when will tickets go on sale? can we print TBA on the tick?

[HerdBot]

The sooner we get these tickets on sale the better

[HoopsBison]

My guess is Monday....how fast are tickets going to go?

[TheBisonator]

It SHOULD be at least close to sold-out, since it's not on Thanksgiving weekend.

[HoopsBison]

It SHOULD be at least close to sold-out, since it's not on Thanksgiving weekend.

All non student tickets will go for sure...Will be interesting to see how student tickets go as the students have to pay for them now. I know the alumni center bought a chunk last year and gave them out in the union. Will see what happens...

[BisonTeacher]

As I posted before...if anyone is not going to use their season tix...let me know if we can work something out. I plan on coming up for the first game.

[TheBisonator]

If the following things happen:

1) We get seeded at least #2
2) We win our first two playoff games

I WILL BE at the semifinal game at the Dome.

Of course, it's asking a lot for #2 to happen.

[Strommer10]

That is the big question and it's hard to speculate. It will definitely better than last year because the students won't be on Thanksgiving break this time. Should be 3/4 full AT LEAST.

[HoopsBison]

Not saying this should happen but since playoff home games are rare thus far at the dome do the Students still get the 4k seat capacity or does that number go down now that he have to pay for them???

[roadwarrior]

I don't think the student section applies for the playoffs.

[HoopsBison]

I don't think the student section applies for the playoffs.

So the students get a said amount of time and once the deadline passes they go to the general public. Also are they going to put the vistor section right next to the student section again???

I don't know that they even get a certain time, I think those would just be general admission, but I'm not sure.

Really? I was almost for certain last year the students had a grace period to get their tickets?? maybe i am wrong

[bkit29]

i dont think there is a student section for playoff games either. if i remember right, thats why the allumni association purchased those tickets for them last year.

[Strommer10]

I don't think the student section applies for the playoffs.
From my memory I remember getting a "student" ticket last year for $7/8. And sat in the student section as it was the same policy as the regular season.

[DjKyRo]

I wouldn't be too surprised if a local business bought some tickets this season for student disbursement. Last year the Alumni Association partnered with Smash Burger and gave away a bunch, and that was with a week's notice that we were even in the playoffs, much less where or when we'd play. Prime opportunity for a few weeks now for a local business to hop on board and market themselves to a bunch of college students.

[HandoEX]

Buffalo Wild Wings did this for the Bison-Whioux basketball game as well. Would be pretty cool if a big Bison supporter did this again.

The only question I have is the timeline. Last year we only had 1 weeks notice but this year we have 2 weeks to sell the game out. Also student tickets will probably have to revert back to the old school way of buying an actual ticket.

[HerdBot]

SELL. OUT. Period, end of story.

If we got 12K last year on the worst weekend of the year with no students and only a week notice. I would imagine we will see a minimum of 15K or a sellout with 2 weeks to get ready. The general public is pumped up about this team right now.

Good point. I just hope they don't extend the season ticket "renewal" deadline too far out. Last year we were able to significantly upgrade our season tickets from 20yrd line nosebleeds to 40 yrd line row 10 or so. We'll try to do the same this year, but we can't do it until the season ticket renewal deadline passes.

[SDbison]

Also, to tailgaters: Remember that you have to rebuy your spot for every playoff game. You need to call the AD administration office by noon on Saturday or they become available to the general public. $15/spot. I don't agree with the policy requiring the purchase of reserved spots for playoff tailgating. The season reserved spots should holdover for the postseason and then only pay $3 when parking. This time we have 2 weeks to prepare, but then might have to do it every week for 2 weeks in a row. Turning around all the transactions in that time is ridiculous. Also many of us purchase as tailgating groups with many spots in one common area. Lots to coordinate between those in the group. Maybe this one time $15 should secure the reserved spot for the entire postseason however number of games.......or maybe make it $20 one time for postseason and call it good. Why does it always have to be a moneymaker?

When I ordered, I used the choose your own seat option rather than letting the computer choose for me, and there were very few available. Pretty much everything between the 20's was grayed out except the last two rows...Not doubting you, but would there be some reason other than season tix holders that some might have been "blocked out" for me to choose from, but are actually available?

Two reasons. First, the seat count system seems to lag behind the actual numbers. I wonder if it only updates every 15 min or something. Second, if a person clicks a bunch of seats and puts them in their "shopping cart", those seats won't appear to other users for up to 8 minutes even if the original user doesn't purchase them. I ended up with tickets that had been grayed out for a while, but popped back up when they timed out of someone's cart.

