It's the Dual of the Century (of the week) and tickets prices to see #2 Ohio State take on #1 Penn State at Rec Hall in University Park, PA, this Saturday are going for prices not seen for a wrestling match in recent memory. 

The match is long since sold out, and what few tickets that are for sale on the secondary market are going for $200 or more. To see just how precious one of the nearly 7,000 seats in the arena is, we turn to our friends at VividSeats for a full breakdown. 

Not everyone is thrilled about the sold-out event's high ticket prices. Ohio State head coach Tom Ryan has been vocal about his desire to have the dual at the more spacious Bryce Jordan Center, which has a capacity of over 15,000. 

There were mentions of the logistical problems trying to switch arenas presented, especially after the schedules were set long ago. But regardless of technical difficulties, Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson is under no obligation to change venues. One main argument against a change is that a big part of the Nittany Lions wrestling team's season ticket sales pitch was an opportunity to guarantee a seat for this dual in the intimate and fan-friendly Rec Hall. 

A larger supply of tickets would mean a lower price on the secondary market, and that would allow more opportunities for attendees, both visitors from Ohio and locals who perhaps don't have the discretionary funds for a $100 ticket. However, if Rec Hall was the plan from that beginning, there is nothing requiring Penn State deviate from it, however nice the gesture may have been.

In any event, I think we can all agree that it's pretty cool seeing tickets to a wrestling match in such high demand, especially like, way higher than basketball even.
