Annual 'complain about online ticket system' thread

[NDSUBowler]

Locked out on my browser. Was able to get through on my phone.

But...

1. Only 8 tickets MAX per account? What if I want to buy 2 tickets to each game?
2. Only 2 games are allowed to be put in your cart at once??

I was able to snag 2 to EWU and 2 to ISUr but by the time I completed that purchase, I was locked out of any other game.

The system is so ridiculously dumb.

They should allow 2 tickets per game.

I got sideline tickets to CSU! Now to figure out flights and stuff. My time is set by the microsoft sync server, and the tickets went on sale at 7:59:30 for me. I think that is why I got them so easily even though I'm in Mexico (further internet routing).

As of 8:04am when I tried to buy 2 more of any kind of ticket to CSU they were all sold out.

[Kingslayer]

Got on right away, bang. Right to SDSU game for 2 ticket, bang....nothing! Tried like 40 times...unable to secure seats...tried every single fing home game..nothing...
not spending a penny on this team this season I guess...glad I bought Vikings v Packers tickets! F this sh*T

Got into buy and selected delivery method and got a box that gave description but wouldn't let me go any further. so I couldn't get any tickets... I am coming up from South Carolina for eastern Washington game and at this point don't have any tickets.

[Bookem]

Got 3 for CSU then went to EWU and got in but wouldn't let me buy more than $40 worth total, is there some dollar cap they didn't advertise?

[NDSU]

Got 4 reserved to SDSU and 2 SRO to YSU. No CSU for me...

[bisonmike2]

Replaced my old credit card with a new one. Their system loaded the old one. Tried to add my new one 3 times and it didn't take. Missed out on tickets to SDSU and Indiana State that I had in my cart.

[gobison#6]

Got two to SDSU and two to Charleston Southern. Logged on early and refreshed right at 8. My buddy logged on at 6:30 and waited for it to open up and didn't get a thing.

[Twentysix]

Great system, very happy. :biggrin:

yep...same here...nothin'

[Green1]

Tried right at 8 a.m. for either CSU, EWU, Youngstown or Indiana St. No luck for any. Could not get through by phone either. Disappointed...

[BisonHorns]

yep...same here...nothin'

Tried like crazy right at 8. Baffled by people who got more than one game when it is impossible to get through once.

[tony]

Gone in 90 Seconds.

[Hammerhead]

Signed in about 20 minutes early to make sure account info was all good and updated my credit card. Then tried logging in with a 2nd browser (something I always do when trying to buy tickets for popular events like the Garth Brooks concert) around 7:55 CDT and couldn't even login on that one I did manage to get 4 tickets to YSU. Then went to pick tickets for another game and wasn't able to get 4 tickets so I just went with the YSU game.

[Kingslayer]

Tried like crazy right at 8. Baffled by people who got more than one game when it is impossible to get through once.
Right!?? WTF...

[TNbison]

Picked up 4 endzone for YSU and have 4 for ISUr from TM buying. From here on out the free market decides who pays to go to the game. I'll sell all of mine for $250 a pop...

[bisonp]

Got my 4 for EWU endzone which were my first choice. No waiting room this year, so that's an improvement.

I updated my credit card earlier this morning. Sounds like it's a good thing I did.

Impossible for them to make everybody happy, the Fargodome is simply too frickin' small. I wonder how many sales they are losing.

[kristind]

Agreed. I was online at 7:45am and refreshed the browser leading up to 8am so I was able to try and find tickets immediately when they became available and still nothing....same as last year...If there weren't so many other people who had the same experience I'd assume I was doing something wrong somehow....

Not enough to finance a new facility.

[Kingslayer]

Im guessing they set aside a certain number of tickets for walk up buyers? They must, because they wouldnt get a damn thing otherwise.

[Twentysix]

My same thoughts.

If only every single person on the North Dakota State Bison facebook page donated $5,000.00 we could build a new dome, bigger and better than ever.

[TNbison]

Gone in 90 Seconds.

Is that the official time?! I know it sucks for people who didn't get any. But that is awesome. A lot of teams in the FCS can't give away their tickets. We have something amazing here.

