Tickets

[YOUVEBEENTHUNDERSTRUCK]

UNI-single game tickets go on sale at 8:30am. Endzone corners where most people going to sit again? im going for best available

USD-i thought were going on sale tomorrow also but their ticket office today said the 18th, and had no info on weather the game will be played at the dakota dome or howard wood again. anyone have some info on that?

Lets go herd! conference away games that we should be able to fill the stadiums! as many of you know the away tailgates can be some of the most fun and the winner of that uni game should be #1 seed in the playoffs need any more convincing? good now buy all the tickets up!

[MNLonghorn10]

USD's game better be played in freakin Vermillion...i have a non refundable room in that crappy town.

[Bison03]

USD's game better be played in freakin Vermillion...i have a non refundable room in that crappy town.

No way they are dumb enough to move that game to Sioux Falls again making it a Bison home game.

[THEsocalledfan]

You serious? This is USD.......

[tjbison]

You serious? This is USD.......

I would bet it doesn't happen again, unless BWW and the Sheraton have pull to get it back there

[SamsRams]

Weber St just said the go on sale tomorrow at 1030 MST

[tjbison]

Weber St just said the go on sale tomorrow at 1030 MST

it will not sell out

[SamsRams]

it will not sell out

and your point is?

[EC8CH]

Any advice for bettering chances of getting single game tix tomorrow other than being ready the second the clock strikes 8?

[YOUVEBEENTHUNDERSTRUCK]

sleep at the ticket office

[BisonTeacher]

Date someone at the ticket office

[tjbison]

and your point is?

that it won't sell out, I'm assuming some will think they need to "buy them up ASAP" if they plan to go

what's your point?

[SamsRams]

that it won't sell out, I'm assuming some will think they need to "buy them up ASAP" if they plan to go

what's your point?

my point is tickets go on sale tomorrow. thread is about tickets and mentioning places where tickets go on sale tomorrow so I thought I would point out Weber St tickets go on sale tomorrow.

[A1pigskin]

Last year tickets sold out in 4 hours.

[bisonfanette]

Date someone at the ticket office

OMgosh... I was thinking the exact same thing & then you posted it!

I will be thinking of TSCF tomorrow am ~ good luck!

[StL Bison Fan]

Nope.

[THEsocalledfan]

OMgosh... I was thinking the exact same thing & then you posted it!

Thank you for the well wishes, but it will not help when I hit the online waiting room......

Is this the line for the Online Waiting Room

[El_Chapo]

where the heck is the info for the South Dakota game? their website is worthless.

[MNLonghorn10]

where the heck is the info for the South Dakota game? their website is worthless.

LMAO. So pud.

[El_Chapo]

crashed already?


We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with this site.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Website it getting hugged pretty damng hard right now...

[THEsocalledfan]

yep..........

[344Johnson]

my computer spazzed at 8 am. fucking a. wait room

[devin45k]

WTF the site crashed

[Trumpster]

I'm not even in the waiting room yet. fuck.

[THEsocalledfan]

this is crazy; I am so f$cking pissed right now. NDSU is completely incompetent on ticket allocation.

[El_Chapo]

just an abortion!

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Lovely. Got booted from my waiting room.

[Rockbear99]

fuck I can not even get to the waiting room come on ndsu you know there will be a rush so why can you not prepare for it with more IT support

[THEsocalledfan]

Good flippin grief; how can NDSU be this incompetent?

[BisonTeacher]

Pretty sure ndsu uses neulion for ticket sales. Just sayin.

[344Johnson]

still in the wait room. crossing my fingers.

[gotts]

What a shitshow. Got booted from the waiting room.

[Trumpster]

I got into the waiting room. That's a win I guess...

[Bison"FANatic"]

how bad is the line at the dome??? Anyone know

[WYOBISONMAN]

Total horseshit......I will watch on TV.

[Tatanka]

fuck I can not even get to the waiting room come on ndsu you know there will be a rush so why can you not prepare for it with more IT support

Right, because this is running on NDSU's servers supported by NDSU's staff. :rolleyes:

It's NDSU's vendor's problem, and I'm sure the NDSU ticket office is burning up the IP phones telling them about it but it's not in NDSU's control, other than to switch to a different vendor. Good grief.

[MNLonghorn10]

how bad is the line at the dome??? Anyone know

Theyre all stuck on 19th ave traffic

[MrSnuffleupagus]

how bad is the line at the dome??? Anyone know

Really starting to think I should have took today off to go to the dome...damnit.

[THEsocalledfan]

Pretty sure ndsu uses neulion for ticket sales. Just sayin.

Yeah, and who the F made the decision to use them and allow non doners to have season tickets with paying no dues at the Dome?

[Tatanka]

Yeah, and who the F made the decision to use them and allow non doners to have season tickets with paying no dues at the Dome?

Dude. Who the F made the decision not to buy season tickets when they were available? Just sayin'.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

In a wiating room for Indiana State on my phone, but can't pull up the damn site on my PC. What a shit show.

[WYOBISONMAN]

Wow......win 3 natty's and this works like UND's fucking football team.

[aces1180]

Yeah, and who the F made the decision to use them and allow non doners to have season tickets with paying no dues at the Dome?

Who decided not to get season tickets when there were plenty a few years ago?

[Trumpster]

Dude. Who the F made the decision not to buy season tickets when they were available? Just sayin'.

This guy. But to be fair, I didn't have a job at the time.

[THEsocalledfan]

I have succeeding in buying zero so far.....you can't make this shit up.

[Trumpster]

I'm getting thrown out of the waiting rooms, WTF

[Elite]

Sitting in this waiting room gives me so sense of security. In fact, I'm almost even more anxious now.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

I'm getting thrown out of the waiting rooms, WTF

Been thrown out of 2 different waiting rooms now. Only to sit and wait for the chance for the page to go to the waiting room to load. This is neat.

[aces1180]

I spoke to a friend in Fargo...He said the line is around the dome! It's good to be the champs!

[THEsocalledfan]

Dude. Who the F made the decision not to buy season tickets when they were available? Just sayin'.

If you think that is fair, you are delusional. Some folks not paying dues have dozens of tickets. That is horseshit Tony, and you flippin know it.

[MNLonghorn10]

Yeah, and who the F made the decision to use them and allow non doners to have season tickets with paying no dues at the Dome?

[Rockbear99]

Me Because I live in Devils Lake and could not afford to go to every home game. Do I regret that, yes. Is there anything I can do about that, no. All I want is
tickets to home opener. My little girl has not missed a opener and I dont want to start now

[BisonNation11]

Been thrown out of 4 waiting rooms so far. This is just how I wanted to start out my day

[BisonHorns]

Later they will announce that it took 3 hours to sell out, without mentioning that most of the time buyers were in waiting rooms.

[344Johnson]

I spoke to a friend in Fargo...He said the line is around the dome! It's good to be the champs!

I was up at 7. I live a block away. Why the hell I didn't just get up at 6 and go there and avoid this stupid mess is beyond me.

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

Pretty Sure, I have 0 chances for tickets... looks like I will be a begger again :(

[aces1180]

If you think that is fair, you are delusional. Some folks not paying dues have dozens of tickets. That is horseshit Tony, and you flippin know it.\

How do you figure? When demand was low, those folks bought tickets...Now they should be punished for not donating? Seems like a good way to alienate folks and create a PR nightmare. Plus, they are slowing changing the requirements next year.

[aces1180]

I understand that...But demand is at an all-time high right now...Some people are just going to be denied...It sucks, but that's the way it is.

[No_Skill]

Has the online waiting room actually ever worked for anyone in the past?

Dozens of tickets? Are you serious? I'd have ZERO problem if paying dues.

[gotts]

It works...

works at crushing my spirit, that is.

[MNLonghorn10]

me thinks this whole "waiting room crap" is to take care of the live people at the dome, then release them at a certain time online.

kinda like the long line at a drive thru vs no line inside...walk in, get your tickets(food) before everybody else for not wanting to leave their car(computer)

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Has anyone actually bought any tickets today?

[PattyBison]

If you think that is fair, you are delusional. Some folks not paying dues have dozens of tickets. That is horseshit Tony, and you flippin know it.

Oh come on. You are just unhappy that you haven't figured out a way to game the system to buy Bison tickets. Have you ever tried to buy tickets to a in demand show via any ticket seller? This isn't unusual. Frustrating? Absolutely. Limited to NDSU? Absolutely not. Unusual? No. You don't build ticket systems for a demand of one to five days per year.

[tcbison]

Has the online waiting room actually ever worked for anyone in the past?

I got in last year. This year not so much.

[aces1180]

Dozens of tickets? Are you serious? I'd have ZERO problem if paying dues.

