[Tatanka]

In the online waiting room...

Anyone have a guess as to when the sellout occurs? I'm going with 10:30am.

I am across the table from you. How's it going?

[No_Skill]

Got 10 to UNI. went pretty smoothly.

[GOB1SON]

My guess is 8:47.

Anyone have a guess as to when the sellout occurs? I'm going with 10:30am.

I'd say by 10:10 if the software could keep up, but the logjam will break when the games start to say "Sold OUT". I'll go with the Delaware St. game selling out last at 9:37am.

[BisonTeacher]

online waiting room can SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!

[Trumpster]

The online waiting room is the worst!

[Tatanka]

I am across the table from you. How's it going?Pretty good. So, do you think they should run the ball this year or just pass it?

[BisonTeacher]

Neulion can suck it!!!!

[Bison03]

Good luck to all those getting tickets. I predict all games will be sold out before noon. Anyone in line at the BSA or Dome? Where are they selling them in person?

[grizlandbisonfan]

fudge. If you're in and done, then I think I am up a creek a I sit in the god forsaken purgatory known as "the waiting room".

[gumby013]

Just picked up tix for @ YSU. No wait on the phone.

[GRAFTONBISON]

Pretty good. So, do you think they should run the ball this year or just pass it?

Air it out! Save season!

[wagsabison]

online waiting room...

[BisonTeacher]

rat farts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rockbear99]

Fuck you online waiting room. Fuck you phone system. Well at least the game are on TV this year.

[BisonTeacher]

Just picked up tix for @ YSU. No wait on the phone.

so the busy signal must just be my phone?

[THEsocalledfan]

went in immediately at 0800....have not gotten in at all, waiting room and phone is busy!

[BisonTeacher]

Stands up in front of computer and shakes fist at the sky and says "CURSE YOU NEULION!!!!!"

[devin45k]

I just ordered 26 tickets. 4 a game and 2 extra for ferris state.

[Wally]

well that was fun....got out of the waiting room on my ipad, got 2 tix for HC and I get locked up for some reason. Thinking I got shut out, I go back to imac and try to get 2 for HC, which I do get. Go back to ipad and order was processed. Net net, I might have 2 HC tix for sale.

Now on to the jacks website at 9 and deal w/ neulion again

[Tatanka]

Just got a 503 error.... nice! well, back to the back of the line...

For the non-techies:

The Web server (running the Web site) is currently unable to handle the HTTP request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. Some servers in this state may also simply refuse the socket connection, in which case a different error may be generated because the socket creation timed out.

I'm still looking :)

[spelunker64]

Now a 3min refresh

[gotts]

Anyone else having a 3 minute refresh time on the waiting room windows?

[BisonTeacher]

[THEsocalledfan]

How? please tell

[Tatanka]

I think it's safe to say that more than 57 people are buying tickets today.

[Tatanka]

Anyone else having a 3 minute refresh time on the waiting room windows?yes sir

[VanClubPres]

Waiting room since 8:00:01, auto refresh just switched from 30 seconds to 1:30....

[grizlandbisonfan]

I just finished and got tickets to every game but USD. That tab crashed at some point. I had to go SRO to UNI since there were no other options for 2+ tickets together.

[THEsocalledfan]

I will destroy something if I get zero tickets today!

[BisonTeacher]

finally got in...only single seats avail...but even then it says it cant process request

[MNLonghorn10]

Just got a 503 error.... nice! well, back to the back of the line...

For the non-techies:
Theyre replacing the hamster that runs the engine..give it a minute you impatient bastard.

[Hammerhead]

I logged in around 8:02 CDT and finally got through at about 8:28 and scored my tickets for Delaware State up in row JJ. :)

[Wally]

I think it's safe to say that more than 57 people are buying tickets today.


I think we are going to need more than 1 football helmet car for all these deliveries

[Trumpster]

i finally got mine, I had to split homecoming into standing room single seats, but I got all my tickets!

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

I am very jealous of anyone that got past this disguisting online waiting room. I have been in it now for over a half hour. This is by far the worst ticket system I have seen. Sheesh! I am pretty much guarenteed no tickets at this point. Good Luck to the rest of you!

[THEsocalledfan]

scored 3 standing room UNI.

[BisonTeacher]

Got 2 sideline reserved...but they are not together. Wonder how the wife will feel about that.