I'm going to update my numbers later tonight when all the activity has died down. Those numbers should be more accurate.

Just remember that all season ticket holders get a chance at their seats first. Last year I waited until they had their chance and I got a block of 10 on the 50 yard line. Don't get overly excited about the lack of tickets available until the season ticket holders decide or the corporate seats actually go back to being sold.

No, because the unused tickets from season ticket holders haven't been added back into the mix.

[Gully]

Thanks Hammer. I would think all the non-student and season ticket sidelines would be gone sometime Monday or Tuesday. Really need the students to step up and buy their tickets, having their section packed would make for one loud playoff game.

[stevdock]

11,000 have the CHANCE to be spoken for. All season ticket holders have until Saturday to decide if they are going to reserve them for the next game. Next Monday at 8 am the public will be able to buy those tickets that weren't reserved. Last year I got a group of 10 on the 50 yard line, so there will be very good seats available come Monday morning.

Right now, the tickets available for purchase include everything but the student section and all the season tickets. Because of the way they set up the ticketing software this time, you can actually see how many general admission tickets are remaining. I'm also assuming none of the regular 300 SRO tickets have been sold(safe bet).

Let's do it this way:

all 3,800 student tickets + all season tickets + all tickets purchased since noon + 2,455 tickets still up for grabs = approx 19,200

The 2,455 will continue to drop until next Monday when a bunch of unwanted season tickets will be added. Then it will drop again until Thursday or Friday when the unused student tickets will be added. I'm guessing about that last part, but I bet it will happen because the student tickets for the playoffs are not covered by the activity fee. If there are a bunch of unclaimed student tickets and significant demand from the general public, I bet this is the game where we start selling student tickets as GA. Just a guess, though. If we aren't selling out, however, I doubt it will come up.


edit: Obviously, it took me way too long to post this. I like Tatanka's first response the best. Of course, he does have the most practice with grade schoolers.

I made my call to the ticket office at 8:45 on Monday to reserve my season tickets for the first game. He said that place was "crazy" at that time.

[HandoEX]

The first six times I called, I got nothing but a busy signal. The seventh time I got an automated answer aand was on hold for about ten minutes. It would be nice if the online system wasn't such a POS. It will never read my card, and it won't let me re-register as is says I can't use the same credit card number on multiple accounts. Just glad I got to re-new our tickets though!

[Hammersmith]

I've got over an hour of down time at work today, so I updated my numbers at 10:30 and 10:45. In those 15 minutes, almost 150 tickets were sold.

I've got over an hour of down time at work today, so I updated my numbers at 10:30 and 10:45. In those 15 minutes, almost 150 tickets were sold. I expect they will start selling SRO tickets by the end of the day. My next update will be at noon to see how many tickets were left after 24 hours of sales.

Anyway to see how many season ticket holders have not bought theirs yet?

[Hammersmith]

Anyway to see how many season ticket holders have not bought theirs yet?
Not until next Monday. I'm going to try and be ready at 8am that morning to see how far the number jumps back up. And I was wrong about my earlier number. It was 50 tickets in 15min, not 150. My calculator ignored a button press.

[Hammersmith]

You are Lakes's father.
I'd like to respond to that, but I can't type those sorts of words in a school building.

[THEsocalledfan]

Call me crazy, but if I was buying tickets (which I am not becaue of work travel), I'd wait until next Monday morning to snatch up the great tickets. Honestly, I felt NDSU should have had a shorter leash on that time period to claim tickets to give more time for the rest of the sales.

I hope this baby sells out or I very well may cry.

[GRAFTONBISON]

Troy Gorgeon just said on the Jack Michaels show that the game time should be announced upon approval from the NCAA later today. He said it will most likely be an afternoon game.

Ryan Perrault tweeted that there was a line about 30-deep at the BSA this noon.

at least 30 but there were only a few windows open but the lines were moving pretty quick. I spent only about 20 or 25 minutes in line. Seemed like a lot longer when the guy I was standing next to was not a very good conversation. :):):) Just kidding Burgundy.

[roadwarrior]

I don't think there is a doubt that the dome will be full. Next monday at 8am will be a mad scramble.

[Strommer10]

I tried to get my ticket before my class at 1pm and there was still a line. Then went back at 3pm and there was one window open but people still coming in and out. I expect that to continue. Also next monday will be crazy when un-used season tickets are released.