Those fans stayed around or jumped on the bandwagon before it became the cool thing to do...Good on them, IMO.

[NDSUstudent]

Got two for Montana somehow.

[MNLonghorn10]

Has anyone actually bought any tickets today?

i was trying the Montana game at 8, got kicked out after 2 loading sessions...tried getting back on and cant even load a site. so i quit

[BisonHorns]

ONLINE WAITING ROOM

Due to the high volume of people pissing and moaning about purchasing tickets, you have been placed in the online waiting room. You will be redirected to the this page as space becomes available.

[EC8CH]

Got 2 endzone for the grizz and 4 endzone for the penguins.... online.

[EagleBison]

I got in last year. This year not so much.

Montana fans are not helping the situation.

[bri-dog]

I spoke to a friend in Fargo...He said the line is around the dome! It's good to be the champs!

Just read on Steve Parmer's facebook that he was 8th in line at the dome (posted 5 hours ago)...

[MrSnuffleupagus]

This online waiting room crap for Volleyball tickets is a load of garbage.

[VanClubPres]

Hanging with me and my friends in the waiting room.4140

[Trumpster]

I wonder if my friends have any idea the agony they put me through when I'm buying all the tickets.

[344Johnson]

I can't complain too much. Honestly, I'm just trying to get tickets so that some relatives who are bound to be in town throughout the season have tickets.

I think you are probably spot on though about this drive-thru vs inside thing

[WYOBISONMAN]

2 for Montana..........SCORED!

[BisonHorns]

I am starting to doubt the existence of these games.

[THEsocalledfan]

Those fans stayed around or jumped on the bandwagon before it became the cool thing to do...Good on them, IMO.

Yep, and am a Bandwagon fan; never liked NDSU until they got good. Aces, you know I don't live in Fargo; that make a HUGE difference.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Got 2 endzone for the grizz and 4 endzone for the penguins.... online.

Well dang...I might as well just give up.

[Dakid3kc]

Well after getting kicked out and page not loading and reloading for about 10 minutes, I finally got 2 for the game I will be back for, the YSU game, in endzone. Just for fun I looked for a few more. there was a set of two still in second to top row, and a couple sets of 2 I saw in end zone south end still.

[EagleBison]

Yep, and am a Bandwagon fan; never liked NDSU until they got good. Aces, you know I don't live in Fargo; that make a HUGE difference.

The first FCS playoff game there were 12,000 fans.

[Professor Chaos]

A word of advice, don't let your browser sit in the "online waiting room". Add a favorite for the page where you can click the "Buy Now" links for any game and if you get dumped into the online waiting room, hit that favorite link and start over and keep repeating until you're redirected to the page where you can choose the type of seats you want. It'll be quicker in the end.

[moosbah]

Waiting.....waiting......

[Rockbear99]

Whew just got in and got my little girl her tickets, the streak continues. Yeah she is only 5 but you got to start a tradition somewhere.

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

Is it bad.. I am just excited to see the waiting room this. I have yet to see that.

[THEsocalledfan]

The first FCS playoff game there were 12,000 fans.

And I was there!!!!! Yep, I am bandwagon.

[BisonNation11]

Pretty sure ndsu uses neulion for ticket sales. Just sayin.

They do. NeuLion Checkout Services. Underneath the waiting room updating bar

[aces1180]

Yep, and am a Bandwagon fan; never liked NDSU until they got good. Aces, you know I don't live in Fargo; that make a HUGE difference.

Never said you were a bandwagon fan...I just don't think those who purchased early should be punished for planning ahead. I also don't live in Fargo and never had them when I did live there...It was just a choice.

[Bison-Knuckle]

I was able to get 2 for Mont. online

[BisonHorns]

I wonder how the Wyoming tickets are selling.

[344Johnson]

got 1 standing room for montana. 4 for homecoming it looks like.

[NDSUstudent]

My brother just got two for Indiana State and SDSU(standing room) so it is working for some people.

[WYOBISONMAN]

I wonder how the Wyoming tickets are selling.

actually sales are up a good bit.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Just got 2 endzone tickets for the first home game. Great success. Would buy again. Good seller. 3/5

[bisonboone11]

got 1 standing room for montana. 4 for homecoming it looks like.
Was there only standing room left for the Montana game?

[THEsocalledfan]

Never said you were a bandwagon fan...I just don't think those who purchased early should be punished for planning ahead. I also don't live in Fargo and never had them when I did live there...It was just a choice.