[BisonNation11]

Got 2 sideline reserved...but they are not together. Wonder how the wife will feel about that.

Let her sit and stand in front of her, sell the other ticket

[THEsocalledfan]

I sure hope i can get my sdsu tickets at 9.....

[THEsocalledfan]

This is insanity; I have two computers going and trying redial on phone every few seconds while trying to work?

[Bison03]

Online waiting rooms are commen and nothing to get too worked up about. They can only handle so many people on there at one time. Yeah it sucks, but thats the system. I once was in an online waiting room for Cubs tickets for 5 hours before I got it. Next thing to watch for will be the insane asking prices on StubHub and Craigslist for these tickets.

[BisonTeacher]

This is insanity; I have two computers going and trying redial on phone every few seconds while trying to work?

I was logged in at 7:55, I had 5 windows open and was on the phone as well. HORSE HOCKEY!!!

[THEsocalledfan]

Online waiting rooms are commen and nothing to get too worked up about.

WTF? If I don't get tickets, it is nothing to get upset about? Like to kick men when they are down? Sadly, my brain will never be wired that way....I was hoping to have a couple games I did not have to stress about getting tickets.

[tjbison]

this is awesome, just the people in this thread are trying to buy more tickets than the undies sold in their aggressive campaign!

glad my tickets are safely secured in my gun safe!

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

Now the question is, will I get Bison tickets first or SDSU tickets first?

[matt]

Finally got out of online waiting room purgatory at 8:46, got 6 for USD in a block of 2 and a block of 4, though it told me several times that 4 were not available.

[THEsocalledfan]

Now the question is, will I get Bison tickets first or SDSU tickets first?

probably know in 10 min....at least ive gotten 3 crappy uni tickets at this point.

[championfan]

IN waiting rooms for 40 minutes, then finally got in and got 4 for USD and Delaware. Ithink people trying to get 10 were slowing down the process.

[MankatoBison]

ooookay, im getting mad...... I have to leave for work in 50 mins.... and I don't like my odds... I JUST NEED TWO FOR UNI! THATS ALL!!!

[Bison03]

WTF? If I don't get tickets, it is nothing to get upset about? Like to kick men when they are down? Sadly, my brain will never be wired that way....I was hoping to have a couple games I did not have to stress about getting tickets.

Yes, obviously that sucks if you cant get tickets. But all this was expected. It's like getting pissed off at the wait in the beer lines at We Fest.

[Gully]

I was able to get two sideline reserved for Illinois State and 1 endzone reserved for Homecoming. I'm pretty much set for the year now, I just need one ticket in my group to free up for Delaware State and I'll be golden.

Next up bunnyturd.com at 9AM.

[Gully]

online waiting room can SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!

Wait, you guys had to go into a waiting room?

[THEsocalledfan]

Yes, obviously that sucks if you cant get tickets. But all this was expected. It's like getting pissed off at the wait in the beer lines at We Fest.

No offense bison03, but I am very pissed and I would also be pissed in a long beer line at We Fest as it shows a lack of planning not wanting to maximize revenue.

On Myers-Briggs, I am ESTJ.....we are a little high strung.

[BisonTeacher]

wait, you guys had to go into a waiting room?

gully can suck it!!!

Fire gully save season!!!

[gumby013]

so the busy signal must just be my phone?

Just pointing out the difference in getting tickets from YSU. Called 2 minutes after single game tickets went on sale there. No wait. The lady who picked up the phone seemed a bit surprised that anyone would be calling.

[MankatoBison]

Yes, obviously that sucks if you cant get tickets. But all this was expected. It's like getting pissed off at the wait in the beer lines at We Fest.
yeeeeah, you can shut up. you'd be saying the same thing.

[runtheoption]

I don't know what all the fuss is about...I logged in about 10 minutes ago, immediately was placed in the purchasing area of gobison.com, and was able to get 8 GA tickets for each game.







j/k

I'm going to cut you some slack because you are in the middle of waiting for much wanted tickets. I am pretty sure they planned for this and there will be no lack of revenue as all tickets will be sold. Best of luck man. Time to get tix to the Jacks game.

[THEsocalledfan]

now in jacks waiting room

[Hansel]

Just got my 4 for SDSU

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

Just got in, but all good games sold out! Uni, and Homecoming = Sell out.
USD, ILL St have SRO,
Ferris St and Del St have some Reserved left.