[BisonFanAnn]

Logged in early and updated my credit card info. Refreshed repeatedly around 8 - and got right in! 4 tix for Charleston Southern! Hooray!

Then came the checkout process. It didn't see my account for some reason, and asked me to register for a new account. I verified that I was logged in, but I was sent to "new account". By the time I got all the info entered for a new account, I had timed out, and my cart was empty.

Suckity suck suck suck.

[tjbison]

Love the hate...my God people there are 3 avenues to get tickets, phone, Internet and walk up.

All 3 of them left people walking away empty handed, how do people want them to handle it any better when the demand is higher than supply?

[Thundering Herd]

4 for Indiana state, 3 for Illinois state-boom!

[bisonp]

Not enough to finance a new facility.

I'm sure not, unfortunately. The high demand allows them to charge relatively high prices which somewhat makes up for the lack of capacity.

[bisonmike2]

Sucks but not worried. My wife got 2 games, EWU and Indiana State. Can't make it to Coastal Carolina or Youngstown. We'll find tickets to the other games somehow. I wish the FFD was bigger and it was easier to get tickets but I'd prefer a little struggle to get tickets if it means a pack house and passionate fans then the days of old when you could walk up and buy 10 tickets 5 minutes before the game.

Shit, my bad. Been reading too many McFeely tweets lately he must of subconsciously put that in my brain.

[Mr Meaty]

Not sure if this belongs in this thread. I have been saying for years that the ticket price is too low. Now I know I will get some push back on this. They have taken the sets to increase TM fees and I am ok with that. I have to pay them and I also think my section could be higher for TM dues. But all tickets are virtually the same price and that not the norm. Does a TM fee increase do more good for NDSU than an increase in ticket prices? Yes I know TM fees helps support the student athletes but I wondering if "artificially" keeping ticket price lower than what the market would pay is a smart thing.
OK all experts out there let me have it.

I've certainly wondered the same, but am pretty clueless on the advantages; disadvantages.

If only we could tax every ridiculous statement of Rob Port, we'd have a new facility in no time.

[MankatoBison]

There just isn't any demand for a bigger stadium. It would be empty all the time. Much rather have a full 19k stadium than an empty 25k. No exceptions. Too expensive. Let's go back to D2 please.

if you cant tell, I'm mad that I didn't get any tickets. Had a work meeting that was supposed to end at 8... ended at 840. Kill me.

[Hammerhead]

I thought those were just unsold student tickets, unused tickets from the visiting team's allotment, or standing room only. Even the single-game tickets we got through Team Makers last year were near the top of the end zone in rows GG and HH.

I know that's purple, but that kind of thinking is pretty pervasive in college sports. It's why the SHAC is the size it is. I prefer facilities that are sized to accommodate the largest games instead of the smallest, but that's a minority opinion today.

[Mr Meaty]

I guess I was looking at the from NDSU side. Yes most season ticket holders would rather make a TM "donation" than pay a large ticket price. But when it comes to these single game tickets they could get more for them. But then again there probably not many tickets for sale anyways to make a difference.

[Mr Meaty]

For those who did not get tickets. Go to the away school's website and see if you can get any from there? A lot of schools don't travel that well. Also remember the week of the game tickets become available also.

[BisonAccountant44]

How many tickets were even available today? It can't be much. We've got what 18,900 available per game? 12,500 (or is it 11.5?) season tickets, 3-4k student tickets, 250-500 (?) players family, 250-500 (?) visiting team allotment etc. That leaves less than 2k per game before the TM single game sale from a couple weeks ago.

I'd be surprised if there were 1,000 per game that were available today.

[NDSUBowler]

Did anyone wait in line? If so, how long was it?

I debated doing that but since it's a Monday, I didn't want to have to work all day on no sleep unless I was 100% gtd tickets. Last year I got there at 5am and missed all the games except the USD game.

[BisonTru]

IIRC, it was 1600 tickets available for single game sales before they started the TM's request for some of these tickets. Just guessing, but it could be 800 reserved for TMs, and 800 tickets available this morning.

I struck out this morning. It's cool to see us sell out this quickly, but it sucks that I only have tickets to Iowa. Thinking about going to SD this year if I can't find any other tickets. I don't care if you make a large profit, please don't let seats go empty.