So, I person can have 20-40 tickets and pay no dues because there first? You REALLY believe that? Again, I'd have ZERO problem if paying dues on each seat. I have it on good word this is NOT unusual....

[BisonHorns]

I just got two hanging from the rafters for the Montana game.

[aces1180]

So, I person can have 20-40 tickets and pay no dues because there first? You REALLY believe that? Again, I'd have ZERO problem if paying dues on each seat. I have it on good word this is NOT unusual....

I have no problem with it...They were smart and bought early.

BTW - I'm not trying to be disrespectful...We just have a different in opinion.

[MNLonghorn10]

Yep, and am a Bandwagon fan; never liked NDSU until they got good. Aces, you know I don't live in Fargo; that make a HUGE difference.

Whats the problem? I was with EZ for like 4 years up until after national championship #1, and was able to get my own season tickets after putting in a request. obviously that does you no good now, but they were attainable back then...

[NDSUstudent]

People say we don't need a bigger stadium....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Just think how much money is being left on the table.

[344Johnson]

Was there only standing room left for the Montana game?

I couldn't get 2 of anything for montana

[THEsocalledfan]

I have no problem with it...They were smart and bought early.

Agree to disagree. This is NOT the PR issue many seem to think it would be. Modest dues after the last two years is not too much to ask and they are moving way too slow.

[BisonNation11]

Was there only standing room left for the Montana game?

Down to single reserved, handicap and standing. SDSU down to standing room

[aces1180]

Agree to disagree. This is NOT the PR issue many seem to think it would be. Modest dues after the last two years is not too much to ask and they are moving way too slow.

Fair enough...

[MrSnuffleupagus]

The real question is, do these tickets ship free with Prime?

[Gully]

I was able to get 2 for homecoming together. I also picked up two singles for Montana. That game seemed to be tougher to get than homecoming.

[344Johnson]

Down to single reserved, handicap and standing. SDSU down to standing room

hoping to sneak a couple standing room for SDSU and YSU.

[HoopsBison]

Got tickets for all the games, standing room only for the Jacks game tho.

[MNLonghorn10]

People say we don't need a bigger stadium....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Just think how much money is being left on the table.
lulz.

I didnt say anything...I didn't say anything..

[THEsocalledfan]

I give up; have real work to do. Have 10 waiting rooms open with no luck. Will have to be 3 for Montana for now.

[EagleBison]

People say we don't need a bigger stadium....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Just think how much money is being left on the table.

Depends on how the Bison do the next few years. If they continue to win, yes a bigger stadium is needed. Need to sellout about 10 straight seasons. If they start losing and crowds are down to the 10-12,000 level, then no.

[BisonNation11]

I give up; have real work to do. Have 10 waiting rooms open with no luck. Will have to be 3 for Montana for now.

Click out of them. I'm able to get into any game I want to look at. Not a whole lot left and nothing below lack of oxygen layer, but they're available.

NDSU would have to really redefine losing to draw only 10-12,000.

That helped! I got in and got tickets for my nephews so they can go with me. One will go to his first Bison game this year.

[BisonTeacher]

Northern Iowa tickets purchased in section T

Same here road. 5 in row 9. Section T.

There system was pretty slick no? With a seat chooser etc.

[WYOBISONMAN]

The biggest problem with going to a larger outdoor stadium (another indoor one would be cost prohibitive) would be attendance would really drop in cold weather. There is just no great solution to this problem. Obviously the Fargodome is a good bit too small.

[344Johnson]

Im good with the dome being small. Make it like Cameron Indoor.

[gobison#6]

Got one for Montana and two standing room for Youngstown. Any game that has tickets left only has single ones left it looks like. If you wanted to pair up or go with larger groups you are out of luck.

[NDSUstudent]

Im good with the dome being small. Make it like Cameron Indoor.

Unfortunately we are not a rich private school that can afford that luxury.

We are missing out on opportunities to cultivate new relationships and every year those missed opportunities just continue to grow and grow.

I would say you are pretty clueless with that statement. I don' think we will ever see 10-12 ever again...we have that many season tickets.


I think we could EASILY average 25,000 a game or more...Is the product always going to be as good as it has been? Hard to maintain. But the tailgating has added so much more to game experience that a lot of people care more about that.

[bisonaudit]

Unfortunately we are not a rich private school that can afford that luxury.