Just an update

[THEsocalledfan]

lack of revenue was about wefest. I am just pissed I can't get tickets, but did score 3 more iSU-r

[THEsocalledfan]

I am calling it good ISU-r and UNI GA. I am sick of this at this point. I just need to score SDSU, they pray I can pick up tickets on bisonville.

[devin45k]

How? please tell

Waited for 20 minutes online then about 10 seconds before 8:00 am i refreshed it. Also I used google chrome and whenever their was an error message, I just had to hit Back and it went to exactly where I was with no problems.


My stepfather did the same thing and got more too.

I did have change a chrome setting about predicting the page that was fowling up my refresh.

[MankatoBison]

Whew... got 2 UNI tix... in the visitors section... not together hahah, looks like I'll be headed to the student section!

[devin45k]

I did have change a chrome setting about predicting the page that was fowling up my refresh.

I know my stepfathers coworker was having problems using Internet Explorer but he got in fairly fast with Firefox.

[Gully]

Scored 4 for SDSU. All set. Time to have a bloody beer now, I think.

[BisonTeacher]

I know my stepfathers coworker was having problems using Internet Explorer but he got in fairly fast with Firefox.

I was using firefox. Not good.

[THEsocalledfan]

I just scored 3 standing for Ferris. Misery state was gone. I am trying for USD now. Got my SDSU.

[aces1180]

MSU and UNI are officially sold out! I hope the others are gone by 11:00 am.

It looks like ISU-R and USD have standing room left, while Ferris and Delaware St. both have seating available.

[MNLonghorn10]

I was using firefox. Not good.
what the hell is firefox?

[aces1180]

DSU is now sold out...

[Bison"FANatic"]

looks like Ferris and USD all that is left

[devin45k]

I was using firefox. Not good.


Hmmm.....I am not sure what the problem was then. I just saw heard that most people had problems with internet explorer.

[THEsocalledfan]

Screw USD tickets. I know darn well I'll be able to pick those up on Bisonville last minute. I feel pretty good with 3 standing room for 3 games and good reserved SDSU tickets.

[devin45k]

I clicked on the USD tickets first because I thought it would be the least requested game. I think I may have been right.

[BisonTeacher]

Screw USD tickets. I know darn well I'll be able to pick those up on Bisonville last minute. I feel pretty good with 3 standing room for 3 games and good reserved SDSU tickets.

Couldnt you have travel hacked this whole ordeal for us? :biggrin:

[aces1180]

USD is sold out...FSU is all that remains...It would be awesome to see those gone by 10 am.

[devin45k]

I wasn't too jacked a week ago for football season to start already but this has got me pumped.

[344Johnson]

Ferris and USD still left....

[Bison15]

Just called the ticket office to try to resolve a problem I had and got a message that states "All single game tickets have been SOLD OUT, thanks for your business" then busy signal.

[Hammerhead]

Ferris State is down to standing room only tickets. :)

Edit. If you try to buy SRO tickets is says "There are not enough seats available in this pricing level" even for a single ticket.



USD is sold out...FSU is all that remains...It would be awesome to see those gone by 10 am.

[Bison03]

Tried to see if I could buy the available standing room for Ferris St. and it could not fill my request of 1. I think we sold this baby out in less then 2 hours. Great job Bison Nation!!!

[Vitojr130]

Whew... got 2 UNI tix... in the visitors section... not together hahah, looks like I'll be headed to the student section!

Hey, I'll be there too. Assuming, of course, that the students don't encounter the same errors as nonstudents when getting tickets. Usually student tix take a few hours to sell out, so I should be good.

[Vitojr130]

My buddy JUST got homecoming tickets. Don't ask how because I have no clue...

[Gully]

Now that it's completely sold out, we can return to the usual endless speculation.

How much will ticket prices increase next year?

[SDbison]

Sucks........my daughters living in Lincoln wanted to come to a game this year and the UNI game was the only weekend that was possible for them. One worked the phone and the other the computer for well over an hour this morning and neither got in. When one finally did the UNI game was sold out. Anybody with 2 extra tickets for this game please send me a PM. Thanks!

[Tatanka]

I also got skunked because I was stupid and scheduled a morning meeting this morning. Was in the waiting room for an hour then at some point during my meeting had a chance to pick tickets but didn't get there in time. Oh well...

[Tatanka]

Now that it's completely sold out, we can return to the usual endless speculation.

How much will ticket prices increase next year?Gabe, you know what to do.

