Travel to Frisco

[coloradobison]

I'll be buying my ticket to Frisco before the weekend is out. Figure out the particulars from there out of Dallas.

Here we come!!!!

[onbison09]

You're going to fly into Dallas. Either DFW or Love Field should be fine! Goddamn this is awesome!

[THEsocalledfan]

Tscf will be there with kids in tow. Lucky kids......

[TheBisonator]

Any group travelling down there (if you have a Battlewagon), PM me. I'll buy my game ticket online and chip in for gas if needed.

[coloradobison]

I'm heading down from Denver to Dallas. Unless someone wants to get crazy and drive down Friday, I'm flying.

[TheBisonator]

Me too, if you are swinging by the cities. I cant fly but in for a road trip!!!

I'm in the Cities. Are you part of a group going down?? PM me if you know anything.

[TheBisonator]

I flew into Mpls. last night. I'm here till the 9th of January.

[THEsocalledfan]

Some of you guys thinking about driving:

Flying to Dallas from MSP can be pretty chep over a weekend. May not be more than the gas money you would pay.

Its not about the money....I dont like flying. let's just leave it at that.

[Wally]

Google 3rd base bar and grill in frisco. Yeah baby!

[THEsocalledfan]

FYI for you Fargo folks. My mom said Delta tickets expensive in Fargo, but we have American in Sioux Falls so only $366 on either Delta or American. Keep that in mind if you don't find anything better in MSP.

[56BISON73]

There is a Cheese Cake Factory in Frisco!!!!!!!

[squarepeg]

Why did they move this game from Friday night to Saturday at noon? I guess it allows a little more travel time but still.

[BamaBison]

Bison Home Game at cotton bowl?

[NDSUFan_Sav]

Was gonna go, the tickets are all sold out now and the resellers are asking to much kaching.

[THEsocalledfan]

Waiting for the NDSU allotment. I have a teamaker friend I think who can help me out.

[daddy daycare]

Friday to Monday flights from Bismarck to Dallas through MSP were about $550.

If you ever never ate at a Three Forks before, google it, check out the menu and find some time to get there and eat. Mouth watering beef.

[BisonBabe]

We will be driving down...since we are taking the kids with as well flying is not an option. We will leave here on Thursday after work and get to about Sioux City IA then on to Frisco on Friday morning. Have our tickets & hotel already set up....gonna be a great trip.

[daddy daycare]

IF....we are lucky enough to get tickets on Gobison today, will we know right away or is it just a request and we won't know for a few days?

[roadwarrior]

IF....we are lucky enough to get tickets on Gobison today, will we know right away or is it just a request and we won't know for a few days?

I am pretty sure your request goes on a list. Then they distribute the tickets based on your priority points standing after the deadline. They used the same method for the Gopher game this year.

[bisonmike2]

I am pretty sure your request goes on a list. Then they distribute the tickets based on your priority points standing after the deadline.

Where are you on that list, Roads? 1? Do they even have to ask you if your going or do they just automatically send you tickets? :)

[EmeraldCityBison]

I am pretty sure your request goes on a list. Then they distribute the tickets based on your priority points standing after the deadline. They used the same method for the Gopher game this year.


Anyone know the maximum number of tickets per request? What was the maximum number of tickets per request for the Gopher game?

[bri-dog]

I'm waiting for my brother to decide if they're taking the bus or flying. If they're driving, I'm gonna try to meet them somewhere in Kansas.

If they're driving and if they have room, anyone in Denver is welcome to ride with...

[BigBison]

Any Team Makers on here that would be able to get me tickets? I need 3.

This again..PM if interested. Wife and I would appreciate it. We got some tickets through stubhub in the endzone. Would love to be with the Bison fans instead. Thanks

[Gully]

Does anyone know how many tickets NDSU gets? I think I heard 4,000 somewhere, but that may have been someone speculating.

That won't be enough :smh:

[BisoninNWMN]

Has anyone gone on gobison to try and get on the list?