We are missing out on opportunities to cultivate new relationships and every year those missed opportunities just continue to grow and grow.

Until demand and prices are high enough to finance a new facility this will continue to be the case because NDSU is getting no help from either the City or the State.

[344Johnson]

Unfortunately we are not a rich private school that can afford that luxury.

We are missing out on opportunities to cultivate new relationships and every year those missed opportunities just continue to grow and grow.

We also aren't a school with donors willing to put up a new one....so might as well just work with what we got.

[aces1180]

Montana and SIU are sold out...Limited left for IW, ISU-B, SDSU and YSU.

[StL Bison Fan]

If you want uni tickets get them now. Not much left if any

[bisonaudit]

We also aren't a school with donors willing to put up a new one....so might as well just work with what we got.

What we need is some of that MacMillan Cargill money:

[Bison03]

For those getting frustrated about waiting, I get it. You are pissed because you want to get tickets NOW!! It;s not the website's fault, NDSU's fault, or the boogie man's fault. I think some of you forget that their are literally tens of thousands of people trying to get tickets right now. I remember trying to get Cubs tickets in 07 and 08 when they were winning divisions and waited 10 hours in a virtual waiting room. It happens with a successful program. If you want to feel good about where the program is right now, try and get un_ tickets at 10 am and see how easy that is.

[NDSUstudent]

Until demand and prices are high enough to finance a new facility this will continue to be the case because NDSU is getting no help from either the City or the State.

I think we could finance a new outdoor stadium, all the state would have to do is let us bond.

Well you're ND, so better ask Gary

[Trumpster]

Well, I got some tickets, then after an arbitrary amount of time they decided to throw me back into the waiting room. Didn't get Montana or HC.

Hey its my last year of being a student! My easy access to tickets ends basically now!

[SDbison]

People say we don't need a bigger stadium....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Just think how much money is being left on the table. Yeah, but don't say that at Bisonville.......demand will never stay high, and its OK to turn thousands of potential fans away each year......no big deal it happens elsewhere. Elsewhere is places where the stadiums were expanded to max possible at something like 45K, 65K, 85K, 105K. A 19K football stadium is a joke when there is demand for 25K to 30K plus. Time to do something about it. At least get some fucking plans and SHOW them to the public.

[bisonaudit]

Stubhub is starting to fill up with tickets.

'fill up' may be a big of an exageration. There are between 2 and 20 per game at the moment.

[gobison#6]

Hey its my last year of being a student! My easy access to tickets ends basically now!

Yeah love it while you can. My first year out of school and I got a Montana ticket and two sro for YSU. Wish I could go back to the crashing system for students. At least I always got a ticket eventually.

[StL Bison Fan]

Hey its my last year of being a student! My easy access to tickets ends basically now!

The problem is people want a new indoor stadium. The city isn't building one and state isn't going to do that either. The cost for that kind of facility is very large.

I believe we could do what SDSU is doing, very likely on a grander scale but people here think an outdoor stadium is the end of the world. At some point I think it will come down to we either go outside or we are stuck in a very small dome.

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

F it, I give up.. I have wasted an hour and have zlitch to show for it.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Going for about ~$200 a ticket. Very nice.

[Bison03]

Tickets on stubhub for the Montana game going for as high as $268.00!!!! And that's for crappy seats!

You gotta remember my undergrad was at Idaho, this was only a problem for the Boise State game every two years. So seeing tickets up this quick is nuts to me.

Wouldn't be shocked if they get them, Montana fans got barely any tickets and they are as rabid for football as we are.

[Twentysix]

Well about 7,000 newly opened tabs later, i've said F&*^ it.

[YOUVEBEENTHUNDERSTRUCK]

Same here road. 5 in row 9. Section T.

There system was pretty slick no? With a seat chooser etc.

section G row 43 not alot of great tix left but went very smooth

Not necessarily going for. That's the asking price. I could post two tickets on StubHub in the back row of an endzone section and ask for $10,000 each.

[StL Bison Fan]

Don't bash me for saying this, but the bandwagon doesn't have side rails.
If things don't go perfect many are going to fall off the wagon and you'll get seats.

[gobison#6]

Seeing tweets from Izzo and Brian Shawn saying tickets are gone and have been for awhile now. Suppose I can quit joining waiting rooms now...

[NDSUstudent]

Doubt it. Single game tickets will be easier to come by though.

