Long time fan that hasn't been able to make Frisco yet. Hoping to go this year when we qualify:). Can someone please give me a heads up on what side of the stadium is generally the "Bison side" so I can sit amongst friends.

Thanks

The whole stadium is the Bison side.

(real answer is 'home team' is decided by coinflip after semifinals...I believe)

I think they changed that a few years back and now the higher seed is the home team which I think just means they get first pick of what jerseys they want to wear and they get the west sideline.

Regardless, it won't be determined until after the semifinals.

Does the home team get to choose the sideline too? I seem to remember in the 2018 game vs EWU & the 2019 game vs JMU we were on different sidelines and we were the higher seed both times.

Yeah, that was true in 2018 vs EWU. NDSU was on the east sideline even though they were technically the home team. In 2019 vs JMU they were on the west sideline. So maybe they do get to choose the sideline/locker room they want as well.

Halve that number and it'll look like one of their bowl games.

I think Frisco attendance will be way down this year whether the Bison are there or not. Combine fan apathy with COVID aversion and escalating tickets prices (regular non-VIP sideline tickets are over $100 each now with fees) and it'll drive demand way down.

The three Frisco bowls were as follows

And if we used the same counting system last week in the Fargodome that they used for those games attendance would've been 20k+ vs SIU.

Although that is true, the FCS natty draws almost identical to the Frisco Urinal cake bowl when NDSU isnt in it. The Natty isnt a massive draw inherently, its a massive draw when we are in it

Completely true. the FCS natty draws almost identical to the Frisco Urinal cake bowl when NDSU isnt in it. The Natty isnt a massive draw inherently, its a massive draw when we are in it. there are a few other fan bases that do/would draw well in the natty, SHSU, JMU, probably SDSU, and the montanas... aaaaaand thats about it, aaaaand 2 of those are leaving.

Yeah they definitely go off of tickets sold for those. To be fair, it was 35 and raining that day. Was watching on TV.

From someone that has lived in Frisco/Plano for 4 years now, the FBS teams have about the same turnout as any FCS team that we play in Frisco, besides JMU. NDSU would absolutely still travel to Frisco.

Your fans are legendary about going to road games. However, the money in bowl games is related to TV viewership. Hence, I wish ESPN would do more to promote the FCS championship like they do with their bowls. The quality of the football and the dynamic presence of your fanbase could become much larger nationally, if it got more TV viewership.

Most definitely... I'd say if supply wasn't an option SDSU would bring 6-8k but Montana St would bring 10k+.

The other factor this year that will soften demand is jacked up ticket prices. Sideline seats are $100+ each and endzone are $90+ each with fees.

Hey, question from a Bobcat fan here. We would like to go to the game if we get in. Would you A. buy tickets now and try to resell them if we don't get in or B. Wing it and see what tix are avail with the assurance that we've won? There are plenty of corner seats avail right now for $99, but all the good seats are occupied. Do a fair number of the good seats go "on sale" as we get closer?

Second. So which is better, warmer, sunny seats or colder shady seats? I would guess the Frisco, TX definition of "cold" looks pretty warm to most MT people.

There are no "Bad" seats in Toyota Stadium, just some are better than others. The top row seats are fantastic sight lines.
Weather wise really depends on day. It has been 60 at game and it has been high 20s at game time. Last January game held there it was snowing that morning and was humid as the temperature came up. It really doesn't matter on the sun factor other than sunburns WILL occur on the east side if the sun is out.

The center areas (best seats) are school allotments except for the very top rows that are sold as VIP experience tickets ($250 or thereabouts this year). Depending on who bought early tickets (and what teams lose), there will be some or a lot of seats going up for sale on the secondary market this weekend. The fact seats are still on sale indicates demand is down overall. Most years these seats are gone in August. Emails were coming out around Thanksgiving time for a 15% discount on these same $99 seats. Wherever you sit, it will be fun regardless of who is around you.

If you don't like walking up and down stairs, the entrances are at the top and, as noted below, you can see just fine up in the top rows.

In the past they notified everyone via email the day of/after the semifinal that they're accepting requests from the allotment and they typically take requests for a week or so and then notify everyone the week after Christmas whether their request was approved or not.

