Clear your history, cookies and cache and go back in. May have something to do with proxy servers? I'm not a computer whiz.Quote:

Can you register and then order tickets?
Try different stuff
That error is 100% a server-side issue.
They'll have it fixed by February. :facepalm:
Only good news is that if you're not getting through, neither is anyone else.
Ok, I was wrong. Sect 221 Row 5 Seats 3&4
Go Bison!!!
Just got to seat selection, tried searching for 4, no luck. tried searching for 2, no luck. tried searching for 1, got a seat. didn't buy, but that's awful odd. Either that or the mofo is sold out already.
Probably have to go through stubhub:Quote:

Gets pricey though.
I guarantee its not sold out. The gopher hole said they had the same issues. Nebraska is crashing the serverQuote:

Seems to be working fine now but I can also get only 1 ticket at a time because there isn't 2 in a row...I'm not buying I'm just checking it out. This will will be sold out.
Quoted for hopeful truth. :praying:Quote:

NEWS-Heard from a Husker friend. Let's just say that buying a $35 ticket and dumping it to a game you don't care about is considered a small premium to pay around there. Many of their fans buy season tickets for opponents and sell (even at a loss if needed) all the games that they don't want. When you think about it, Bison fans should have done that this year for the Gopher game when you see the insane mark-ups people will be soon paying at StubHub. With the profits made on WI, IA, and NE you could have easily made it work to get a great Bison seat and not get screwed by a ticket broker.
Also props to the poster who said this reminded them of buying Twins tickets. When I tried to buy single game seats for last year I faced the same thing. At a certain point there isn't much the ticket-selling site can do when a zillion people all try to log in at the same time.

I guess you could pick two games and get a Nebraska ticket so maybe some of their tickets will come up for sale, but there probably won't be too many since Cornhusker fans have two cheaper games to pick from for that "two-game pack" deal.Quote:
Until single-game ticket sales started for Gophers football, the North Dakota State ticket was more popular than Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska. Starting Friday, you can buy single-game tickets for the New Mexico State, Miami (Ohio), North Dakota State and Illinois games.
My prediction: There will be more NDSU fans at TCF on 9/24 than Nebraska fans on 10/22. :hide:
There's a reason tickets can be had for less than $10 for Miami (OH) and New Mexico State... and kudos to Minnesota for figuring out which game they could charge a premium for.Quote:

Also, what is he even saying? That NDSU tickets were more popular before tickets went on sale, but now that they are on sale the other 3 games are more popular?
I think you may be right about visitor attendance. We may bring more than Nebraska, but let's not kid ourselves. Our # of available tickets will be a lot higher than theirs. Only MN diehards will go to the Bison game. The smart fans will actually sell their tickets to Bison fans. For the Husker game most season ticket holders will go and the general MN public will be interested.
But don't underestimate Husker nation. They put over 20k in Notre Dame stadium. More than FD holds.
Well, yeah, there's more than reason there will be more Bison fans at their Gopher game than Cornhusker fans. Still won't change the game day experience...Quote:

BTW, I wouldn't discount Minnesota fan interest in the Bison game as much as you have - after all, if you are from Minnesota and want to see Minnesota kids play DI football, your best choice is an NDSU game. Remember how many tickets Nate Safe's presence sold? :)
Knowing Nate's dad and family a bunch of them will likely be there for this years game.Quote:

I guess I'm gauging MN fan interest based on the ticket-holders who I know (I work with the U of M so that is a lot) and by and large they view almost all non-conference games the same. A few know Bison alums and may go for that connection, but outside of that the game isn't viewed any different than Miami OH. The Husker game is a legit helmet school making their Big Ten debut on homecoming. It isn't discounting interest in NDSU to say that Gopher fans are more excited about Nebraska and therefore tickets to the Bison game will be more available and for lessQuote:

I think you're right and that's why there could be 1/2 of the stadium chearing for NDSU.Quote:

I see 2 or 3 things wrong with this statement. I shall be very civil about this.Quote:

If this was the 7-5 team after the Misery St. game then I would completely agree with your 10K at most prediction.
Why wouldn't you be fearing a loss? If you don't fear this as a loss than what do you fear as a loss? Your a low-mid Big 10(12) team so you can't fear losing to Ohio St., Nebraska, Penn St., Wisconsin. The games you would theoretically fear losing are to teams like NDSU, Miami (OH), etc. because those are the games that the fans can honestly look at and say that we have no excuse to lose this game. Hell, Mason's firing can be attributed to three things, Almost losing to NDSU, losing to NDSU, and the big reason is the Texas Tech debacle.
Outside of Lakes and a few others, I would have to say most of us are pretty rational, we aren't clamouring for a Big Ten invite or anything stupid like that. The Bison are by no means a dominant program, we have not been anything above a solid FCS team. We have had dominant teams, average teams, and downright awful teams all in the past 5 years. But are we being irrational when we go into a game against Minnesota expecting a W? Not really. Back in '06 I went to the game hoping the Bison could keep it within a couple of touchdowns. In '07 I was thinking that the Bison would pull it off. SDSU played a good game with Minnesota(and Nebraska which I think they should get more credit for but I digress), and USD went in and won last year. The teams up here are not afraid of the Gophers and have no reason to be. Can you give me a pros and cons list showing why the Bison shouldn't feel like they are fully capable of winning this game? If you can, I will be more than happy to label myself an "irrational bizon fan."
Help me out. I think we both agree that Bison fans are pumped about this game and Gopher fans generally don't care. So how does that not lead to more than 10k Bison fans? Virtually every non season or student ticket will be bought by Bison fans. Plus, virtually every season ticket which goes on sale through secondary market will be bought by Bison fans. So work me through the numbers. How many season + student tickets are there and how many extra seats does that leave? Additionally, how many season + student tickets will be sold because Gopher fans don't want to go to the game? It sure seems like more than 10k will be available.Quote:

Thanks for making my point. You listed a few reasons why the bison fan attendance will be higher than 10,000.Quote:

They're less than a year removed from losing to the University of South Dakota - an average FCS team at the time. In the last five years that's 2 losses to FCS teams, a 3-point win over SDSU, a 12-point win over Montana State, and a 1-point win over the Bison. Until the program has a few solid years, I'd certainly be nervous about losing to the Bison. It has to be embarassing at this point. I'd fully expect that the U should beat most teams not in a BCS conference, let alone the FCS, and I sincerely hope Kill can get things on track. Until then, I don't think the Bison fans are being delusional at all (that happens during basketball season :D).Quote:

Now only 150 tickets left at stubhub. Only 1 seat less than $100 ($90) and that is before fees and mailing cost. Not looking good for those who waited.
We already have lakes making us look like lifeless trolls so that would be redundant.Quote:

Hey goldyshower, good luck winning the Big Ten or getting into any of the bigger bowl games......it won't happen anytime soon.
Don't worry, more tickets will become available.....the only problem is nearly all will be in the $100 plus range.Quote:

Already down to 134 tickets left on stubhub as of late this morning.Quote:

You're right. It doesn't matter how many Bison show up. The correct answer is "a crapload" and it will be a heck of a lot of fun.Quote:
