Heads up prices are dropping big time. Time is running short on shipping . You may have to pay a little extra for expedited shipping or find a place that has a local pickup spot. Are there any local companies in Frisco that have pickup spots similar to Ticket King in Minneapolis ?

I know Stub hub has last minute pickup locations. They call it last minute services I think. Our in mpls was a fed ex kinkos, but it only worked if the ticket seller was a local resident and could drop them off there.

I wonder if that means most of the ticket owners are not local?

Could be a tour operator hoping Montana made it but now dumping tickets.

or just a knowlegable FCS fan. Looking back on it I don't see how I didn't recognize the opportunity. 3 of the four teams have strong fanbases and the 4th is located next door to the stadium

If in fact this is true that there is a Butte person selling tickets, maybe I can get tickets at the last minute (an bring them to Frisco) for Bison Fans.

If someone knows about this PM me.

Still too high. They will drop quickly as we get closer to the end of the week. Patience will be rewarded (count #62 for Gully).

My tickets and quite a few others all were mailed from butte montana. Doesn't give a specific address in butte though, just that they originated in butte, mt.

tickets are from 94 bucks today... I have had tickets to this game since the GSU game but I have been checking stub hub almost every day to see what the prices of tickets were. It's going to be fun to watch those tickets prices fall dramatically this week. Also, if you were to buy tickets from stubhub this week, how would you make sure to get your tickets by game time? (I have never bought tickets through them before and I am not sure how the site works)

If you buy today or tomorrow they will be overnighted in time for the game. Just have them shipped to your hotel if you are worried about getting them. Just call your hotel first to make sure they will take the delivery

Just to clarify on this...Are you saying the sellers arent using the last minute services option, or stub hub is not allowing them to use it? Usually when you sell on stub hub its up to the seller if they want to use the last minute services or not.

Regarding sending to your hotel. Make sure there is a comment to the effect of "Hold for guest {insert name} arriving **/**/**" I use this option quite often when my boss is traveling and it usually works quite well. Make sure to have tracking information for the tickets so you know that they have shipped.

They are as low as 94 dollars but that's still for single. If you need more than 1 your still talking over 150 per ticket.

If you wait too long they won't be able to ship them. I would assume most people are leaving Wed night ot Thurs morning.

It will become a buyer market. If someone has $40 into the ticket and they want to get some money out of it, they will figure out a way to get the ticket to a willing buyer. Otherwise they are out $40 entirely. That's why I expect to see several tickets available on game day from guys walking around.

Stub Hub sets up the last minute services at the location of the event. They are not doing that for this event.

Even if it was I say more power to them. I would bet people selling teammakers tickets realize they can get panic monsters to buy tickets way overpriced knowing they can get cheap tickets outside of the stadium. I really cant stop laughing at these people who over payed for tickets and then got other seats and now think they will be able to recoup their money. Its not anyone elses fault that you spazzed out and bought tickets for 250. Expect to take a big hit in the pocket book for not thinking with your brain!

Dont get me wrong, I love that Bison fans said screw it I want my ticket and I will pay top dollar. The people that annoy me are the ones who are refused to go because they didnt think they would be able to get a ticket

The number of tickets listed on Stubhub has been pretty stable between 200 and 250 over the past couple of weeks. I doubt there will be too many empty seats.

This is why I have said all along that the stadium will not be full. I'm betting something in the 15K range. Sure tickets are supposedly "sold out", but that doesn't equate to butts in seats. Kinda sucks, but it is what it is.

I think the stadium will be full or close to full. I just don't think demand far exceeds supply driving up ticket prices.

Considering the SRO tickets sold out in 15 minutes, I doubt there will be many empty seats. The number of tickets on stubhub hasn't been higher than 200 every time I've checked in the past couple of weeks. I can't imagine they are holding back on too many tickets.

Sure, there will be people who don't show up (car trouble, missed flights, unexpected illness, etc.), but not that many. I was kind of hoping for cold weather hoping some of the Texans would wuss out, but it should be a nice day.

You could have a lot of Montana or GSU fans who bought tickets in hopes their team would make and don't realize they have ways to get rid of their tickets. That seems odd but it is possible. You could also have sponsors who got tickets they won't use for whatever reason and don't realize they could sell them or turn them back in for PHP or NCAA to sell them. If there were brokers who bought a lot of tickets in hopes of making big profits and are slowly leading those through online sites, they could end up with a lot of extras on the streets this weekend with not enough buyers. That is the only way I see a lot of unused tickets.

If you don't have a ticket yet but want to go I bet you get a great price on a ticket on the street Saturday morning.

I am a little surprised the prices haven't dropped a little more today. They've been fairly flat the past 24 hours and there are still several that are way overpriced. How many BV fans are still waiting to get their tickets? How many are planning to buy them on the street in Frisco? These tickets will eventually go for much less because the sellers will want to get something for their tickets.

You are correct. Hang around the alumni event tomorrow night and the tailgate areas on Saturday and tickets will be available. And they will probably be really cheap.
