2019 season tickets

[Burrows]

Got my form today, same price as last year but 6 home games instead of 7! So an increase of $80 I would say per ticket.

Any that means you will not buy this year??? Just write the check and don’t worry about it.

It was convenient to raise the ticket cost last year and cite 7 home games as the reason. I remember telling everybody that it would never go down.

A 35% increase this year seems about right due to our rampant inflation.

It’s still worth the cost. I’ll let y’all know when I reach my decision point.

But the government says there is very little inflation and printing trillions of dollars has no impact <purple>

[Bison"FANatic"]

Have to make up for the sharp decrease in basketball tickets somehow. Sorta purple.

Demand is definitely still there but apathy is starting to set in and not just with the students.

If you are looking for a "bargain" you can buy UN_ season tickets and get 6 games for $97.

For those people who are on a tight budget----Remember---You dont have to pay all of the TM dues at one time. You can call Josh or Kay and they can
set you up on a payment plan. Then can do automatic withdrawl with a credit card or bank account or any other arrangements you want to make. So dont panic.

Pay for the tickets first. Then do payments on the TM dues if you have to.

As long as there is a waiting list for tickets, apathy has not set in. What has set in though is people assume that if they don't have season tickets or a "source" to get some then going to games is impossible. Hardcore fans know that is not true, the general public believes it is a fact of life though.

[BattleBorn]

I put in my annual guaranteed-to-fail request. At least it's not hard to get single game tickets, with a little effort.

There are probably so many memberships above $ 5000 they don't have the available spots for complementary passes.

Probably the businesses, my section 20 is mostly businesses and they give there seats to employees. So I go too every game and there seats are better then mine.

Good point. That would not surprise me.

Re: the football schedule... we have a home game on ND deer opening weekend.
Sat. Nov. 9th - Home game with Western Illinois.
That might be a good game to see if any season tickets holders would like to donate a ticket or two to an area Veteran.
We may find DEER HUNTING season ticket holders who would like to do this, along with the non-deer hunters who may have a ticket to donate.
Last year 140 tickets were donated/purchased, but that was during a play-off game. I have to think about this.

[slips]

I was able to add season tickets this year for the first time ever. There had to be a lot of season tickets out there if there were still season tickets left after going through all the current season ticket holders who had additional requests in.

One would also think the tax deduction changes are also having an effect that will need to be worked through.

It'll be ok. I'll still find my way inside the dome.

[BattleBorn]

I've never had a problem getting into the Dome, but the few times I've sat in premium seats (thanks CAS!), it's just a different experience. It's interesting that I could get club seat season tickets to the Vikings for less (and more games). This is not me complaining, just a comment on what an amazing thing NDSU has built up here.

I gotta decide today. If I end up pulling the trigger, I'll have a couple of games I cannot attend...

[Professor Chaos]

I know I'm making a tired argument but part of that is self-imposed due to the demand. First, the price to get seats has increased so much due to demand that many people just don't want to drop that kind of cash. Second, a lot of fans have become accustomed to watching games on TV because they didn't want to put in the effort of having/getting tickets. Now that they're used to that they're not going to go out of their way to get tickets especially with the prices mentioned in my first point.

5 years ago I would've bet plenty of money on the fact that they could consistently sell out a 25,000 seat venue similar to the Fargodome and occasionally sold out a 30,000 seat venue similar to the Fargodome for a premium opponent. Now, I'm not so sure that they could sell out a 25,000 seat stadium for someone like SDSU without a pretty significant price reduction.

Could be I was just wrong all along but I'd agree that the demand isn't there right now for much bigger of a venue that what we have at the current prices.

Well when you build a bigger venue there will be cheaper tickets until the demand makes you increase those again. I wouldn't expect them to try to sell out a bigger venue at current prices. That's the way supply and demand works.

[Professor Chaos]

I wouldn't assume that a new bigger venue would mean lower ticket prices. It may mean more tickets at the lower price points but I doubt the premium tickets they're going down the line trying to sell now would be any cheaper.

[Bisonator98]

Yeah that's what I'm saying. With a bigger venue there will be more premium seating that they can sell at lower prices until demand catches up again. I'm not saying they are going to reduce pricing on the seats they sell now in the dome. I'm saying there will be more of those similar seats available at lower prices......if that makes sense. Hard to put into words.

If the season tickets seats that are left are in the big money areas, I would hope TM has reached out to those people/business that can more readily afford them.

[EC8CH]

If you build it, they will come. Demand isn't as high right now because many people don't try to get tickets because of the lack of supply (me for example this year not requesting think I didn't have a shot anyway). Build a bigger venue with more available seating and you won't have this problem.

Good Luck.