Depends on how confident you are whether you get tickets through your allotment. I think each team typically gets about 4500 tickets and seems like NDSU holds around 500 for player/staff/university guests and the rest go through to the boosters using priority points to determine who gets tickets and where. It does seem fairly likely that there will be a good demand for tickets given the 4 remaining teams so I'd think you could probably offload your tickets if you needed to especially if you're willing to take a slight loss.

I'm pretty sure it's sold out every year since 2010 (even in 2016 when NDSU didn't make it - although capacity was smaller that year due to stadium renovation). However, this year you've been able to buy tickets from the NCAA's site throughout the fall and that's the first time that's been possible since probably 2012 - since then they've all been snatched up (outside of the allotments) by late August. I think the higher ticket price is a part of that but I wouldn't be surprised if this one sees less demand from the NDSU faithful than previous years should our team make it again. I'm not totally convinced an NDSU or JMU vs SDSU championship game would sell out. I think a Montana St vs NDSU or JMU title game would sell out.

I think SDSU sold out their allotment in the spring in like less than a day or something like that, and that was with no weeks off between the semis and natty. Can’t remember if it was 4000 or 4500 in the spring but I think they’d sell out there allotment again no problem and fill up the remaining seats in the stadium too.

Looks like they were opening up requests at different times and days based on points. NDSU takes all requests and then distributes tickets all at once. I think it's just a different way of going about things. With general public tickets all sold out it doesn't really make much of a difference I'd say with not knowing a few days more if you get allotment tickets or not. At this point it's best to wait it out if you don't have allotment tickets so a few days notice isn't going to help anyone.

Now that the allotment for MSU has been sent out and many are finding out they are without tickets, it's interesting watching them go through the stages of grief.

I especially enjoy those in the bargaining stage who come up with elaborate alternative systems for the ticket allotments that they feel would be more fair.


It doesn't make much sense for the NCAA to decide their allotment for teams before the matchup is set. They could have done 10,000 per school for this game and it would have sold out in 3 days. It would make a hell of a lot more sense for them to say here is the max allotment a school can have (say 7500). The 1st 5000 go on sale whenever they do through the NCAA, and the allotment amount is set based on the teams playing in the game.

Teams averaging 0-4000 fans get 4000 tickets
Teams averaging 4000-8000 fans get 5000 tickets
Teams averaging 8000-12000 fans get 6000 tickets
Teams averaging 12000+ get their full 7500 allotment.

The schools have 1 week to sell their allotted tickets. If they were allotted less than 7500 but sold them all, they get another batch of 1000. If they didn't sell them all the NCAA takes them back and they are listed as normal on the NCAA website. This game isn't big to anybody but the fans of the teams involved. I haven't watched any of the FCS title games since the late 2000s.

But this guy feels entitled to tickets.

Slightly off topic (but heh, it's Bisonville) but it sounds like the band is most likely flying down to the game. My guess is it must be a charter because obviously flights are sold out or extremely expensive at this point.

Sounds like some very generous people stepping up to make it happen. I don't want to share the names I heard in case it's wrong, but kudos to them! Very cool.

The current prices people are listing tickets for is insane. I’m seeing $700-$1300 per ticket right now. I’ve been to Frisco a handful of years, the last time being in 2019. Every year I’ve gone I remember early ticket prices being extremely overpriced and waiting until literally an hour before the game in the tailgating lot to buy my ticket for near or even under face value.

Does anyone who has gone to Frisco regularly remember how high tickets started out in previous years? It feels like it’s never been this high…

I feel like it peaks most years and then comes back down but I can't really remember how they peaked. Perhaps since MSU is new to this and they are probably over the top excited, some of them may be overpaying. I think it happened to NDSU the first year as well because Sam had a head start on tickets.

Yeah it definitely peaks. I was just hoping someone might remember the range they peaked at. I’m hoping the same method of waiting until game day pays off…

I could be wrong but I doubt the demand is why higher than any previous year. I also saw MSI people being told their allotment is only 2k. I wonder if MSU is keeping 2500 back for some reason. That could be very interesting if they are.

Comes down to how many MSU fans are willing to travel to Frisco without tickets in hand. That's the game of chicken being played between buyers and sellers.

Funny how the usual gnashing of teeth has started about the venue with all kinds of "better" alternatives being tossed around. Apparently mile high stadium is where the championship should be held now.

Slightly off topic (but heh, it's Bisonville) but it sounds like the band is most likely flying down to the game. My guess is it must be a charter because obviously flights are sold out or extremely expensive at this point.

