Quick musing on the UAAP Statement re: scalping and ticket overpricing

Here is the UAAP statement released this afternoon on the prevalence of scalping / ticket overpricing

The UAAP denounces the overpricing of tickets to Game Two of the UST-De La Salle championshiop showdown and fans are advised not to deal with scalpers. But fans should also realize Araneta Coliseum’s capacity—not everyone could enter the venue. Our (UAAP) 80 percent ticker allotment were already divided and distributed to UST and De La Salle. Araneta Coliseum holds the remaining 20 percent of the tickets to be sold to the public at their outlets.

In addition, a further breakdown of ticket allocation can be explained like this (h/t to TJ Manotoc, who tweeted this):

20% Araneta Coliseum
20% ABS-CBN (to sponsors)
10% UAAP schools not named UST or DLSU
25% UST
25% DLSU

Hope this sheds light and clarity.