[HerdBot]

Less than 1000 tickets left. No clue on student tickets but I would imagine they are going slow as always. I assume at least 75% of the season ticket holders pick up their seats. I wonder how long before student tickets are sold?

I only jumped in at Page 10; did someone post how student tickets will work? They have until Monday, too, before they are sold to anyone who wants them? (That would seem logical to me as they are basically "season ticket holders" and they have to pay, too, for these.)

I was over there around 3:30 and it was just as you describe it. Bit of a line, good number of students from what I saw.

They can continue to pick them up until at least next Friday. Unknown what will happen if there are still student tickets left at that point.


NDSU STUDENT TICKETS: Student tickets can be purchased at the Bison Ticket Office during regular office hours or at the Memorial Union Monday, Nov. 21-Wednesday, Nov. 23 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. and Monday, Nov. 28-Friday, Dec. 2 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

[Tatanka]

Ticket office personnel are busting their ass today. If you go, take a second or two and tell them thank you.

[THEsocalledfan]

They can continue to pick them up until next Friday at 1pm. Unknown what will happen if there are still student tickets left at that point.

So, actually a chance they would NOT be sold? Or, are you simply saying you have no firm data to comment on?

From the ticket info link, it says students have this week and next week to pick their tickets up in either the BSA or the Union.

[Hammersmith]

The latter. I suspect they would be sold as GA, but that's just a guess.

I don't see any thing that says they will be sold to the public. I hope that us students do our part. I've been trying to get everyone I've talked to to get their ticket. So far everyone who I've talked to has or will get one.

[GRAFTONBISON]

Haven't heard anything since I posted what Troy had mentioned.

[roadwarrior]

I would think that the 3800 seat student allotment doesn't apply to playoff games since the activity fee money the athletic department receives from the students doesn't pay for the playoff game tickets. I think every seat will be sold by early next week.

[THEsocalledfan]

I don't see any thing that says they will be sold to the public. I hope that us students do our part. I've been trying to get everyone I've talked to to get their ticket. So far everyone who I've talked to has or will get one.

How much are they charging students? Full $25? Or do you get a discount?

[Hammersmith]

How much are they charging students? Full $25? Or do you get a discount?
Five bucks.

[wooshkah]

I paid $8 last year for a student ticket and was fine with it. However, I think $5 is much easier for a typical student to cough up.

[Strommer10]

I paid $8 last year for a student ticket and was fine with it. However, I think $5 is much easier for a typical student to cough up.
Agreed. Even if a student doesn't have a job, they can find $5 somewhere. It's not much of an excuse.

[BisonTeacher]

When I was in college (we got into the games free) so I used to save my last five bucks for a pack of smokes and a heat lamp dog from the mini mart next to the Turf. :hungry:

You might get lucky and not only get seats on monday but get GOOD seats on Monday. If it were me, however, I'd be buying seats now. It appears they're going very quickly. There could be riots in the streats of Fargo Monday morning if people can't get tickets :)

we dont need no riot. thanks for info.

[Hammersmith]

One last update for the night includes a more precise SRO number. Apparently they sell up to 400 tickets and not the 300 that was reported in the Forum before homecoming. I'm thinking they've even sold a few(11?); heaven knows why. Hoping for < 1000 by morning.

Question about the GA. I bought 4 tickets last night for friends in GA9. The seating assignment says GA. Then, today I bought 3 more for friends who didn't decide until today. When I checked my order history, it gives seat numbers...

http://vvcap.net/db/4vTk0gUDgMKT7-DH2n3q.png

So, does anyone have any idea if the group will be able to sit together or if they will have to sit in the assigned seats?

EDIT: I am assuming it is just for their own sake, and the seating requirements aren't going to be enforced...I just want to make sure...

My suspicion: The seat numbers are there so that the computer can keep track of how many are left. This is done for all games that have GA seating. Normally, an option is selected during setup to hide those seat labels from the user, but it was forgotten this time. Like Tatanka said, just ignore it and sit where you want in any of the GA sections.

I hear ya...I would get now. Everyone seems to think that there will be tons of great seats left behind by corps/season ticket holders. I am of the belief last year was fool's gold. It was Thanksgiving week and decisions needed to be made quickly by many people who are not as passionate about the squad as most on BV. I am sure there will be some great seats available on Monday, I just don't think as many as people think IMHO.

