GRIZ tickets

[loudsilverado]

I see the rapists are out on stubhub already.

Single game tickets will go on sale in July.
Looks like visitor section is generally 102-103
I wonder what our allotment will be.

[BisonHorns]

So not everyone has to go to stubhub there are two tickets at 300a piece and two at 500 a piece.

[westnodak93bison]

I got a feeling this may be one game where a good number of Bison faithful may not get a ticket. Hope I'm wrong.

Fwiw I think this is spot on.

[loudsilverado]

We have rooms reserved already, I might end up paying a premium for tix I guess. I know it's early, just trying to get a jump on it.

[SamsRams]

Honest question, how much are their season tickets and were they available last year?

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I will make sure Bison guys I talk to and tailgate with get some tickets to this game, even if I have to buy them for you myself.

Waiting list for season tickets and available based on donor level.

Now you are talking. Wanna throw in a few days on Flathead Lake? I'll buy the beer! :D

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Sure, I will probably be up there or on the Clearwater fishing the week before anyway.

A couple of tips to get Griz/Bison tickets:
1) July 5th (I believe that's the date) the season tickets that were not renewed go up for sale on a first come first serve basis. From what I've been told you basically call in and try to get them. I believe they are about $450 for a PAIR of tickets. So, get the season tickets, then sell the remaining six home game tickets. Should be able to sell the tickets pretty easily (maybe not face value but close) as they play EWU, Weber and Cal Poly all at home this year.
Too bad they aren't playing MSU at home this year, as I know quite a few people that buy season tickets and sell the CAT/Griz tickets at a premium, enough to pay for the cost of the entire season ticket package.

2) UM students can buy "buddy" tickets for $10. They sell 400 of them to each home game starting at 7:45am the Monday before each home game. So, make friends with a student, or someone that knows a student (hint: I may know a few and even be related to one) and offer them a premium to get you a buddy ticket. Heck, I would think offering a student $50 would incentivese (yes that is a word, I looked it up) a student to get up Monday morning to go to the press box and buy a buddy ticket. They can only buy one each though.

[bisonfanette]

Well, I talked to a very nice/reputable Grizz season ticket holder, & we (& Thundarsdaddy) are going to get tickets from him.
They will NOT be face value (so this may not be for everyone) but they will NOT be $300-600 either, as listed on SH!
If you would like more info, & if you will be seriously looking for Grizz tickets, send a PM. :)
P.S. I won't be able to reply til' Sunday eve. Thanks.

For those who need lodging the C'mon Inn in Missoula has rooms available now for the weekend of the opener. It's also a ND owned company. I'd book with a quickness though.

[Bison_Pyro]

I have 2 rooms at Comfort Inn University and 2 rooms at Sleep Inn. If I cannot secure tickets, i'll gladly transfer the reservations to bison folk.

Does anyone know if NDSU will get tickets for lottery like for FBS Game?

[bisonfanette]

There is also the 2015 FCS Schedule - thread - that has info re: hotels.

[loudsilverado]

Sent you a pm, we already have rooms booked.

[Bison 4 Life]

I'm going to take my chances as I have with almost every game we have had. I think spending hundreds on StubHub is silly. I will wait until at least the Summer and poke around. I don't see these being any harder to get than any other arena, hell you can get tickets to Bison home games if you're resourceful enough.

[bisonfanette]

Well, I put in a request for quite a few tickets! We'll see how this goes. I'll stay in contact with those of you who sent a PM.

[loudsilverado]

I'm always a skeptic, plus I've been checking the bed bug reports.

[loudsilverado]

Texted AG1 about this. I wonder how the guy is going to get that many tix?

[Bisonfaithful]

I have a buddy from Missoula that has assured me he can obtain 4 tickets for me. That being said i would assume they are in the heart of Griz fans seating. (not that any of you care where you sit). I am unable to attend the game, but i can still attempt to get those seats if someone needs 4. I am not sure if they would be sent to me or left at will call, so i will have to look into it. If your interested let me know and i will do some checking. Please don't ask for them to re-sell them for profit, that would make me look pretty shitty to the guy in MT.

They are spoken for. (Now i hope I can deliver.)

[BadlandsGrizFan]

He wont..hes full of shit...hahaha.

And for those of you planning on going with the idea to possibly get student section tickets. Be aware, its not set up like the NDSU student section, in designated rows and seats....Its basically just a huge section with no seats or even bleachers. Its a giant section of cement terraces. Also if youre planning on going with family or kids, a LOT of drinking and smoking weed takes place in the student section....its a pretty raucous crowd....not the little nanzy panzy dance party you are used to in Fargo...haha I had to.

