Razorback football tickets are selling for extremely low prices online.
On StubHub.com, folks are selling tickets to the Arkansas - Kentucky game for as little as $4 each.
The shipping and handling actually costs four times the ticket price, at approximately $17.
Those tickets are for the upper level spots at Razorback Stadium.
Tickets to the homecoming game against Tulsa are also selling for shockingly low prices, at as little as $4.99 a ticket.
Those prices offer proof that the frustrations of some fans this football season are taking a toll.
"I think that's just kind of sad, I have my tickets and we'll be there but if it'll get people in the stands then you know, if a $4 ticket is what it takes to get people there then, you know, I guess that's okay. That's better than empty stands," says one Hog fan.
"We ought to be out there supporting them rather than selling our tickets cheap, selling our tickets and not going to the game," says another fan sticking behind the team.
Another says, "I think it's kind of sad, they're just having a tough year."
But, some fans who might not otherwise be able to watch the Hogs play, think the lower prices aren't all bad.
"The reason why they're selling the tickets so cheap is so a lot of people can come out and support the Razorbacks more often and maybe they'll start winning some games," one fan surmises. "$4 is better than $40 a person," says another.
And a few fans easily admit they've lost interest in attending the games.
"Tailgating yes, games no. Not as important to get into the games," says one.
"When the team's bad they don't want to see them, so people are trying to get rid of their tickets, I guess $4 is all they can get," explains another Hog fan.