[BisonAccountant44]

Well I think I'll have 6 seats available in the exchange at some point during the year to help someone out, but I won't know which games they'll be until the guy I split our season tickets with decides which games he wants. I'm guessing it will be 2 for YSU and 4 for ISUb, but I could be wrong.

[tony]

When demand exceeds supply by 10x or so, there are going to be a lot of unhappy folks.

There's always stubhub.

Hi! Keep me in mind! Looking for those 2 games.

[scbison91]

[scbison91]

For those who did not get tickets. Go to the away school's website and see if you can get any from there? A lot of schools don't travel that well. Also remember the week of the game tickets become available also. went to eastern washingont website and only away game not on site is NDSU.. All other games are listed and can look for tickets.. I guess they found out what we do.

[devin45k]

The "max" thing isn't exactly the max all of the time. I scored like 23 tickets 2 years ago. Yeah, I shouldn't have said anything after because some of my friends were real salty about it.


The complaining is dumb. The demand for the amount available is nuts. If half the people complaining would donate a dime to NDSU, then maybe we would have a bigger stadium to play in.

[Mr Meaty]

That is priceless. Early bird does not get the worm there.

I totally get that viewpoint of build a venue for the smallest crowd- but it's time we realize that NDSU's smallest crowd is very realistically somewhere around 22-23k. The nay-sayers cannot convince me that the MAJORITY of those who would like to be able to go to games, are able to get them in the half hour they're online on August 1 each year. Pathetic.
How many people on here would go to more games, if only they had tickets available? I know I wanted to go to 3 games this year and will go to 0.

We have a great, great stadium. One of, if not the best in the FCS. But it's too small by about 20% pretty easily- probably more.

None of this is wrong, but its not enough to pay for a new facility.

The next five years I think we could get the funds together somehow. If we cant during this amazing title streak then we never will. Or maybe 60 plus years down the road when I'm dead...

[BisonTru]

There's always stubhub.

There's actually a couple of season tickets listed, now. There's two seats row 2, about 40 yard line. Considering what they would need for a TM donation and the price of the tickets, they are listed lower than what they are into them for. A little too much for me to bite, but if someone wants some good seats all season they are available.

Several thousand ticket sales lost for the lesser MVFC games and same for any cupcake non conference (not applicable this year). As for the bigger games somewhere between 5 and 10 thousand ticket sales lost. Just ridiculous NDSU choking growth with a 19,000 seat facility and no plans for growth in the next 20 years. Any other place USA would be adding on with this kind of demand.

My favorite part is how they wait, wait, wait, realize no one care about their team, then let us buy the week of the game, and don't sell out the venue due to incompetence.

I'm not sure how much the level of competence in their ticketing department has to do with them selling out or not.

[BISON Thunder]

"Tip of the cap" to NDSU and fans...another sold out home football schedule. Incredible.

[THEsocalledfan]

I'm not sure how much the level of competence in their ticketing department has to do with them selling out or not.

Many NDSU fans did not make the trip last time as they did not want to plan the trip last minute. No doubt in my mind that game sells out except for incompetence.

New online ticketing system is way better than the old one.

Same limited supply remains the issue.

[Professor Chaos]

I think what more NDSU fans have to realize is that tickets are more readily available on the secondary market than they ever have been before due to the increased demand. If you watch Stubhub, the ticket exchange here on Bisonville, or the ticket exchange on the alumni website tickets can be had for prices that aren't that outrageous (except for probably the home opener and homecoming). You just have to be patient. I realize that's not ideal but it's really not that much different than other football tickets, both professional and college, where perennially good teams increase demand to the point where the secondary market is the only option for most non-season ticket holders.

[El_Chapo]

there will be tickets on gameday in the lots or craigslist, just chill out your haters.

Oh once again, NDSU could EASILY sell out a 45,000 seat stadium.

[bisonfanette]

This is simply a "Take it or Leave it" comment ~ If anyone wants 4-8 tickets for Charleston Southern or EWU (4 together) I know of ppl who are selling some of theirs, but they are higher priced. Less than StubHub prices & definitely lower seats. North endzone. Like I said, this is not for everyone. Send a pm for info. Now, back to the title of this thread.