[Mr Meaty]

If I can find a UN_ fan to over pay for my NDSU/UN_ tickets at the dome, I will use that money to go to the Griz game. I have 2 seats on the goal line northwest corner 5 rows up. $1,500 per seat for the UND game. This way they fund my trip to Missoula, make my team makers contribution and pay for my season tickets.

[56BISON73]

Talked to the NDSU ticket office today and he said their wont be many tickets left from NDSUs allocation after the coaches and players families. Staff etc etc etc.

[IzzyFlexion]

I'm pretty sure that ship has already sailed.
Wow! I didn't know Montana students were so bad ass compared to anywhere else!!

That is what I figured would happen. Unless we play FBS games we are at the other teams mercy for tickets!!! If I can't get seats through NDSU it will be an easy call to stay home and watch on TV and enjoy the Labor Day Weekend on the lake.

[loudsilverado]

Trying not to get too far ahead of myself, but if we don't get tix by a certain date, we aren't going.

[17>1]

I'm gonna do everything in my power to get into that game. What do people know about a SRO ticket situation there?

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I told you I would get you tickets if I have to give you mine. Quit worrying, if I didnt know you better......with that long hair I would think you were a chick.

You are going and you are bringing your better half. We are going to have fun whether you like it or not and beer will be cold.....Chill out

[56BISON73]

SRO is on a game by game basis and not known until one or two weeks before the game. They said they are also trying to get away from SRO because they really dont have room for a lot of people to stand around.

Thanks PL. I think Dad and I will approach this like a trip to Frisco. Make our reservations, get the vacation time in for work, check the tires and get an oil change for the van, and remember to pack my swimsuit. The ticket situation usually falls into place if a person just commits to going. SRO could get me into the door....and that's all I care about!!

I was afraid of that; FCS ticket allocations to the visiting team are pretty horrible. What do we know about single game tickets? Like NDSU where they are gone in minutes? That is route I was planning.

You do realize it isn't Labor Day weekend anymore right? The game got moved up to start the season on ESPN.

Also, I'm looking for tickets (4-5) if anyone has a line. Will try in July when they go on sale but am not banking on that.

They have a bigger stadium than NDSU; my goodness, I'd hope we can get tickets if we hammer the site right when they go on sale....

[westnodak93bison]

Just checked stubhub. Cheapest ticket is $225. This is their Super Bowl. Not sure about you guys but I don't like the idea of paying $450 for the wife and I to sit by ourselves amongst a bunch of obnoxious grizzly fans. Sad to say this may be my first year for a long time missing the biggest non conference road game. It's been a fun run. Three MN games, WYO, Colorado State, K-State, Iowa State twice. Looks like I missed the Jayhawks. Hopefully Iowa doesn't pull a Montana State.

[El_Chapo]

We aren't going because it's not a FBS game.
Minnesota Kansas Colorado St Minnesota Kansas State Iowa State.......epic fail scheduling. We are OUT

[MNLonghorn10]

I'm not going anyways, but lol@paying 4x the amount for an fcs road game than the fcs championship game.

I suppose Montana fans had to deal with this issue last year. Oh well. Much shorter drive home from the bar than Missoula

[tjbison]

bet your ass some of the Griz faithful will be looking to sell and make a buck

dont blame them though, just saying there will be NDSU fans in areas they would never think possible, with that I will not be attending either

Hey maybe we should start to make false claims of their fans are going to beat us up etc....like that wacko griz fan was doing to us last year, think he is PL's buddy

[bisonmike2]

I'm pretty sure I'll be in either Big Sky or Billings during his game. Wouldn't mind finding a watch party in Montana to catch the game.

[runtheoption]

Hoping my GRIZ-booster uncle can scrounge up some tickets. He asked "how many do you want?" I told him, "As many as you can get." Similar to Longhorn, I don't think we are willing to pay much (if any) over face value...I say that now, but if he comes at us with "I can you get you tickets for $50 a seat" much closer to the game and after a summer of talking about and looking forward to the season, I have a feeling we would go.

If not, tatemosersneighbor and I will be finding a bar in the Bad Medicine Lake area to watch the game.

Why has everyone given up on single game tickets? Pat mentioned quite a few posts ago that they will go on sale the 3rd Monday in July, and just like at NDSU, I plan to hammer that bad boy the second they go on sale. Is there reason to think this won't work? Can it be any worse than the current situation at NDSU? (for which I've always gotten the first game I go after)

Please share if you know more about this.