I haven't had any success yet....

[Bisondan]

I was able to log on and get on the list.

Find out 8 AM on Friday about the results.

GO BISON

GO BISON


How?

must be doing something wrong

[BisoninNWMN]

Got it!!!!!!

[BigBison]

How does the wait list work? Do they charged your credit card first and refund it later if you don't get one?

[onbison09]

I got on and am on the list I guess. Did it charge anyone else's credit card though? I assume I'm getting a refund if I'm not getting the tickets.

[Bisondan]

How?

must be doing something wrong

Went to gobison.com, under the "ticket" tag, I clicked purchase tickets, then chose FCS Championship game, then just clicked "purchase tickets".

[Bisondan]

I believe they charge the credit card and then refund if not successful

[CAS4127]

I already have tickets, but I can get on list and get more I think. If anyone wants me to try to get some, PM me.

[bisonhp330]

Pre-order your tickets below for the FCS Championship Game. Order fulfillment and seat location will be determined by priority points. Payment must be entered when submitting your request but will not be processed until your order is filled. You will be notified via email by 8:00 a.m. Friday, December 23rd on the status of your order.

could ask up to 25 tickets

[BigBison]

There is a designated student section for the Bison, section 114!!!! COME ON STUDENTS GET THOSE TICKETS!!!

[Bison_since_Birth]

I am a student and have all ready bought a ticket now i just need a ride

[NDSUBowler]

There is a designated student section for the Bison, section 114!!!! COME ON STUDENTS GET THOSE TICKETS!!!
Where do you see that?

EDIT: Also...what determines 'priority points'?

Double edit: I see the student thing now...

[56BISON73]

Does anyone know how many tickets NDSU gets? I think I heard 4,000 somewhere, but that may have been someone

speculating.

I talked to the ticket office before I went to the wrestling match. 4,000 is what they told me. I was told this by the assistant ticket manager.

[bisonnation1]

I am a student as well and bought 10 tickets at 1245. I just dont know if we have the tickets for sure yet. So wondering if any students have gotten any confirmation that they will actually get the tickets?

[Bison bison]

I take 4,000 as the total allotment. That's not very many especially if tickets are saved for family and friends of players, staff, and 'Friends of the Program'.

[A1pigskin]

Has the Alum put anything together yet?

[Strommer10]

Does anyone know if the student section will be just GA or reserved seats? We got our confirmation and it just says the section 114 on it. I know we have time, but it'd be nice to know.

[CarringtonBison]

I would certainly hope that people would not randomly just get 15-25 tickets and spread them out around friends. There are people out there depending on this lottery to get these tickets and may not get them if people with higher priority suck em all up. Not really all that fair to the people teetering on the bubble who want to attend the game.

And before you go off on me, I am high enough on the priority list that I will get seats. I am asking, just be considerate of others who will want to get to this game and have season tickets or have did something to have at least some priority points

[NDSUBowler]

The student tickets...are they ONLY allowed for students?

I think I may be going down with a few students and we were wondering if they should try and get tickets out of the student section or if I can sit with them in their section.

Also...do students get first priority for the student section or are those based off priority points as well?

How high do you think one needs to be on the list to have a good shot at getting tickets? I'm in the low 800s. Not sure if that will be good enough. People are doing exactly what you suggested above. Even if the average person only gets 6 tickets it won't make it down to me on the list. I'm trying to decide if I should bite the bullet and go ahead and buy two online in case I don't get some from NDSU.

[Bison bison]

You guys should do what I did.

For a $3 million dollar donation I moved from my previous spot to #1.



How many tickets does NDSU have to allocated? 4,000.

My guess is that this number includes tickets for family and friends. That moves the number down to 2,500.

If the top 100 people by points buy 25 tickets they are GONE. Obviously that is an extreme, but many of the big givers are business who might find it worthwhile to buy 25 tickets and give them to employees and customers. If so BOOM. Game over. Poor NDSU fans then have to compete on StubHub with Bearkat fans who don't have to fork over $500+ for travel.

