The week of the sold-out Bruce Springsteen concert in Omaha last month, you could call a local ticket broker and pay $39 for a seat. For Saturday's sold-out Nebraska spring football game, that broker is getting $95 a ticket. "I'm not going to be one to judge the craziness of Nebraska football fans," Ticket Express owner Chad Carr said. [link]