[EndZoneQB]

I'm planning on being in Missoula this weekend but likely won't attend the game unless we fall into tickets. My group largely backed out so planning on hitting Glacier and a few sights around the area.

This is my plan. Plan B is going with a handful of cash and finding the right seller.

IMO the best area for courses is up around Kalispell/Whitefish.

On the way to Missoula, the Old Works course near Anaconda is spectacular. Add in a partial day to take a drive up towards Georgetown Lake and you have a nice little getaway.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

If you like golf the Old Works in Anaconda is hard to beat when it comes to Montana courses, then like the previous poster said, up by Kalispell and Whitefish is your next best shot.

If Griz fans are really selling tickets for $225+ online they are being douchebags. You guys didnt make up the tickets you got my group last year and I plan on returning the favor for this game.

As an added bonus, if any of you are over in Missoula the week before and want to float the Blackfoot or Clearwater, let me know in a PM..........I am trying to wear out my new driftboat. I can fit 3+me for fishing, if you just want to float we can do 5 total.

[El_Chapo]

These griz fans are treating NDSU like the Patriots. ..oh wait. Yes I see now. There will only be 2000 ndsu fans. This isn't a FBS game!!

Anaconda is probably the best on the drive to Missoula, but if you would rather stop around Billings, Pryor Creek is pretty good. It is right off the interstate. It has 36 holes, 18 public and 18 private, but if you tell them you are from ND and want to play the North and West (the private part) they will let you. The guy who started the place made a policy that all people from out of state can play the private part if requested.

I'm so pissed, for the 2nd year in a row someone I know scheduled their wedding the day of the griz game. Last year I was able to at least make it for 3.25 quarters then rush home, shower, change and show up while the bride was making her way down the aisle. This year, no such luck.

The game was scheduled for the first wk in Sept. Then the game/date was changed.

Ditto this. Played in the MT Governors Cup last summer and played at Meadow Lake, Buffalo Hill, and Eagle Bend. Eagle Bend was the nicest but all three are great to play in the Flathead
Not this year. Buffalo Hills lost 27 greens this winter and Eagle Bend lost a couple I believe. Meadow Lake got pretty scorched too.

Scorched as in mild fall to sub zero temps with no snow cover followed by a ridiculously rainy winter. Fire would have been better.

There should be green grass by August though. Meadow lake is resodding greens. Buffalo hill is seeding.

Depending on your perspective, that's not necessarily true. While nobody may have paid for the actual tickets to have in hand, money has exchanged hands for the promise of tickets.

I sent money to a ticket broker in Montana that Fanette has been in contact with. There's probably a thread somewhere with the details, but he was asking $100 each for end zone seats with the possibility of upgrading to sideline seats for more money later.

He wont..hes full of shit...hahaha.

And for those of you planning on going with the idea to possibly get student section tickets. Be aware, its not set up like the NDSU student section, in designated rows and seats....Its basically just a huge section with no seats or even bleachers. Its a giant section of cement terraces. Also if youre planning on going with family or kids, a LOT of drinking and smoking weed takes place in the student section....its a pretty raucous crowd....not the little nanzy panzy dance party you are used to in Fargo...haha I had to.

I normally don't call people out, but I just have to say this. Just wondering what your point is here? Are you trying to prove that Griz students are more "badass" than Bison students? Or are you just trying to make some stupid joke? I can't figure it out. Talking about smoking pot in the student section? You know that doesn't happen, and you're a douche bag for even saying so. Some people (me in fact) have students at UM, and I for one don't appreciate someone talking shit and lumping my daughter in with people that would do that. She loves that she gets to go to the game for free, enjoy the game, and show her school spirit in the student section. I would appreciate it if you would just STFU with your bullshit.

I know BGF can defend himself, but his post is spot on.

The student section at MT is an "interesting" place to watch a game, the cops usually average about one to one and half 35 gallon rubbermaid garbage cans of confiscated hard alcohol bottles a game. The stuff that gets said around the student section even opens my eyes and I am un-offendable. If you sit through an entire game near the student section and do not smell pot you are the first one. All in all with the occasional fight that breaks out, shit*y language, streakers and drug use its a horrible place to sit if you really want to watch the game.

There is a reason the sheriffs office stations at least 2 officers at the top of the student section for each game.

I didnt take his post as bragging about pot or anything else, he was just warning any of you about taking your family and kids there, if you do you will hate the day.

This. I can also attest that there are students who smoke pot in this section too. Sat in it for three years myself before graduating, and now I'm glad I've got seats in the NEZ where I can really enjoy the game. Any Bison fans who happen to get tickets in the student section (guest passes) would be better to sit in the SEZ than in the student section if you want to enjoy the game.