"Presuming primarily permanent steel or concrete structure (not a bleacher stadium) for an NCAA Division I program (with suites, club seats, premium seating, premium hospitality, ample player amenities, ample fan amenities - but not a full or retractable roof) you can use $3,000 to $5,000 USD a seat as a “ballpark” estimate. That’s a rough start, but it’s a vague ask with little details. If you want to go Middle-of-the-road then you start with this: (50,000 seats) x ($3,500 / seat) = $175,000,000. The more SF and/or seats, the cost per SF value slightly decreases where the reverse slightly increases. Decrease in program, amenities, finishes and structural system (bleachers in lieu of some or all of the stadium) also has a decrease in cost.
You can spend a lot more, but not much less."

At least according to the article that is for a "Middle-of the-road" stadium. We wouldn't have to go all CSU $ 220 million for a 41,500 stadium, but if it gets built build it right and not looking sterile and cheap.

[scottietohottie]

If that banner keeps getting bigger they'll have to expand the Fargodome just so it doesn't touch the ground.

[GreenfieldBison]

According to Wikipedia TCF Bank stadium was constructed in 2009 for $303M. Roughly $368M in 2018 dollars. They had a LARGE donation from the Mdewauketon Sioux nation to defray part of this cost. Of course this would have required all union labor and have the complications of logistics in a busy metro environment that likely inflated costs a bit.

Seating capacity is listed as 50,800 or so with expansion capability to 80k

[AKBison]

TCF is a jewel of a stadium and is the new standard for a P5 type stadium built from scratch so it's hard to compare it to whats needed in Fargo. Unfortunately for us we need a dome, especially if we plan to stay in FCS or are going to bet that the G5 eventually has a playoff that we can move up to. Hopefully ADML keeps cranking out facility projects and gets softball finished, the IPF built, the BSA situation fixed, and the track facilities finally up to snuff. Until the deck is cleared, we can't even pretend to turn our focus to Football's future home.

[VirginiaBison]

Get your Tickets .... !

OUR TAKE: The national narrative surrounding the 2019 Bison is this team isn't going anywhere when it comes to the national title picture. Interestingly enough, the narrative in Fargo seems to be that people nationally are doubting the Bison. But we have yet to see anyone say NDSU is going to have a massive dropoff this year. Yes, HERO Sports ranked the Bison No. 2 in our preseason poll (https://herosports.com/fcs/football-2019-hero-sports-preseason-top-25-fcs-ajaj) behind James Madison. In our predictive method of voting, that means we expect this team to return to Frisco despite all the new faces in the starting lineup and on the coaching staff.

A dome is needed; a day or night in December; the goofs have a fan base which the Bison don't. Keep it indoors or you won't see my grandsons or me there in December. You can take your December outdoor football and shove it. Don't forget about Grandpa and Grandma Donor who don't like the cold.

Nice work Vet. Obviously they draw on a large metro population with many alums but I wonder what those numbers would look like if they put an NDSU like product on the field. Maybe we’ll find out soon.

I drove up to Fargo every weekend last December since my ManCave2.0 project was not yet ready for prime time. I’m not sure I would have done that for the MSU and Colgate games if it was going to be topless but who knows? I get pretty rabid by the start of December...

The Gophers were pretty excited to move to the Metrodome. Claimed it would help recruiting. I'm not sure if it did, but it does seem they took a step back when they moved into TCF.

Vet's numbers are deceiving because that was announced attendance. Actual butts in seats only averaged 22,656 for 2018. 5 out of 7 games were less than half capacity.

You find the same discrepancy between announced attendance and scanned tickets in Lincoln. Certainly weather is less of a factor there although the locals may well be sensitive to it.

Makes me wonder though if those numbers more closely align in both Lincoln and Minneapolis if either program were to deliver an on field product similar to the Bison. I lived in Lincoln from 1967 - 1971 and I was fortunate enough to get student tix for those home games. I can tell you that period the stands were full at Memorial Stadium, rain or shine.

It seems like we have lost some of our "it" factor. I apply for season tickets every year never expecting a call, this year I get the call and there are lots of options. A new football stadium is likely nowhere on the horizon for this program.

Sounded like there were some singles available too. Wonder if it would be advantageous to snap a couple up and move together in the future. One row back, and I would've probably pulled the trigger on those seats.

Attendance is down all over and NDSU was no exception, I think they only sold out one regular season game last year. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of season ticket holders the past few years were scalpers who got burned.

[StL Bison Fan]

I was told there were singles in the north end. A friend got four sidelines together. High up but there really are no bad seats

That's what my son and I did. We were able to buy 2 single seat season tickets last year. And this year we were able to convert them into 2 season seats that were together.

Pat mentioned this as an option, we took ours together higher up, I need the exercise anyway. Season ticket holder on the 20 yd line! Heck ya!

