It's actually not. Is someone really that psyched about CMU? No. But they go on stubhub and snag a ticket for $10. Does SU lose money at the box office? Sure. But guess what, at $30 face value from the BO, chances are that person wouldn't buy those tickets anyway. They are buying on stubhub because it's cheap. If people just ate their tickets, what you would really see isn't an increase at the BO but a decrease in actual bodies on gameday. Most tickets on stubhub come from season ticket holders, who also purchase season parking. The parking isn't usually included with the tickets, so SU essentially gets to double down on the parking for the ticket sold on stubhub. They got money from the STH who bought season parking, and they get money from the random fan who bought his tickets on stubhub. SU also gets absolutely no money in concession sales if nobody goes either. There's alot more to it than BO sales. SU still makes their money off StubHub lurkers.