I firmly disagree with this assessment. I think a lot of corporate seats will get dumped and the advantage of waiting is huge. Further, if you strike out on Monday, even in a worst case scenario, there will always be people selling tickets selling somewhere. (Here, ebay, in the West lot, etc.)

Any info on how fast students are commiting to tickets?

Might be slow this week with the holiday...if it is slow, hopefully next week will be better when they are back from break. Hopefully any unused tickets can be sold before game time so there aren't any blue seats in the dome - I dont want to be seeing the dreaded blue seats on ESPN3.

That brings up a solid point....Gabe has done an excellent job convincing me that stateside NBC is good even though I can't see it. Is it even possible for them to buy rights to the feed to put on broadcast TV? Heck, if NDSU is not in control, I would even think WDAY and the ABC stations may go after it like the old days with UND games.....

There were a lot of students picking up tickets at the BSA when I was there yesterday. And they can pick them up at the Union also.

[THEsocalledfan]

Wow, that is hard core for an non-broadcast station. I could understand this more if ESPN or ESPN2.

Folks, if you don't have an XBOX, trust me, this is the way to go for ESPN 3 if you can't be there.

[EmeraldCityBison]

Speaking as someone outside of ND and the broadcast area, I prefer the games on ESPN3. The production is much better than gobison.... I mean there actually is production. I'm a Comcast subscriber and stream the game onto my 55-inch. Works great.

I am speaking in conjunction with a over the air broadcast and the same HD broadcast could be put on NBC HD channels, no doubt. (Or perhaps NBC channels in ND don't even show network shows in HD????)

Emerald, the picture quality is better through the XBOX and is true high def......

[Gully]

I enjoy the ESPN3 games on my flat screen as well but there is a significant portion of the population who isn't going to watch a game via computer or Xbox even if they have the right cable provider. Seems like the NCAA would want more exposure, how much will ESPN3 really suffer if the game is on WDAY in ND?

Just called in and ordered my two tickets in lower section 21. Had to wait a few minutes for someone to take my order. Sounds like they are very busy at the ticket office!

[northendzone]

good news they are busy! Last night I re-read the Battlewagon to Bozeman thread, that should be published into a book! My nephew and I road out last year in the snowstorm/blizzard - it was awesome!

He was so nervous for the game - he threw up in the lobby of the hotel while talking to Pike's mom - no alcohol involved - way to young...

We are going to try to create some great memories for this and hopefully many to come home playoff games...

[Bison03]

Just got my tickets at the BSA. There were like 10 people always in line the whole time I was there. I asked the guy at the booth if a lot of season ticket holders have got their tickets yet and he said a lot have and the phone has been busy non stop all day. This is a good sign especially for a game 11 days away still. If we can get over 18,000 loud crazy fans to this game, it might be the greatest football atmosphere the dome has ever seen.

So what's with this archaic BS for buying tickets for the playoffs and such? I should be able in one action tell the ticket office to let me purchase a ticket for all possible games and any needed refund be put toward my season tickets for next year. Is there some NCAA bylaw against this?

Same thing goes with Tailgate passes...why should I have to drive up to the damn BSA every week we win?

I hate going up there during the week. What should have taken 5 minutes took 2 hours of being on campus...damn college girls.

"Unlike past years, ASU students will be admitted to all postseason games at Kidd Brewer Stadium for FREE. Appalachian athletics will cover the costs to allow all ASU students to attend by simply presenting their student ID at the gate on gameday, just like the regular season.

Sure would be nice if NDSU would do this also. A deep playoff run would easily pay for this every single week.

[NorthernBison]

I tried to find out how many GA tickets were left, but the scroll map wasn't working. All sideline and end zone reserveds are sold out.

Yes and no. For now, there are, apparently, no more sideline reserved seats available. That is almost certain to change on Monday morning.

[THEsocalledfan]

Yes and no. For now, there are, apparently, no more sideline reserved seats available. That is almost certain to change on Monday morning.

It will be interesting to see how many seats open up. Honestly, last year with Rober Morris, it was f'ing awesome. I got premo seats by waiting until those tickets released. I could not believe how good my seats were. (I think I was on like the 20 in row 4 on the SouthEast side.) But, it was a Holiday weekend.....

[Tatanka]

There are exactly 0 (zero) tickets remaining at this time. All non-student, non-season ticket holder tickets are spoken for.