Sounds like some very generous people stepping up to make it happen. I don't want to share the names I heard in case it's wrong, but kudos to them! Very cool.

Why would donors need to pay, didn't the band get a gazillion dollars a year or so ago?

Yes, I'm aware they've been there every year. They have not flown down, however, that was the point. I don't know that the GSMB got a gazillion dollars but I do seem to recall the music department receiving a huge donation of some sort. That was probably earmarked for certain programs and not flights :)

Face value is also increased to $100, pretty sure I paid $25 in 2011, its a huge increase so the market will be higher alsoDefinitely a factor. I believe the first year was $45ish. I'm not sure which year the demand was highest. I still don't think it was ever high enough to drive that price up that much. The closer you get the demand definitely goes down because more people self opt out because they can't make travel plans. Every year though the price continually went down and tickets were available at or near face value especially as the face value went up. Pay what you want to pay to go but if you are patient you will get a better price closer to the game. And the more specific you are with your seat (i.e. front row, 50 yard line) the more you will likely spend.

We have gone to a few of the pep fests and they are something we need for families to attend. We didn’t go last time. I was mentioning that they really should find a sponsor and not charge.
Well, this year it is at what used to be Dr Pepper arena (we’ve been there before. It had a beer garden outside) and it is free.
Mt State on the other hand, is having theirs at the the convention center. You get two drinks , food, and unlimited pop. All for $75. Limit 2000 people

Hey Bison fans,

Bobcat fan here with a question on seating. How strict are they in Frisco regarding seating assignments? I have two seats in section 117 and one seat in section 100 with other Cat fans. Is it possible to squeeze the one seat in near the other two or do they check that closely? Also, I'm still looking for one more seat for my wife (a Moorhead girl, of all things;-). I've read on here that normally there are seats to be had once your down there but I know the demand over here has been ridiculous. We're going to get her a flight and hope we can pick a ticket up down there. Do you think that will be a problem this year? Thanks for your input!

I would say you'd be fine going down without a ticket...there are always a fair number being sold outside the stadium...and online prices will go down close to gameday.

We've done what you're asking before. I'd just ask to be courteous and not take up more standing room in your row than the original two seats :). But that being said, what we've done is squeeze 5 people in 4 seats or 9 people in 8, so 3 in 2 is going to be hard. Definitely helps if you're in a section that stands all game...

Montana State seems like they'll fill up the stadium potentially to the level that JMU had been doing. For what it's worth, I've never bought tickets, ever, before the week of the game. Probably not even before Friday, except for EWU when they only brought like 4k.

During championships that will have a little bit higher demand like this one, ticket prices will probably peak on Thursday before the game, but definitely keep an eye out from now until then though as some fans will sell off their tickets as conflicts come up (especially with COVID, there are definitely chances where someone gets sick and can't travel) and they probably won't gouge you too bad. The wildcard will be how many fans Montana State brings, I think. NDSU fans already all have their tickets, so at this point you're competing with your own fans for tix. If Montana State demand is off the chart, throw everything out the window, and you might be paying hundreds on gameday (which honestly I think would still be better than buying now, unless peace of mind is worth $200 to you).

Prices really come down the day of the game, if you have balls of steel in the past I've checked and you can get tickets for less than face within an hour of the game. There are even scalpers with hard copy tickets standing outside trying to offload, but I don't know if those are legit or not.

Hope it helps, welcome to Frisco and enjoy the championship! Find some Bison fans, we're much friendlier IRL.

That's what I was thinking. That would've been Brock's senior year, capping off the 3peat. I wonder how many people would honestly say they bought that 3 pack thinking the Bison would go back to Frisco all 3 years with that package. Or were most people thinking that it was such a good deal that it just made sense to buy it as it guaranteed them entrance to Towson and they could just sell the other years later. Hindsight is always 20/20, we had no idea how Carson was going to do the following year, but we had a wicked good defense coming back with Emmanuel Dudz and Heagle.

It depends. Are you a bunch of fatso's? Or skinny as rails?

Seriously, don't do anything that you wouldn't want the people on either side of you to do.

Our rule is that if there aren't empty seats so that our "neighbors" aren't displaced in our better section, but we still want to sit together, then we move to a lesser area or split up.

No you can’t squeeze more people in…. It’s all individual folding seats, it’s not bleacher bench seats. That’s a good way to get your ass kicked.