[BYZEN]

For those who think that being in line at the dome. They just go to the same website and sit in the same waiting rooms as we do sitting at home / office.

[Bison03]

Not necessarily going for. That's the asking price. I could post two tickets on StubHub in the back row of an endzone section and ask for $10,000 each.

Obviously not selling for that, yes. But that fact that they are asking that much is pretty amazing.

Exactly. I always had extra tics last year.

[bisonaudit]

Obviously not selling for that, yes. But that fact that they are asking that much is pretty amazing.

It's basically a make-me-move price, so it does tell you what the ticket holder thinks attending a game is worth to them, which is interesting, even if it's not close to the market clearing price.

[Bison"FANatic"]

Exactly. I always had extra tics last year.

There are always tickets available. I see people selling them every game in the lobby.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Was able to get one endzone ticket for Indiana State. Only single tickets available for all games I am assuming.

[NDSUstudent]

Exactly. I always had extra tics last year.

The problem is for people that want season tickets, those people are in a tough spot.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Seeing tweets from Izzo and Brian Shawn saying tickets are gone and have been for awhile now. Suppose I can quit joining waiting rooms now...


Don't give up yet, I am still sitting in waiting rooms and coming out with tickets.

[bisonaudit]

Well it looks like the $98 tickets for the Griz game on StubHub sold.

[bisonaudit]

The problem is for people that want season tickets, those people are in a tough spot.

2 on StubHub for the low, low price of $1,400 ea.

[Gully]

I think they need to significantly increase ticket prices for next year. This isn't a flash in the pan. Yes there will be down years but I just don't see ticket demand collapsing. If tickets did become available many people (including me) would buy more season tickets. I take a multi-decade view on this and would never let my tickets go.

Maybe they can start putting away $X per ticket into a fund for future stadium plans. Or maybe they can never get there that way, just use the increased revenue to keep coach pay competitive.

[BisonFan02]

Yeah, and who the F made the decision to use them and allow non doners to have season tickets with paying no dues at the Dome?

Dude....**** you for not buying season tickets when they were MORE than available not even just a couple years ago. I'm so ****ing sick of the crying about it.

[civilguy]

I've got a few extra SDSU and Indiana State tickets. Anyone interested in trading for any or the other games? Straight up.

I think where you would see the biggest drop is the companies that buy season tickets or get season tickets with sponsorships. That's where Colts and Pacers have seen huge drops when they had down years. You used to not be able to get a Pacers ticket in the early 2000s (about 18k), then the brawl happened and the team struggled. They would announce attendance of 12k and if there would 6k there I would be surprised. It was no longer a great opportunity for companies to entertain clients or spend advertising. Colts sold out many years in a row and built a waiting list of 20k for season tickets (you paid $100/seat to get on the list). They have one 2-14 season with Peyton on injured reserve and there were season tickets available. Even after 2 successful seasons with Luck they have single game tickets available.

The college dynamic is different, but I'm sure it could still happen with a couple 6-5 seasons.

[THEsocalledfan]

Dude....**** you for not buying season tickets when they were MORE than available not even just a couple years ago. I'm so ****ing sick of the crying about it.

I agree with you in principle, maybe not as hashly as you stated. Where were all of you fans 3 years ago when tickets, including season tickets, were widely available. I get the fact that demand increases with winning. But if you were fan of Bison football, you really can't complain because you could have been a season ticket holder a short as 3 years ago.

[Bison"FANatic"]

My waiting room just came through and I got the ticket I needed. Just a SRO as my daughter will sit with us in our seats. I don't know how they can say it sold out in a half hour when tickets are still coming through.

[PattyBison]

Sold out doesn't mean there are no tickets available. For each facility, there is a predetermined point as to what defines a sell out. For example, 6 seats all together in a row. A lot of times, once a sell out has been declared, it is still quite posssible to buy 2-3 seats together.

The only reason it is harsh at this point is because how tired I am of the argument...especially lately.

TSCF......you've inspired me...I'm gonna post my tickets to stubhub with "make me move" pricing. Let's see if I can fund some home renovations. :rofl: (phone purple slightly)

If there's a TM due tacked on in the coming years, so be it. I, along with others have no problem paying it.

Insider/Outsider stuff like this would be a lot easier to swallow if all of the people with tickets were actually paying what it costs a prospective new season ticket holder to get seats, or, you know, not get seats because someone who's paying less than the advertised price already has them.

Right you are! I just got 3 reserved for Homecoming, 4 reserved for the opener, and 1 for Montana.