[Bison03]

Well, 8am NDSU tickets on sale, 9am SDSU tickets on sale, now the hour we have all been waiting for; 10am and und tickets are now on sale. No virtual waiting room over there. PLENTY of seats available. You could buy a ticket on th 50 yard line if you wanted. I guess they are all waiting outside the Ralph for when hockey tickets go on sale.

[roadwarrior]

Remember that there are always some tickets released the day before each game. Unsold or unused tickets in the visitors allotment and in the NDSU football player family section.

[Tatanka]

True story. No way Ferris state uses their allotment, for example. And someone should go ahead and start the thread complaining about the student section.

Sent from somewhere using my Win8 phone or something.

and the band, blue seats, people leaving at halftime, noise level

cause I'm sorry but this will be PVAM all over again IMO

Exact reason I wish the student allotment was smaller or they charged for them. I hate that people have to try their hardest to get tix but then students can just logon and get a ticket and not even show up.

[aces1180]

Please tell me that the marketing department is NOT putting up billboards for tickets this year...Use those fund to promote the other sports or to build the SHAC.

[Tatanka]

Excellent. Let's see if we can exhaust all the usual topics today by noon! :D

Pics? Just kidding, you grizzled old bastard.

I was using firefox. Not good.

You just seem to have soo much trouble... you just "click" & get tickets :)

[VanClubPres]

I would have gotten this earlier, but I had to meet Steven Threet at the WF Sonic to discuss corner seating in the dome. Sorry

[HerdBot]

Did they actually sell standing room today? In the past they didn't sell those right away

[BisonTeacher]

Did they actually sell standing room today? In the past they didn't sell those right away

They did. Ten

[HerdBot]

They did. Ten

Wow so we've not only sold out every seat but sold out standing room too! Wow!
I am confident that Ferris State will return their allotment

[344Johnson]

Exact reason I wish the student allotment was smaller or they charged for them. I hate that people have to try their hardest to get tix but then students can just logon and get a ticket and not even show up.

Dont charge for tickets. We pay enough to go to school here the way it is. If they wanted to take away 500 tickets from students and put it as GA or something, that'd be fair.

[imabison]

Please tell me that the marketing department is NOT putting up billboards for tickets this year...Use those fund to promote the other sports or to build the SHAC.

The only issue I have with your statement is that the ticket billboards are for all sports not just football, and not all sports are sold out....just a point to be made.
I agree with spending the money on the SHAC....

[devin45k]

Wow so we've not only sold out every seat but sold out standing room too! Wow!

We better have out hospital beds ready ;)

Really, though, being a student at NDSU is incredibly cheap compared to other schools. I paid less for my entire undergrad education than one of my friends did for a single year at a private school out east. It's a great value.

[344Johnson]

Oh absolutely. We already pay athletics fees though. Thats our ticket.

[Bison bison]

Student's pay an activity fee which covers a lot of things.

That fee doesn't guarantee a seat to any game.

[roadwarrior]

I am confident that Ferris State will return their allotment

You don't think their player's parents will attend the game? None of their fans are curious to watch their team play the FCS champs?

[spelunker64]

Maybe we could sell the students seats for the 2nd half of the game, they are usually open by then anyway...

I'm sure we'd get some takers

[HerdBot]

You don't think their player's parents will attend the game? None of their fans are curious to watch their team play the FCS champs?

A few but I doubt Ferris State travels well! Well see I guess.

[roadwarrior]

What do you think the visiting team allotment is? I would guess 150-200 max.

[Tatanka]

You don't think their player's parents will attend the game? None of their fans are curious to watch their team play the FCS champs?Your post could have been a lot shorter. Just sayin' :D

[gumby013]

Towson tickets went on sale today. Picked up a couple for vs Delaware State the week before we play them. 40 yard line....12 rows up. Easy. Guess they don't have much demand.

Make sure to hit up all 4

[tjbison]

Make sure to hit up all 4

people or groups?

[NWNDBison]

A few but I doubt Ferris State travels well! Well see I guess.

Ferris State only averages 2700 fans at their home games, so traveling fans would be a small percentage of that.

[RedRiver]

The NDSU ticket office estimated that there were 40,000 attempted phone calls made during the two hours of football ticket sales. Unbelievable!

[gumby013]

It's less than 2 hours from DSU to Towson...so I'm hoping there will be a few.