Monday at 8am will be an epic scramble for whatever tickets remain.

No clue how student ticket sales are going--hopefully they're going well. There's lots of buzz around the game and I have to think most season ticket holders are grabbing their seats. There will be seats available on Monday (interesting to see how many), and probably again later in the week when unused visitor seats are returned... don't know how well either team would travel to Fargo (JMU, 300 or 400 maybe, EKU, just don't see it breaking 200... would love to be wrong).

Doesn't look like the athletic dept didn't give themselves much wiggle room to sell the unused student tickets--student tickets must be claimed by next Friday.

Would be nice to get updates from the athletic department on how sales are going... hint, hint.

ALSO, those that have already reserved their tickets online or via phone, it would be a great idea to go pick up your tickets at will call at the BSA this week... this will avoid the inevitable will call mad rush on game day at the dome...

[NorthernBison]

Just picked my tickets up at the BSA. Now, on to New York Mills. Hope to sneak away from the In-Laws tomorrow night to watch some Basketball. My Son would love to see a game. Hopefully it can be accomplished without an argument.

[Tatanka]

Picked up some tickets over the noon hour. Steady activity while I was there, both in the ticket window and on the phone/back office. This has to be a pretty positive sign.

Interested to find out. We know there are 9,000 season ticket holders and 4,000 student tickets. That means we've sold over 5,000 so far. I would imagine 3/4 will claim their seats or low est 6,000 so were probably at Robert Morris levels right now and that's assuming we've sold zero student tickets. This game should be an easy sellout once people realize its not on TV.

I wonder how the extra week of time helps the ticket situation? If win the ticket office is going to be busy

[Tatanka]

Monday is going to be a gong show at the BSA ticket office. And Tuesday. By Wednesday I would hope that everything is sold out.

There is no reason to disclose how many season ticket holders have purchased. They have until Noon tomorrow to get it done. If you are waiting to buy unsold tickets you need to be online ASAP on Monday. the current method gives the highest incentive to buy early vs waiting. If you waited and end up without a ticket, that's the risk you take.

Oh, I have our tickets...i just plan on upgrading.

[DjKyRo]

My source is uncertain of student tickets #'s gone just yet. I'll post on here as soon as I hear.

I would be shocked if its more than a thousand

[HerdBot]

They released additional general admission seats not sure where they are the map doesn't work

Probably some of the student sections.

[devin45k]

I was wondering if they had a signup list or something for the game after just in case NDSU wins the 3rd. I will be in Fargo and want to go to the game on the 10th.

[roadwarrior]

I'm guessing tickets for the game on the 10th will go on sale ASAP after a victory on the 3rd.

Would I be able to order online? or is it a phone call kind of thing?

This is all hypothetical

[HerdBot]

I hope so. From a sales perspective, you never want to turn down people who want to buy and if it's obvious the student tickets aren't going to sell out, might as well sell them asap.

Tickets for any further playoff games would be handled just like this first game was, except the timeline is condensed into a single week.

[SDbison]

What is NDSU charging for student tickets for the playof games? Is that amount typical of othe FCS or FBS schools? Even if only $10 each how much will this reduce student attendance and why? If 4000 students can show up for Homecoming, where is the school pride to pay $10 and cheer your team on in the playoffs. No reason 25% of the student body (1 out of every 4) can't do this.

[4mcruenomore]

I need 2 more tickets fyi for a friend of mine if anybody has extra come this week.

I think students only have to pay $5 which is easily affordable even for a poor college student

If I improve my seats that I already I bought last Sunday...i will have two.

[Tatanka]

T-50 minutes until ticket office meltdown. I'll be interested to see how many tickets are available this morning...

Zero... I will buy the all. (insert evil laugh here)

[roadwarrior]

Tickets are now on sale! They don't have the counters by section going, so no way to tell how many there are. But there are some in section 1!

[HooliganBison]

Better section to sit in Sec 20 or 33?

[RadBison]

I had 2 in section 18 and section 3. Then it errored out and now I'm having no luck getting back in. :(

[HandoEX]

Big surprise, the site isn't working.

Edit: it's working, but is taking forever.

[HooliganBison]

I didn't buy the all but I got 8.

[Hammerhead]

I logged in just to see what is available and it took a couple of minutes to find tickets. Searching for 2 sideline tickets found 2 up in row DD of section 17.

[RadBison]

Got em, Sec 2, I'll take it.