[FrozenTech]

North Endzone down low is my turf :). It's an aquired taste but it's a fun way to watch football. If you do take em don't be afraid to be loud and proud. Don't worry about the nice old lady in 9b. She wears ear plugs so she can read while her husband enjoys the game. Takes all kinds.

[StL Bison Fan]

We have an earplug dispener inthe bus. Feel free to stop by and get a pair

Greetings All,
I have been reading bisonville for a few years now just never taken the time to register or post anything but figures this was a good enough reason because I had a question that maybe some on here may be dealing with as well. I graduated in 2014 and began donating to TM at that time, with that I managed to score 6 total tix before they went on sale Monday. (4 to SDSU and 2 to ISU blue). Naturally wanting to go to as many games as possible I hopped on Monday and was lucky enough to grab an additional 4 tix to the Youngstown state game which brings me to my main question. They mentioned a max of 8 tickets per account, does anyone think they will downgrade my purchase of 4 Youngstown state tix to 2 tickets since I previously purchased 6 total tickets through the team makers allotment prior to general public ticket sales?? They have already charged me for the 4 Youngstown state tickets so I'm hoping I managed to grab a total of 10 tickets between the TM pre-sales and Monday's purchase.

I doubt the ticketing system is that smart. Last year I got tickets for two games through Team Makers and this year I only got tickets for one game, but at least it was my first choice and I managed to get tickets for YSU which was my second choice based on the time of year.

So this may be a rookie question, but does anyone know what their process will be for the NDSU game. Popped on again today and it still says all other games go on sale Monday, NDSU Is listed as TBD. Did they go on sale closer to game day 2 years ago?

Whichever game has the least sales they will probably do a package deal to get ndsu tickets.

If you are buying the tickets just to try to resell them at a profit, you don't deserve the tickets in the first place. A true fan would never do this. A true fan would buy the ticket to go to the game.

My ass. If we play next Friday night and I can't make it, my tickets will be on Stubhub by Monday morning with the intent of helping me going to the semis for free.

[Bison 4 Life]

if you worked hard enough to get the tickets, you deserve to wipe your ass with them if you want.

[1998braves64]

Apparently NCAA is cracking down on selling tickets in the east lobby. FD usher came up and said I just need to warn you aren't supposed to sell inside. NCAA requirements, was nice enough to find out how much and where it was and said he'd send them outside if someone came looking. Normally they're all over trying to help us "scalpers" out.

The Fargodome prohibits selling tickets on Fargodome property, so it's not just the NCAA. Just depends on how much they want to enforce it.

Yeah, much like the alcohol prohibited a decade plus ago in the what now are the tailgate lots. But they could if they wanted to.

I am 0-2 in two consecutive weeks of trying for tickets. Apparently watching the screen refresh and trying for tickets in the first 0.2 seconds is a bad idea. Wasn't there a 4 ticket limit last year?

[HerdistheWord]

The only thing that truly ticks me off is the amount of tickets on stubhub. I hate when people exploit other people.

Ya, that's what TSCF was doing :facepalm: I hate it when he does that! :biggrin:
3 BVillers posted on the other thread that they got in, & I heard of another person, but that was within seconds.
Looks as tho the students have until Tuesday at 4:pm to get their tickets (by purchasing at the Bison Ticket Office or at the Union.)
Hopefully they will take more tickets for THIS game! We need those students to be loud!

What is on there 40 tickets? Who cares
And to call it exploiting is a bit overboard

To use selfishly for one's own end? I would say buying tickets up from people who actually want to go to the game for one's own profit is the exact correct explanation for this. I am not mad about gobison. There is only so much they can do. I hate these ticket exploiters.

When I bought tickets last week, I think there was some kind of warning about not being signed into your account on multiple devices.

I suppose that NDSU could charge more, cutting into the exploiters profits, drive the middle men out of business and as a result, make exactly the same number of tickets available to the general public at essentially the same price paid on the secondary market today, while simultaneously taking on all of the market risks themselves.