[MAKBison]

So what I hear a lot of you saying is we should do a 30min or less type ticket promotion

[bri-dog]

Just got a phone call from Steve Parmer -- many on here know him (and Ethan).

If I understood him correctly (he was in line at the Dome since 3 am or so), he was only allowed to buy 8 tickets. So he got 1 for each game, and an extra for Homecoming and Montana.

I would be ok with this. Doing some quick math for season tickets, let's say you bump 4000 tickets up $25/seat, 4000 tickets up $50/seat, and 4000 up $100/seat. Now bump every single game ticket (4000 roughly) up $10/seat/game (6). That's almost a cool million right there and that's just an average bump up of overall. Some could be more or less. If you tell me that it's going towards a new stadium fund, I'd definitely be ok with. Is it a huge lump of money? No, but it's a start. Invest wisely and in 10 years with other fundraising efforts, who knows what that could be.

[MAKBison]

You can raise prices are just assign TM dues tot he rest of the seats. Also, Need to serious look at reducing student tickets....wait for it 1.2.3...BBBOOOOOMM

So did I... but it's 8 per person.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Right, but isn't each game one order? Since its one transaction for each game? So multiple transactions for the season. To me it sounds like it would be 8 tickets per order or 8 tickets per game.

You, and all others should be paying that now. That is the crux of the issue. I have no problem with the you are are ahead me stuff, if you were paying a market price. Your are not even close to paying that; that is my beef. Audit nailed it. As you stated, you would pay it. That is the point! You would, others would not, and free up tickets for those of us who would.

What is so darn complicated about this?

[Trumpster]

The website was weird for me. The first time I got through the waiting room they let me get 13 tickets, not 8 before they kicked me back to the waiting room. The second time I got 2 for homecoming then they kicked me back to the waiting room. Very strange.

They have done this over the past 3 years. I don't have the exact numbers so someone will have to help me out. Teammaker dues and ticket prices have gone up every year. I believe tickets in 2011 for sideline were $25. Now they are $30 with the Montana game at $35. So it can't be said that NDSU hasn't cashed in on high demand and sell outs.

I meant more along the lines of putting it out there saying "hey, we're going to jack up your tickets x-amount of dollars next year in order to start fundraising for a new stadium. This money will be kept for the new facility only and we will be fundraising in other ways as well. You will get priority choice of season tickets in the new stadium if you continue to purchase season tickets with us. Thank you for supporting Bison football as we build towards the future." They are not making money for a new stadium at the rate they are going. They're maintaining if anything. The product out there will allow for higher ticket prices the way it is.

[YOUVEBEENTHUNDERSTRUCK]

i dont agree raising the ticket prices for bison games but uni does $38 for a ticket vs NDSU $13 for a ticket vs SDSU

Yeah, I noticed that. Oh well. We still all bought tickets.

I do disagree on the grandfathered sideline seats since those folks have always paid dues and those prices are being increased each year, not to mention some of the rate advertised are almost looney high.

And yet, people willing to pay looney high amounts, can't get tickets. And I agree, it's looney. I think that, when they set that up they never anticipated demand would be like it is now and that there would be enough turnover in the season ticket holder base it wouldn't be nearly as difficult as it's proved to accommodate both a few new people with big money and the loyal old guard.

To judge from the unmet demand all of the seats in the building are priced below market. That's not necessarily the worst thing in the world. If NDSU had set prices higher and missed the market you'd have empty seats and potentially less revenue. The athletic department is trying to limit their downside risk while locking in the revenue they need to run the department.

The 8 ticket limit seems a little absurd. It's not like scalpers are snapping up hundreds of tickets and reselling them on the secondary market, and even if they were is that any less equitable for fans than the cluster that went on today which generated a couple of hundred frustrated message board posts here alone?

[stevdock]

My only question to this ticket demand is say we have a semi-ok year. 8-3 and barely make the playoffs, is the demand going to be there the next year?? There were many times in the past where NDSU drew really well until the 2nd loss and then it became a ghost town. Now with the season tickets all gone, I don't think that'll be the case during the year as much. BUT will it make people reconsider season tickets??

[bisonaudit]

Why? Everyone does this now. Saturday baseball tickets cost more because demand is higher. Premium opponents cost more because demand is higher.

Also, it could be worse. They could be forcing you to buy a Middle Tennessee State ticket in order to get an Iowa ticket.