Personally, I don't care what time the game is. That place should be rock'n no matter the time of day because the back to back to back to back champs are coming to Missoula. The last time NDSU was there, they left with a W. The last time we played the Griz, the score didn't reflect the domination NDSU displayed in another Griz loss. The team, their fans, their city should be pretty jacked up that the Bison are coming to town. Can't wait!!!

Back (slightly) to the topic at hand, besides Fanette's connection, and some really despicable prices on places like Stubhub, anyone got a line on tickets for the game? Also, how far out does NDSU put its allotment on sale? My dad handles ticket purchases from SU, but occasionally forgets to check if they're available. I figure it'll be a lottery again like the Iowa State game (which we got tickets to) so its an option if we haven't locked anything up by that point.

Thanks!

Thanks!Your chances of getting tickets from NDSU's allotment is about .02%. After the players and coaches take their cut of the tickets there will be very few left.

[FrozenTech]

Which is still better then zero, so you put the name in the hat, if you've got none. :) But you keep up that rhetoric, it might dissuade a few people and get me up to .05!

I highly doubt there will be any tickets available to the public from this "allotment". You are on your own for this one.

Montana is pretty much is the same situation we are - playing in front of a full house every week. They don't have large blocks to tickets to make available to the visiting teams beyond what is required by the NCAA.

your saying even teamakers with some good priority points wont have a chance?

[Bison Loaf]

I can't agree. The Bison got two (H & A) games with a storied FCS program. Yes, fans want to see the FBS games, but they (we) also want to see high octane games with other FCS powers in the regular season. Personally, I am looking forward to this game and will be driving across 3 states to enjoy it.

For perspective, there are two other OOC games on the schedule that could be replaced by an FBS game. Even so, one of those will be a complete and absolute joy to witness.

Well, we sure as hell wouldn't want NDSU to back out of the back end of a home-and-home either, but if you take that out of the equation, then, yeah, NDSU could get some decent money from a P5 school (assuming there was one willing to schedule NDSU.) The main problem for Bison fans with the Griz is that they are so popular that they sell out all their tickets. It's much easier to get tickets to most FBS venues.

That said, who in their right mind would turn down the opportunity to be the DI season opener against a playoff contender on national TV? What a great opportunity to showcase FCS football.

THE BANNER RAISING....don't want to miss that!:ranting:

[Bison Loaf]

He is partly right. I think ndsu would rather play an FBS for more money.

Technically true, but that was under the old template which was:
6 home games = 4 conference and 2 single game OOC FCS (most likely powder puffs willing to come in for a 1-time money game), with the other OOC game a regional FBS away game for cash (and what has turned out to be - wins ;)).

But since the FBS wont play us any more (see "wins" up above), and we can't seem to find enough OOC single game takers, the new template is almost required to be:
6 home games = 4 conference and 1 single game OOC FCS powder puff, and alternating home/home series with "decent" FCS teams for the other 2 OOC games (Weber & Montana last year and this).

In this new reality, Montana is definitely the type of team that we would want to play for one of those alternating home/home games.

If he doesn't have a ticket in August, he's camping out on Bresciani's door step!

If any of you are flying from Fgo to Missoula, watch your emails or texts. Our flight from Denver to Missoula was cancelled today, so quickly had to call & get on another flight. This was United.

If we can score some tickets we are driving out.

[NDSU1980]

Is it really going to be that fun to watch NDSU beat Weber State?

I sure hope so. That was my number 1 game for the single game Team Makers tickets. Figured I didn't have enough points for UN_ or UNI, and some of the other games will interfere with harvest.

[bisonfanette]

Re: Grizz tickets ~ Those of you who are on the list & pd by May 15th are in gd shape.
If anyone else would like endzone tickets, there may be a few more available, but his price will be slightly higher (because stubhub is at $240. for endzone.) No, he doesn't chg that much. Just send a PM if you would like info. I'll ck my messages tonite.

[wolfee2345]

Thanks Fanette for the info!

[Bison de Ville]

Great visiting with you, Fanette! Thanks again for the information, will have to meet up with you someday before a game!

[bisonfanette]

I've gotta run for an NDSU visit today... will get back to those who sent messages... later tonite.

Anyone heard any rumblings from the alumni association on their plans? Friday event? Parking?

[Mr Meaty]

June 15-30 online you can submit ticket requests , cost is $70 each and will be notified July 13. Awarded based on priority points.

[SDbison]

First you really don't have a chance at these tickets and then the Griz want $70 each. Really? None of the previous FBS game or FCS championship game tickets through NDSU have cost this much.