[4mcruenomore]

Again, that website sucks.

[RadBison]

Patience. I had better luck when I closed my 2nd browser.

[4mcruenomore]

I didn't even know there was a section 30, or was it 31? Crappy

[roadwarrior]

There are 34 sections.

[No_Skill]

I tried to upgrade or seats with no luck. I war dialed in for about 30 before I finally got placed in the hold queue for about 20 minutes. She said there were no better seats available and we are in 21 cc.

They are going fast.

Sideline reserved gone. First time I went in at 8:22 was offered section 4 row EE went back in now...nothing left.

[BisonTeacher]

What happened to the online option of being able to click on a section to see what is available? It doesnt seem to be working today.

[Hammerhead]

I was able to pull up 2 tickets in section 21, row FF.

Some are showing up now...but pretty high up. I was trying to improve my seats. So I guess I will stay with my current ones.

[Bison03]

The site is not crappy, it is just slowed because of high volume of users. This is a good sign. It will be interesting to see how many tickets are left after today. I would not be shocked to see this thing sold out by tomorrow.

[BadlandsBison]

Any word on student tickets?

[Tatanka]

Any word on student tickets?

Facebook message yesterday indicated student tix still available selling at bsa and mem union.

[SDbison]

Facebook message yesterday indicated student tix still available selling at bsa and mem union. At $5 each all the student tickets should be gone by now. WTF is the problem with NDSU students? All that is needed is just slightly over 1 in 4 students to make the decision to support their team in the playoffs and all 4000 students seats would be sold. Is this that difficult?

[Tatanka]

Singles only in sideline reserved. Still pairs available in endzone reserved but those are north side row Q. Looks like several GA tickets still remain - I was able to reserve 25 with no hassle.

Expect more reserved tickets to become available later this week when JMU releases unused visitor seats. These should be prime seats on the west side right behind the JMU bench--NCAA regs require the home team to provide those seats to the visitors IIRC.

Again, I would expect more reserved tickets to become available. JMU will NOT be travelling to Fargo in force.

[Bison03]

As of Monday 10:20 am the best available for a single ticket was sideline reserved- section 19 row AA and endzone reserved- section 9 row K. Best available for a pair together resulted in - Not able to fulfill request. I am guessing they are hanging onto the students tickets a couple of days in hopes that they will fill up the student section with students first.

Should have given students until this morning to get their tickets. Why wait for the apathetic ones to decide there is nothing better for them to do.

Typical College mentality. My cousin is a student and when I asked him last week if he was going his answer was, "But $5 is 1/3 the cost of a case of beer" so needless to say he's not going. He did offer to come over and "help me tailgate" as if I'll let him know my plans. Lame. :confused:

Do you know what day and time for this?

[Tatanka]

Don't know exactly when, no. Hasn't been on any release that I've seen.

Complete guess: Friday. Stay tuned though. It will be made known to the public when it happens.

[Hammerhead]

The best single tickets in the sideline section is now in the corners 3 rows from the top so it's practically sold out!!!

That's absolutely pathetic. You have 3 possible days that NDSU will be hosting a playoff game and the rest of your school year to drink beer. Take that into prospective and get your dam student tickets! Heck I'm sure they can go to tailgating somewhere and get a couple free beers from someone to make it worth it. I have no respect for that excuse. I have a couple of friends that don't have a job and have LITERALLY no money and are scrabbling to get some for tickets. THAT is the only excuse that I can understand.

Ok rant done.. carry on.

[Hammersmith]

Sorry I stopped providing updates, but I didn't have internet access over Thanksgiving, and they stopped allowing access to seat tallies per section. I'm as much in the dark as the rest of you.

As of 12:30: Sidelines are sold out. Still some singles in end zone reserved.

I could still get sideline singles just now. Likely a result of people checking seat availability and then canceling the reservation.

Must have been. Now a bunch more tickets have been released. I think it might be some of the visitor allotment, because you can get at least 10 together in section 23.

Yep...Row R seems to be what keeps showing up for me.

[4mcruenomore]

I see on FB that WaGriz has sold 16,500 tickets as of 11 am today.

[johnson]

I just checked the website before I came here and there are in row S now of sec. 23.

[northendzone]

It's Done - North End Zone reserved is now sold out. It would be nice to get a sense of how many student tickets and GA are remaining........... anyone?

Yup...still some in Row R. WTF? Don't they know I'm in that section? :biggrin:
