One of the great things about ticket-resale sites is their real-time, unfettered view of capitalism. No rose-colored windows or hair-sprayed real-estate agents here, just naked supply and demand.

A Tuesday afternoon visit to

, which bills itself as the nation's largest online ticket marketplace, revealed stark differences between the Oregon and Oregon State football programs.

For Oregon State, the highest minimum asking price for a 2011 home game (excluding youth tickets) was $45 for Washington. The lowest was $9 for Arizona. Most prices were

($35-$75).

Season tickets carried a slight premium. They started at $238 for an upper-level sideline seat. The Oregon State ticket office prices the same area at $149.

Asking prices for Oregon's single-game tickets reflected the burgeoning interest in all things Duck. StubHub's lowest price at Autzen Stadium is $40 for lower-division Missouri State -- nearly four times the lowest asking price for a comparable game in Corvallis: Sacramento State ($10).

The highest minimum asking price is $91, not surprisingly for the Civil War.

Season tickets started at $539 for a seat in the end zone -- nearly double Oregon's official price of $273.

Oregon State has the disadvantage of a

, with no Oregon, no USC and no super-sexy nonconference opponent (sorry,

).

Reser Stadium also might lose some curious one-off ticket buyers to CenturyLink Field (formerly known as Qwest) in Seattle, for the Oct. 22 game at which Washington State is the home team. StubHub tickets to that game started at $39, with only 165 available as of Tuesday.

Oregon, on the other hand, has the advantage of hosting the Civil War game, USC and Nevada, coming off a 13-1 season.

But the Ducks also have a larger supply of seats than Oregon State, their

($35-$83, plus fees) and they have seven home games to OSU's six. The bottom line, based on the StubHub numbers: The Ducks are hotter than ever.
