Do BYU tickets
really dropbefore kickoff?

Every remaining home game at LaVell Edwards Stadium, tracked across the ticket marketplaces from a week out to an hour past kickoff — so the question gets answered with data instead of a hunch.

How the tracking works

For each home game the tracker opens its window seven days before kickoff and steps up the sampling rate as the game gets closer. Each pass records a timestamped price from every marketplace that will answer, straight into a database — nothing is smoothed, estimated or back-filled.

Remaining home games

Five dates left at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Cards go live as each game's tracking window opens.

Price history by game

One chart per home game. Each line is a marketplace's get-in price — the cheapest single ticket on that site — plotted against time before kickoff. Toggle to median price to see the middle of each market rather than its floor.

Read this before comparing lines: the marketplaces bundle fees differently — TickPick is all-in, Beehive includes its flat fee, StubPass and SeatGeek add fees at checkout. The honest comparison is each source's own curve over time, not one site's number against another's. The dashed red line marks kickoff; the green line marks the two-hour mark.

Gameday in Provo

The band, Cosmo, the cheer squad and 63,000 people in navy — the reason a ticket is worth what it is.

Where the prices come from

Four marketplaces answer cleanly today. Two big ones need an API key — here's exactly where each stands.

Live

TickPick

All-in pricing with the lowest get-in for each event, pulled from the event page's structured data. Typically the best apples-to-apples number on the board.

Live

StubPass

TicketNetwork's public catalog — the richest feed here: hundreds of individual listings with section and row for every game.

Live

FareChair

An aggregator that checks several marketplaces and publishes the current low. Useful as a market-wide sanity check.

Live

Beehive Tickets

A Utah fan-to-fan marketplace. Tiny inventory, but occasionally the cheapest seat in the building.

Connected — but no prices

SeatGeek

The API key is live and returns all eight BYU football events — but SeatGeek stopped publishing prices through its public API in July 2026: every event now returns an empty price block. It is still the most precise source for kickoff times, so that is what it drives here rather than a chart line.

Blocked

StubHub & Vivid Seats

Both hard-block automated access, and StubHub's own API is partner-only. If a key ever comes through, the tracker takes it the same way SeatGeek works.

SeatGeek: what the key actually returned

The Client ID works. It found all eight BYU football events on SeatGeek — but the price block came back empty on every one of them, and that turns out to be deliberate: SeatGeek removed pricing from the public API in July 2026. It is now an event API, not a price API.

So it earns its keep a different way. SeatGeek publishes an exact kickoff time and a machine-readable “time is still TBA” flag, which is better than inferring from a placeholder timestamp. That is what now drives the kickoff times on this page — including correctly marking Arizona State, Baylor and Cincinnati as not-yet-scheduled rather than guessing a time for them.

If you want SeatGeek prices back on the charts, there are only two routes, and both are in the panel →

Two ways to get SeatGeek prices

  • Paid scraper API — services like tickets.dev (~$0.05 per capture) or Apify will render the SeatGeek page for you and return listings, sections and fees. At this tracker's cadence that's about 170 captures per game, ~850 for the season, roughly $40–45. Failed captures aren't charged.
  • SeatGeek partner agreement — the pricing data still exists; it's simply moved behind a commercial contract. That means a business conversation, not a form.

My recommendation: keep it as it is. You already have four marketplaces free, and TickPick and StubPass give you both the floor and depth of inventory. Spending ~$45 to add a fifth line would mostly re-confirm a number you can already see. SeatGeek is worth its key purely as the schedule-of-record.
