The game between in-state rivals Michigan and Michigan State is always a hot ticket.
But this time around, both teams enter Spartan Stadium undefeated, and ranking in the top-10 of the AP Poll. It marks the first time both teams have been ranked this high since 1956. And as the chatter and buzz surrounding the game increases, so have the ticket prices.
The MSU box office is sold out of tickets, so the only option for tickets is on the secondary market, and the university has issued a Fraudulent Ticket Warning for prospective buyers.

Secondary sellers like Stub Hub are the only option, and at the time of publication the cheapest tickets are selling for $225 apiece. That total is, in itself, more than the price for student and former student season tickets.
If better seats are in your budget, you can pop for up to $1700 for stadium club seats on the 50 yard line. But if you’re like most of the rest of us, watching from the couch is free.
The battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy will kickoff at 12:00 PM on Saturday, Oct. 30.