As I've stated before, I think NDSU screwed up by not limiting the number of tickets more.

At the same time, NDSU fans got screwed by playing the Saturday game giving SHSU fans to buy up all the NCAA.com ticks (which I actually think were bought up by a big time scalper who's slowing selling them on StubHub. He also bought up all of the City of Frisco tickets.)

[TheBisonator]

My father and I are driving down there the morning of Jan. 6. We're staying in tornado-damaged Joplin, MO. (I checked the path of destruction, the path is very narrow. Downtown and all the commercial strips in the north of town and by the interstate were spared from it.)

[Strommer10]

I just reserved two more student tickets for people. Looking to be 10+ in my group.

[Herd Mentality]

Before everyone starts a panic....

My priority number is well over 1000. I got my full requested number of tickets for the gopher game, so don't paint too bleak of a picture on ticket availability.

[Gully]

I was thinking the same thing.....but it seems like EVERYONE I've talked to is going so I'm nervous.

Here is a quote from SHSU's website.

"Sam Houston State's 2,000-plus allotment of NCAA Championship football game tickets for the general public has sold out".

If 4,000 alloted only means "2,000-plus" for the "general public" because of friends and family of the program getting first dibs then I'm really nervous.

[Bison bison]

No. the other 2,000 are going to season ticket holders. either 4 tickets per holder or the number the bought for the regular season. THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE THAN UP TO 25!?!

[NDSUstudent]

It's BS that in a 21k seat stadium that each school only gets 4k seats.

I am in the low 900s and I got six for the Gopher game as well. I am not overly concerned. There will be a lot that will not buy tickets and a lot that have already purchased them on their own. If I don't get them, I will go stubhub. I am concerned though, if everyone buys 20-25. At that pace, a lot of people will be shafted!

I will do what it takes to get tickets to the game (except what TAB proposes-gross). However, I want to sit amongst the Bison faithful with my family.

[scbison91]

Got my tickets on stub hub, today more expensive but I know I got them.. Also, used points for airline tickets and booked rooms in Lewisville, TX using marriot points so this is going to be fairly cheap weekend.. My dad from Dicksinson, brother from Denver and brother from MSP will join me for the championship weekend.

Lewisville can be kinda far depending on where you're at. (just FYI)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I guarantee that a bunch of businesses and NCAA suits will get tickets and decide not to go. However, they may put them on Stubhub.

[Herd Mentality]

How many points to past letterwinner's get? Trying to convince an ex-player (in another sport) to just go ahead and join because of the priority point system for getting tickets.

100 points

[Herd Mentality]

100 points

Thanks, road.

[scbison91]

Most Hotels are on 35E pretty close SH121...With tollway finished it is pretty quick trip especially on Saturday with not much traffic..

[scbison91]

Lewisville can be kinda far depending on where you're at. (just FYI)

Just checked miles from Hotel to stadium, 16 miles. On Saturday that is less than 15 minute drive

[Vitojr130]

100 points

Ugh, I have zero priority points and my friends and I have already booked a hotel in Dallas. What are the odds that we will get 4 tickets?

[CAS4127]

You will get tickets!!

[EmeraldCityBison]

I'm assuming there will be some kind of Alumni Association or Team Makers event on Friday night. Might want to plan travel accordingly.

[56BISON73]

I just put in my order. I will have extras. Those who need tix send me a pm and I will put you on my list.

[scbison91]

I'm assuming there will be some kind of Alumni Association or Team Makers event on Friday night. Might want to plan travel accordingly. According to alumni website, they are planning something but are waiting to confer with the NCAA and their schedule before finalizing plans

[Vitojr130]

You will get tickets!!

Ahha CAS has spoken! I shall see pizza hut park with my own two eyes!! Go Bison!