From someone that has lived in Frisco/Plano for 4 years now, the FBS teams have about the same turnout as any FCS team that we play in Frisco, besides JMU. NDSU would absolutely still travel to Frisco.

I also saw MSI people being told their allotment is only 2k. I wonder if MSU is keeping 2500 back for some reason. That could be very interesting if they are.

Those tickets were also $30. At a 10x markup they are $300. Today's tickets were $125 for sideline after fees so $475 is not even a 4x markup.

Got the rejection email. Only have 50 or so priority points though. Looks like the gobison accounts page is down.

I see that some resale tix have appeared on both sides along the 50. I guess that means both schools have distributed.

I'm guessing this waiting until 1/4 for tickets on your account is all to prevent scalping in the NDSU allotment. By the time we actually gets tickets loaded to our accounts from the allotment some Montana St fans will have had their allotment tickets for 2 weeks.

If so... good thinking by NDSU administration.

The way these tickets are it really only makes sense to sell them through AXS. AXS and the NCAA have a partnership all the way through every resale. The NCAA wants people to resell these tickets at a premium and to get their cut off the fees.

2 tickets for sale in NDSU alottment. $1000 per, which includes my pure and accurate color commentary.

I think it's been around 3 years. I moved from San Diego to far north Dallas, then to Mckinney. OU and Arkansas seem to be more local here than UT-Austin even. I suspect that may change if Texas is ever good again but it seems to be the case now.

Are you a golfer? Brother and I are driving down and if the long range forecast holds we're going to try and get in a round (or two). Curious if you had any thoughts or recommendations on courses around the area.

Well, whether it's intentional or unintentional they're pissing off the NCAA then because this will be around 4500 tickets I think that can't be posted to AXS for resale until 1/4 at the earliest.

Has there been problems in the past with tickets from the NDSU allotment getting scalped to the other team? If not (and I don't think it has been but I haven't ever followed it that closely) then I'm not sure why we aren't distributing tickets until 1/4. Or is there another reason for the delay maybe? Doesn't make any difference to me as I have no chance to get tickets from the school and already have my tickets but am curious.

I'm pretty sure that hasn't been an issue in the past. I think there's been a few tickets from the allotment pop up for resale but that's very rare IIRC. But I also don't think tickets have ever been going for this much on the secondary market either in a championship game NDSU has been involved in. I'm just guessing as to why they wouldn't release tickets to their respective accounts until 1/4 so could easily be something different. In any case, there's not going to be much opportunity to re-sell your allotted tickets (which is just fine by me).

And how many do you think will be resold???

BTW I seriously dont think the NCAA is pissed off about this.

What I do find interesting is I went to my Flash seat account and it also shows the tickets I bought in Aug. They also show up at AXS. Plus AXS has a record of all of my purchases all the way back to our first game. 30.00 a seat. Sideline And I bought those through the stadium ticket office.

Like I said I don't think very many from the allotment went up for resale in the past so I wouldn't imagine that changing much this year. But if there are any re-sold tickets from the NDSU allotment I'd say there's a greater chance than ever of an opposing fan showing up in those seats. I'd tend to agree that the NCAA doesn't really give a rip if they make another few thousand on resale fees or not.

For me the delay is just a minor annoyance since I'd just like to know the section and row my seats are in.

Yep the delay is a pain. People need to transfer tickets etc etc etc. But they will let us know later???? WTF????

I know of a couple of families who thought they were getting tickets from a season ticket holder… who has since gone silent.
Pretty easy to sell those tickets for $350 or more… and especially if they are in your AXS account. If there’s a 7 day delay (holy smokes it is a SEVEN day delay) the allotment scalpers may be a bit nervous. That’s ok.

If those Montana State fans are mad at NDSU fans for selling them tickets for $500+, they're really going to be mad when they find out the NCAA was complicit by not telling them that there are about to be 1,500 SRO tickets that are going to drive the resale market into the toilet.

The problem with all of this is when they get two teams that don’t travel, are they going to lower prices? Nope.

I believe the fees are 20%. So the price of your ticket is what determines $100 in fees. Im guessing you are looking at $500 per seat tickets.

They are getting a nice cut when the prices are getting up there. I imagine there are a few seats getting sold multiple times.

I don't even know what the stubhub cut is for ndsu for ticket reselling. It is a big business. Hopefully the ncaa money is making its way back to member institutions.
