basis.
