+$40
Tighter window, higher average price
Match 2 closed the Fan to Fan Resale market 1 hour before kickoff and recorded a $104.51 average ticket price — $40 higher than Match 1's $64.90. Compressed windows concentrate demand and support stronger pricing.
Recommended actions for AC Boise: (1) Implement minimum price floors per category — suggested $20 for Ford Family, $35 for Beer Garden/Supporter, $50 for 200-level sections — to reduce speculative markup while keeping the market open. (2) Monitor Club 5/6 markup (60–90%) — there is room to capture additional value if rulesets are adjusted. The Fan to Fan Resale program is performing well and provides measurable financial value to the club.