[onbison09]

Just checked miles from Hotel to stadium, 16 miles. On Saturday that is less than 15 minute drive

If it's close to the tollway, you'll be fine

[Mr. Burgundy]

I am fortunate that I will get tickets, but has anyone else complained that allowing people to get/take 25 tickets seems a bit much? If a wealthy booster has two season tickets, he can buy 25 and take care of all of his buddies that suddenly want to go to the biggest game in our D1 history?

My personal opinion is that you should be able to buy 2 times the # of season tickets that you have. Just my feeling. Again, I will get in but I feel bad that this is suddenly the top 2% of teammakers based on points will get their request granted. I have heard alot of stories today about how people are piling in groups and getting their requests. So, PL is going to just buy a ton....and help our random people he doesn't know on Bisonville, thus knocking off others that are top 2% people based on priority points for what they have done over their lifetime in Bison athletics.

If nothing else, this probably brings up a discussion. Regardless, Sam Houston is going to have more fans there because of this gong show, and we better damn well make it feel like a Bison HOME GAME.

[Herd Mentality]

Totally agree, hard to believe they capped the gopher game at 10 but this is 25.

[17>1]

I'm trying to remain patient and optimistic about tickets being available later this week. It's tough, but I think after Friday, many of us will know a lot more about where we stand. Dad and I are planning on driving a van down. Leaving Thursday night at Midnight and returning Sunday night at Midnight. Got about 5 people in the vehicle and could possibly add a few more, to help with gas costs. I'll have more info as soon as we have finalized plans. I'd really hate to miss this, but if it isn't meant to be, then so be it. GO BISON!!!

[tjbison]

I bought my tickets after Lehigh, rolled the dice, got hotels etc, used miles for the travel and am all set might even have some spares. I will sell them on here for face value but with 3 weeks left till game time Im holding on to them till I know for sure my friends are covered.

I agree the way the ticket situation is handled is stupid...I as a Season ticket holder for the past 10 years should be able to get atleast a couple of the NDSU tickets but i just figured the hell with it.

See you in Frisco...................I still think this will not sell out due to the corporate tickets etc.......

[Herd Mentality]

I've been a season ticket holder for 10 years as well. Any past athlete who isn't a teammaker already could jump me in priority for a $100 donation. I was a little shocked by that (more so on how much they would jump ahead of me).

[THEsocalledfan]

Flights went up from even this afternoon.....does look like Delta is not flying a "real" Delta flight from MSP to DFW on Jan 6, but that will sell out too.....

Anybody try flying into DAL (Love Field)?

[THEsocalledfan]

I just burned 100,000 miles for flights to DFW with 2 connections with no tickets in hand. I am hoping to get tickets through a teammaker friend who is in the top 2%. Am I dumb? Flights kept going up in price even from Sioux Falls!

[THEsocalledfan]

Isn't that only SW? If so, you'd have to go from MSP or Omaha.

From MSP too....get the flights lined up and they go up like $300 in 30 minutes when ready to check out

[G_Funky]

Flying American out of Sioux Falls. Locked in my price yesterday without completely committing as a couple things were still in the air. Good thing I did so, looks like tickets doubled/tripled over the last 24 hours. Booked mine at about 400 a piece direct from Sioux Falls to Dallas/Fort Worth. Anyone else taking a 12:15 flight out of Sioux Falls on Friday?

[SlickVic]

Burgandy just found out hes not a 2 percenter? Lol...I've over paid for tickets before ill over pay again not too worried about it...me and my buddy the oil man are taking that week and turning it into a mini golf vacation in the great state of Texas...Prolly try n party in tulsa Thursday night after the hoops game...but for all you fools crying about different things I have a few words for you its just like my uncle always says "proper prior planning prevents poor performance"

[MN_BISON]

My flight is booked, flying out of MSP Friday on American and will be touching down at DFW at 11:15 am. Waiting on tickets, but that will work itself out. Staying in Allen about 15 minutes from the stadium, this weekend can't come soon enough. Also, if tickets work out, I hear plans are in place for Rollin' Thunder to make the trek down to Big D.
