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. You will notice fewer games than the first three weeks, mainly thanks to more teams opening conference play.
A quick reminder on the ground rules;
- Prices as of 10 a.m. Thursday, September 17
- Using SeatGeek, given its partnership with WVU Athletics
Here we go.
Where the Mountaineers stand
WVU is back home after upsetting No. 25 Virginia in relatively swift fashion.
With the win comes high demand, thanks to a 3-0 start and hype surrounding the program growing exponentially by the day. It is the second-most expensive game of the Mountaineers’ first four contests, at least at last check. It is far and away the most expensive home game yet.
The cheapest ticket for Saturday’s primetime showdown between WVU and Oklahoma State clocks in at $89. The get-in cost is significantly higher than the last game at Milan Puskar Stadium ($34 against UT Martin), and only $3 under the Duke’s Mayo Classic.
The Mountaineers’ four-game average sits at $69.25.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Morgantown, with the game airing on FS1. It will be quite the sight to see whether you go in person or watch on TV, with a projected full crowd participating in the Gold Rush theme. It is also WVU’s conference opener.
Saturday slate
Seven other games are on the Big 12 schedule Saturday, with four of the seven counting in conference play.
- No. 11 Texas Tech vs. Sam Houston: $53 – Galaxy Stadium (12 p.m. on TNT) | Lubbock, Texas
- Baylor vs. Colorado: $15 – McLane Stadium (12 p.m. on ESPN2) | Waco, Texas
- Iowa State vs. No. 15 Utah: $34 – Jack Trice Stadium (3:30 p.m. on FOX) | Ames, Iowa
- UCF vs. TCU: $11 – Acrisure Bounce House (3:30 p.m. on FS1) | Orlando, Florida
- No. 25 Houston @ Georgia Southern: $34 – Paulson Stadium (4 p.m. on ESPNU) | Statesboro, Georgia
- Cincinnati vs. Kansas State: $53 – Nippert Stadium (7 p.m. on ESPN2) | Cincinnati, Ohio
- Arizona @ Washington State: $32 – Gesa Field (7:30 p.m. on CBS) | Pullman, Washington
The average get-in price around the conference, not counting WVU, is $40.25 (-$6.33 from Week 3).
Mountaineer money
WVU’s marquee matchup against Oklahoma State is the top game on the Big 12 slate, so there is no question as to why it is the most expensive game of the bunch. Last week, the Mountaineers were slotted second among the league.
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.