[MNLonghorn10]

Lulz. Yep. Fbs game is a hundred times better than this. And a hundred times better winning

its the mighty Griz, no team we have ever played can match the power and eliteness.......................

[MNLonghorn10]

The fizz haven't done shit since I was in high school.

Geography is such a killer for ndsu until you realize it, every place around the country has a ton of fbs games to potentially schedule that can host the ndsu fan base. Now you've got what you thought was an elite program in Montana pulling moves straight from the USD ticket office

I can get a free ticket to a game vs a tomato can? Oh wait, that's practically their entire conference schedule.

LOL where did you get your info from? I highly doubt that NDSU fans will be charged that much. If they are, then Griz fans are probably going to be charged just as much. Visiting fans never pay more than face value than what Griz fans do, unless you are getting your tickets from someone who already bought tickets and is looking to make some extra cash.

Thanks. I'm interested to see how much Griz fans will pay for tickets. How much were tickets for the game last year for Bison fans and Griz fans?

[THEsocalledfan]

After Kolpack's piece in the Forum, it sure sounded like NDSU will have more tickets than was first being reported. Figure if I got K St. tickets, I have a decent chance for these. Reality is those of us on this board are some of the only folks willing to travel this hard core.

I have no problem with $70 each since it is the closest thing to an FBS game we got and since I paid face plus 4 coach seats to Orlando last year for my seats in the EZ......

[Mr Meaty]

Thanks. I'm interested to see how much Griz fans will pay for tickets. How much were tickets for the game last year for Bison fans and Griz fans?

I do not remember but I can not imagine they were over $50.00. But hey this is a supply and demand world. Prices on stub hub are all over $200/ticket.

[bisonaudit]

It's not like they're charging people $50-$60 a pop to watch TUFKATFS.

[El_Chapo]

haha montana what a joke this game will be

[GetEmGriz]

So it sounds like tickets for this game are going to be the same prices we see for a Cat/Griz game... about $60ish per ticket. If that's the case, then $70 doesn't seem that far out of line especially with the fees that will be involved.

damn...that was a low blow putting NDSU on the same tier as those guys

[17>1]

I don't care what anyone says about FBS or ticket prices. Our 4 time national champion Bison are gonna be playing in front of a hostile crowd and against a team that would love to show the Bison up on their home turf, and I wouldn't miss that for anything...unless I couldn't get a ticket. This is gonna be a big time atmosphere, in front of a fan base that actually knows who and what the Bison are all about. We aren't going to have to deal with a bunch of Big12/10 fans on our board giving us crap because we play FCS football, and all the other garbage that comes with it. I'm sure the usual guys on this board that love the back and forth with those fools will miss that troll behavior. I won't miss it one bit.

Go Bison!!!

Meh, I prefer to let the Bison do the talking for me on the field. Always nice walking out of their stadium like we've been there before. Looking forward to doing the same in Missoula come August.

You bolded my quote about fans on our board. I don't go back and forth with them like many on here. I just sit back and watch the Bison beat their team, and that's good enough for me. I get what you meant, and I don't disagree with you. I love it just as much as anyone else when we do what we do on those big stages. But I don't need to come back on here and ask where all the big mouths went after the fact. That's my point I guess.

PS: I'm all hopped up on caffeine right now so I'm probably not making much sense, haha.

Very true. I'm personally looking forward to being there since I missed the last visit.

Same here. My friend and I were the only ones sitting in the back room at the Turf watching it that day.

Meh, first season with no FBS game since 2005. Booo!

$62. Just got the text.

[Mr Meaty]

On gobison.com under the ticket tab there is still no "my account" listed. Are they doing working on the site? I realize no tickets for sale right now on anything but wondering. If it was previously discussed here or in another thread I missed it, sorry.

They are transitioning the ticket part of the site to a new provider. Death to neulion!!! They said it would be up soon...but i would think it would have to be up and running by the 15th for the griz ticket requests.

You might be right.

The "my account" link is back, but when you click on it, says...

"ATTENTION ACCOUNT HOLDERS:
Account management through GoBison.com is being upgraded and will not be available until later this summer."



I sure hope later this summer means tomorrow at 8 am or there are going to be a lot of upset people.

Yeah but its not like they will miss out on anything. I seriously doubt many who put in an order tomorrow will get tickets.

It will be just like Frisco, you fill out a form and submit. We didn't log in to our accounts to request those tickets.

[Hammerhead]

You never know. I was able to get tickets to Colorado State and Kansas State and was around #3,200 in priority points.