Or are they people who cant go to the game and are selling them at what the current market will bear??

So a question for you? With the TM dues and the price of tickets they cost me 156.00 a game. If I sell them for that am I exploiting????

[td577]

The only thing that truly ticks me off is the amount of tickets on stubhub. I hate when people exploit other people.

The tickets belong to them, they can do what they want to with them. You have a tool at your disposal, you don't buy them.

I hate when the next buyer of an item feels exploited when anything increases in value. Why should tickets be considered any different than anything else of any value. Let's say you bought an ounce of gold in 1970 for around $40. With inflation, I should be able to buy that from you for around $250 today because anything more would be exploiting, right? We will ignore the market value is close to $1200 now, our transaction should be based on what you paid for it.

Exploiting would be having the only available source of drinking water and charging $1000 a gallon. Football tickets are a luxury item. They are not subject to any discussion about exploitation. The seller is still the one taking all the risk. The price they are selling at is the predicted market value. They could end up not selling at all and stuck with the tickets they bought. Lastly, what do you think it had cost to be in a position today to have tickets to sell? When you consider face value, plus direct surcharges, AND then figure in the indirect expenses to have tickets available for sale before they are for sale to the general public, the difference between the actual cost to the seller and what they are selling them at is probably not that much of a difference. Either way, even if they are making some serious coin on the transaction, it is still their prerogative. They have the tickets, you don't.

[HerdistheWord]

I am not talking about team makers. You should sell those for what you pay if you cannot go. That is fair. I am talking about the guys that scoop up $30-$40 tickets with no intent to go to the game solely to make a profit by selling them to the people who should have had access to the original $30-$40 tickets. That should have been clear in my post. Also, look up the definition of exploiting. It very much fits. Free market would apply if these guys made the tickets, but they didn't. They vultured someone else's product. Last week there were no tickets in stubhub until after gobison had sold out. Wonder where those tickets came from...

[td577]

The guy on the short end always wants to redefine how the market works. Poor me, I didn't get a NES Classic for $59.99 and the only way I am going to get one for Christmas is to buy one for $299.00 on eBay. The system is designed to reward those who really want it. You stand in line for 4 days. Otherwise, you take your chances and hope you get an opportunity to buy at face value. If you don't, you are at the mercy of the market, no matter how people in the market got the product in the first place. Again, these are luxury items, there is no exploitation. You don't have to go to the game. The market is feasting on your belief you think you do. Once the tickets are in someone else's hands, you are now at their mercy. I am also not sure how you are suggesting someone had special access to tickets when you didn't. I often buy tickets to events I have no intention on attending with the strategy to sell. I have never used any method of buying that was unavailable to anyone else. If that makes me a bad guy, so be it. It certainly doesn't mean I am exploiting anything. The second going to a game is a matter of life or death and you pay over face value for a ticket, then we can talk about being exploited.

[stevdock]

For those that don't have tickets yet, sections 10-12 will go on sale on Wednesday. I don't have tickets yet but have never had a problem getting into a playoff game.

[Christopher Moen]

Personally, I found it is easier to sell Bison tickets than give them away. Case in point; I had a ticket for Youngstown and due to a scheduling conflict with work, I all of a sudden couldn't attend. I went to the Ticket thread on the Other Topics to see if anyone needed the ticket. There were a few looking for Youngstown tickets, so I offered the ticket to them free of charge. After a few weeks of not getting a response, I pulled my offer and put the ticket on Stubhub. Ticket sold pretty quick for for $150. After Stubhub's fees, I made a profit of $105.

This right here. I can rarely get 4 tickets together, and I am tickled I did for this next game and can bring my daughters. They are so excited!

The other benefit of this system is you can often get tickets BELOW face value using this method. I have attended several Colts games, a couple Pacer games, and a few Indy 500s and never paid more than face value for a ticket. I even attended the 2010 NCAA Championship game (Duke beat Butler) for $10! I was up in the nosebleed and it was a single ticket, but it was fun being there. I probably wouldn't have paid more than $10 for that seat.

They did with Garth brooks concert?? Or are those scanners on loan from Garth? Worked like a charm! Looked like the same scanners they're using now. My guess is the ticket needs to have the scannable QR (or whatever it's called) code instead of the line bar code.