There's nothing that says prices can't be lowered if demand is soft.

[BisonTeacher]

If you think that is fair, you are delusional. Some folks not paying dues have dozens of tickets. That is horseshit Tony, and you flippin know it.


I agree with TSCF on this. Other schools let donors buy tickets before general public. I know the "panther club"does from experience :biggrin: Not sure why NDSU doesnt give that right to teammakers. Maybe an hour before hand or something?

Tickets for big stadium events are not sold at market price anywhere that I am aware of. If they were, scalpers wouldn't have much of a business model.

Yes and my point was for you to see all the things the dome has done. As soon as they put what you suggest into place and tell the dome we are leaving the dome stops any future upgrades. I really like the upgrades that have been done and there are many more that could be done and I for one want to see the dome keep doing them.

Nothing BN11 proposed included NDSU saying we are moving out. They would really stop all these things because NDSU is starting a savings account for a new stadium? Unless someone walks up to NDSU and says, "Here's $100 million", the Bison will be playing in the dome for another 10 years at the bare minimum. If the Fargodome doesn't see the value in doing upgrades because of something that will happen 10+ years down the road, they need some new people in charge to make decisions.

[bisonfanette]

let donors or Booster club members have access to single game tickets before they go on sale to general public.

I totally agree!!! (That is a 1st - right Teach?!?) Anyone who donates $100. or MORE should have the edge on those who don't.

Now... TSCF... if you would be trying to get tickets in the past HOUR... rather than all of your posting :) you would probably have more tickets right now!!! I just got more, & yes I will share with Bisonvillers... but you need to work harder! (purple)

If they are doing it right, they will tell NDSU we plan on doing X, Y, and Z upgrades, but we need to know you will be here for at least (fill in the blank) years. Let's sign a lease contract and if you end up building your own stadium before this, your exit fee would be this upgrade and any other agreed upon upgrades we do in this time period.

It's not rocket science

I totally agree!!! (That is a 1st - right Teach?!?) Anyone who donates $100. or MORE should have the edge on those who don't.

Now... TSCF... if you would be trying to get tickets in the past HOUR... rather than all of your posting :) you would probably have more tickets right now!!! I just got more, & yes I will share with Bisonvillers... but you need to work harder! (purple)
Sadly i have a job. I can post pretty easy but you can't connect to the ticket easily and I had to start rounding.

I dont see SU doing anything without the dome.

The cost involved in a new stadium is absolutely a non starter without some public cooperation. They needed the City of Fargo to build the dome and they're satisfied with it.

Totally understand! Just giving you grief! Empty your inbox when you are on break.

When a building has a generator there is a known power swap to be in effect you would think they would have said oh by the way your lights I the office will not work...duh...
Then they discover that about 1/3 of the power outlets in the office are NOT connected to the generator. Wow, just wow...

Oh well headeaches from eye strain...

at least the humor from here helps...

It's been almost like Christmas. Some get a BB gun,
And some get bunny pj's.

Oh, geez, I just got a box from amazon 5 min ago. Only took 8 days.
Never again.

Thanks, Teach. I don't want to hop single person in line provided they are willing to pay their fair dues. Further, yes, single game tickets should go to boosters first, too.

This is already done to some extent. They need to make it official and in the open, it would make it easier for all involved.

Can't you just buy a bunch of bluebirds and use delta sky miles to get around this?

What? To some extent but not official and in the open?

More insider bullshit?

Huh¿????????????

[MontBison]

You, and all others should be paying that now. That is the crux of the issue. I have no problem with the you are are ahead me stuff, if you were paying a market price. Your are not even close to paying that; that is my beef. Audit nailed it. As you stated, you would pay it. That is the point! You would, others would not, and free up tickets for those of us who would.

What is so darn complicated about this?


Because based on past history you'd jump off the ship as soon as this team lost a few games this reducing the amount the school could have collected had they had the loyal fan occupy that seat

This would pale in comparison to what they are leaving on the table now. Remember, I am only saying they should be charging TM due right now for every seat and give TM first dibs and single game tickets. As others who now have those seats for free have pointed out, they already pay that amount or would if required so still no guarantee that I get my seats. I stated long ago I will be fine with my sour grapes at that point which I do think is happening next year, anyway. That, however, does not help the pain now.

NDSU is fixing this; it is just too slow for my liking.

Haha I know I was just giving you some shit. I appreciate the laughs this morning.