I really would like to come watch a game there. I've been following NDSU since the 1st Natty playoffs, but Cardiologist and wife won't let me drive up there alone.

[NDSU1980]

Not season tickets, but I got the e mail today saying we got our single game tickets to us piss pound UN_ 48-3. E mail didn't name the game but I only put in for UN_ so I'm safe to say that's the game I got.

Apparently some tickets will go on sale to general public for some games on Aug 1 too.

48-3, that's your first half prediction obviously. Care to take a stab at the final?

Are your tickets as terrible as mine are usually? Endzone 4 rows from the top. I'm not a super donor by any means($400/yr)

How is it that single game tickets are usually quite a bit better for seating than the ones I end up getting. Anyone else have better luck on seat position?

Are you a single seat or group of several? 1 is more apt to open up lower or better than say a group of 4. Just a thought, but you probably want to be together.

Same general area as in past years..... south end zone, up fairly high, but I get 8 so can't be too picky. I don't mind them, especially with the video screens right there. It's actually better replay views than some of the sideline seats.

I can't complain, got 3 on Row AA, south endzone. That's actually lower then we were for first game last year. The last game last year we were on row E and I actually didn't like being that low in the endzone, too hard to see the action on the north end.

Mine were there Thursday and on Friday I got an email from Brandon telling me they were in the account. They don't automatically charge your credit card either this year, even though they have my number on file. I still had to click a few things to authorize payment and you have to decide weather to print your own tickets or have them mailed out for an extra fee.

I would sure do some checking as a lot of things have to happen here to get done.

Also Called into the ticket office today to check in on a few things and They told me something that I found to be very interesting.

Highest demand for tickets this year was for UN_ by a mile. IIRC, the priority points for single game requests was in the 1600-1700 range.
The next was UNI, who was in the 700-800 range.
The next was UC Davis which barely peaked 100 priority points.

I just have to laugh at the vast swaths of people who pretend that literally NooOOoBooodDdDdYYYyyY cares about playing UN_ when the demand for those games, by all available data, blows every other game out of the water and its not even close, even among season ticket holders and TMs (which is ALOT of BVille-ers)

You do understand that there are a lot of businesses and NDSU fans that have relatives and people from UND that really would like to go to the game and have absolutely no chance at a ticket as a UND fan unless they buy them from NDSU fan that requested them. I know people that put in requests for that game just to resell them as it is going to be a very hard ticket to get and the opposing fanbase is in this direct area.

you're right, the stadium will be PACKED with UND fans because so few NDSU fans care about the game. Nice theory there bud.

Artificial demand through the ravenous UND fan base? thats a swing and miss

SDSU is not on the home schedule this year, that shrinks the mile. How many are a "vast swaths of people"? Who exactly are these people that "pretend that literally NooOOoBooodDdDdYYYyyY cares"? Are you calling posters on BV hypocrites? Are you engaging in a little hyperbole?

Where did I ever say Packed with UND fans??????? You are talking about a very few tickets out of the whole stadium being available for single game to start with and you can not deny that there will be a larger opposing fan presence than normal at this game. Some demand will be from the NDSU fan base but some is from the opposing team also. I have personally been asked about getting tickets for fans to the north. It may not fit your narrative but it is what it is.

People have to remember that you have had a hard-on for this game since you joined in October 2012.

I don't get the 1600-1700 PP thing. Was that the high end or something? I had no trouble getting 3 tickets for UND and fairly decent seats at that. I'm in the 160 point range. I'm guessing 1600 was probably the highest that applied.

So the UND game had the highest demand, but people with a 1700 rank got tickets, but UNI had less demand but needed a 700 rank, and Davis needed a top 100 rank? I don't think so. Those are PP totals, not rank. (hint, the people with the lowest rank have the highest number of points)

I believe you 100%. That's just what the guy on the phone told me. There are likely other criteria (example, If join TMs this year and I donate 10k, I wont have 1700PPs but I think they would prioritize my request over some others).

All I know is that he almost laughed at the idea that I could get a 3 tickets to UND or UNI lol

People have offered a heck of a lot more than that and not get tickets. Now if you donate 10k and commit to donating x amount of dollars over the next 4-5 years you may be in luck.

[Hammerhead]

I'm guessing they really meant ranking. Our ranking as of today is 1,769 and we only have 35.3 priority points and we did not get tickets to the UND game although it was not our first choice on our request. I did manage to get tickets to homecoming for the fist time since moving back to Fargo 4 years ago. UND tickets were sold out by the time I tried buying a 2nd game.

I had mine for sale in 2015 for $1,200 a seat hoping some dumb F'hawker would pay that price to see his team get dismantled.

[MNLonghorn10]

Should be able to get a pretty penny. This is probably the most "vulnerable" bison team in a decade but they still have the best player in the FCS in Cox.