Also did the phone scan tickets for my airplane flight from Winnipeg to Montreal this last summer going to visit in laws. That's pretty slick deal too.

It's not quite as quick with will call during the playoffs, but I never have any problem walking around to the East side to get in. Our seats are on that sideline so I have to walk around one way or another anyway, but with everyone else trying to get in on the West side from the tailgate lot and the line going across the street I don't even try there. I don't think I had to wait for more than 2 people to get in before me in the regular season, and if there is a line this time of year you're inside. Sometimes you can get next to the student line on the South side too, but that's more hit or miss.

I think it would be nice to have some of the playoff tickets go to Team Makers without season tickets before going on sale to the general public. This could help increase participation and awareness of Team Makers. Even if they just started with a few at least gives another benefit of being a Team Makers.

I hope all of you are watching the ticket exchange forum, there are tickets for sale right now and I would guess a few more to come before game time, there always is.

[MontanaHoyt]

Anybody else have trouble tonight? The system froze me out

[EC8CH]

1 got 3 in the endzone row dd

[Hammerhead]

I got the same two seats we did for the first playoff game last year so my "ancient Chinese secret" to getting tickets must work. :) When I finished paying and went back to see if there were more tickets at around 6:02, there was a message that the site wasn't available although it did load on the 2nd try, but there were no more tickets.

[Mr Meaty]

Got my tickets

[NDSU1980]

Worked perfect for me on the first try. Had 4 bought by 6:03. You lucky guys get to see the stache at tailgating again.

[Swaghook]

Had trouble with Firefox 2 minutes out but switched to Chrome and no troubles in for 3 right away.

Update I did get 2 in Section 5

[Hammerhead]

Unclaimed season tickets are now on sale. I searched for the best available and there were two in section 10 (end zone) in row F.

[HerdBot]

There are still tickets left online in the endzone in section 12.

30 bucks each
Www.Gobison.com/tickets

[Gully]

Yikes!

Does Mike from Sioux Falls have tickets yet? :)

[Hammerhead]

Still showing tickets in section 15 row EE at 10:23 PM on the 25th. C'mon people! We need a sellout.

These are/were the student section that they normally put up for sale when playoff time comes around. If they are putting section 15 up for sale also there will be very few college kids at the game compared to normal.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the students had to WALK to the Union to get their playoff ticket? :hide:
(Rather than simply getting it online linked to their student ID.)

that and students get out of town and go home asap after last class. its a hectic week

[IBleedYellow]

So

I bought 2 tickets in Section 16?

That'll work....

[HerdBot]

still some good tickets left, grab them before they are gone

[tjbison]

Still have visitor returns coming up Friday also, guessing there will be 300 or more there also

Doubt the team coming in will help sales though, people will remember last year

[HerdBot]

checked this morning... they are selling unclaimed student tickets, pretty good sideline spots available. Would imagine they won't last long but grab while you can

section 14 HH

[Faron79]

This is kinda personally embarrassing, but my ticket will be in a handicap-seating area. My Wife & Daughter got 2 higher-up Tix days ago, & somehow secured me a HC seat.

I actually NEED the HC seat. This Nov. 2nd, I had flat-foot surgery, & 3 screws had to be used to recreate an arch! My foot had to be turned back inward some too. The PTT tendon had ruptured at some point as well, which he doesn't see very often, the Surgeon said!! Sooooooo....I'm non-weightbearing 'til mid-December. I'll be wheeling around the Dome on my knee-bike & cast, yelling like the NUT I am!!

I never question who is using handicap areas. Sometimes the handicap is not noticeable but real. Now, the old coot who was by himself and used the 'pregnant woman' parking space at family fare- fraud

Very good point.

Probably.

[Kingslayer]

how the hell are there still tickets left!?

[Mr Meaty]

how the hell are there still tickets left!?

Deer Season (crap that is over)
Students on break (crap they are back in school)
Corp sponsors not buying tickets up (that is SDSU)

But yes how are there still tickets available. Where are all the people who complain about never being able to get tickets to a game. Playoff games are more fun than regular season. Get your tickets today and cheer loud on Saturday.

[DIBISON]

how the hell are there still tickets left!?

It's only Monday and they just went on sale?

[Kingslayer]

It's only Monday and they just went on sale?
they are usually gone the same day as on sale. which was Saturday Morning?

[Faron79]

We got ours a few days ago.... whenever they first went on sale @ 6pm....

[bisonfanette]

We always seem to lose some student participation during the playoffs, whenever they have to purchase tickets, & of course by the deadline b/4 Thanksgiving break. Just gets busy at that time.

[Hammerhead]

I don't want to hear people complaining the Fargodome is too small when you can still get 4 seats together. :(

[Faron79]

Good point Hammer!!

I hope I have to buy TWO games of Handicap single tix!!! After that (on Dec. 13), I get my cast off. Then, it's into a walking CAM-boot for a couple weeks. Hope I don't have to climb too high on Dec 15/16 wearing that boot?!?!?!?:ranting:

The next couple games will be harder to get tix for obviously.

With all the metal bits in me now (new Total Left Knee, 9/2014; Right shoulder Rotator-Cuff surgery with Bicep-Tendon relocation (4 small anchors), this April; & the "3 screws in my Right foot", this Nov. 2nd).....
>>>> I hope the Fargodome doesn't install METAL detectors!!!!!! I'll have to get there EARLY??!?! LOL! :innocent:

[bisonfanette]

You can all breathe easier now... looks like the tickets are SOLD OUT!!! :cheers: (Diet Coke)

[Hammerhead]

Did a corporate sponsor buy the leftovers to make sure no San Diego fans get them? [purplefont]

You can't even get one seat now, the game is sold out. If the visiting team returns any tickets they will go on sale Wednesday night at 8 PM.

[Faron79]

Not that it matters at all, but I wonder if there will even be 12 Tereros fans there!? I can't remember how many there were last year? Is there a way to know how many they bought from their allotment, & then turned back in?

[MontanaHoyt]

Unfortunately, by the start of next season Metal Detectors will be installed. They had story on the Channel 11 a few weeks ago about it. It's already slow enough as it is getting in there, now it is going to be even slower next season.

If I remember right it didn't say they would use them for every event though. There are just some acts that are starting to require it for them to perform.

They said they are testing them during smaller events so they are ready for the 2018 Bison Football Season.

[Faron79]

I remembered that story soon after I posted. Oh my....I'll probably get pulled aside and "wanded" then?!?

Well, I guess I'm used to it!:ranting::innocent:

[Hammerhead]

I'm OK with getting searched on the way in if they still don't keep the bottle cap when you buy a bottle of pop or pour the bottle into a paper cup like they did at the Nickelback concert in Bismark last summer. Yes, I was wearing Jorts to the concert so I'm like a walking College Gameday sign. :)

They used the metal detectors at the Hawk's Nest and it definitely slowed the entrance of the fans. We had pretty good attendance this year but not like yours. The tailgaters will have to learn to get in earlier or be late for the start of the game.

The crowd better freakin bring energy tomorrow. Idc if we don't completely sell out and I don't care who we are playing, I'm getting tired of these entitled crowds. We aren't the defending champs anymore, it's time to crank this thing back up for another run.

[Faron79]

Damn straight BisonLaw!!

I was ranting here somewhere about that a couple days ago. It hasn't been as loud this year. I've been REAL pissed! I'm usually pretty hoarse, unless we're way ahead. Friggin' people now are mainly texting or visiting. Just not "into" the game as VISCERALLY anymore. There needs to be a deafening HEAVY wall of sound in there people!!!! I can yell/roar pretty GODDAMN LOUD.....just ask my Wife!

I'll be in sec 26, row H, handicap/concourse level H, on my knee scooter, screaming my ass off. I'm bringing MY noise! I hope a few others do!!!!!!!

GO BISON!!!!!

Parent section. That’s because during playoffs not all Fb players get family tickets. Approx 60 players get tickets for the playoff games. I’m just surprised they weren’t able to release those seats earlier...

[EC8CH]

Game looked packed to me considering there were at least a few tickets available earlier that day online.
