Complete Bison-Gopher Ticket Thread with dates and links, lodging, etc...
UPDATED 9/23. Tickets are still available to the game at the Gopher Box Office! Visit Gophersports.com https://www.mygophersports.com/Online/default.asp or call 1-800-U-GOPHER or 612-624-8080 Tickets are $50. There will be a TON of tickets available from scalpers. Stub Hub is a bad idea at this point unless you can find some with a "PRINT YOUR TICKETS OPTION" or a pickup spot in Minneapolis. Ticket King has a local pickup spot in the Twin Cities. http://www.ticketkingonline.com/ Call them at or call 1800-396-7328 or local 651-436-1120. Check Craigslist in Minneapolis or Fargo. Tons available http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/tix/ http://fargo.craigslist.org/tia/
Scalpers will be selling them outside the stadium. Look for a sign that says "Want to buy tickets" or "Tickets for sale." Bring cash. Scalpers don't take credit cards. You can also take a party bus but time is running out. See below.
These ticket broker websites allow you to pick the tickets up at a store in Minneapolis or St Paul... may be your best bet

**WHERE DO I GET TICKETS??**
1) Gopher Ticket office. About 1000 remain. Grab them FAST! Start at $50. Visit Gophersports.com [url]https://www.mygophersports.com or call 1-800-U-GOPHER or 612-624-8080
2) PARTY BUSSES- Sept 22-24, 2011
Mike Schmitz, the party bus dude claims to have 80 tickets. Mike@midwestsportstours.com 701-527-7868
Leaves Bismarck & stops in Fargo. Price includes ticket, hotel, and tailgating. $249-289 per person. If you bought tickets they have a transportation package too
http://www.midwestsportstours.com/de...dex.php#event3 EMAIL mike@midwestsportstours.com for details.
OTHER SITE: Other site: http://www.bisonminnesota.com
Note: if you want a bus for TRANSPORTATION ONLY email b27reader@lycos.mail
3) Craigslist or classified. Better option since no shipping required for local orders.
Fargo - http://fargo.craigslist.org/tia/
Minneapolis - http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/tia/
4) Scalpers. Guaranteed to find from scalpers. All these left over seats will be available outside of TCF bank stadium. They usually hold signs that say "want tickets." Bring cash and a map so you can see where they are.
5) STUBHUB or 3rd party Ticket Brokers. Make sure it gives your a "PRINT YOUR TICKETS OPTION" or a pickup spot in the Twin Cities. Shipping is impossible since the game is tomorrow/today. Many Gopher season ticket holders are selling their tickets on these sites so they are better seats. There are many available for sale on multiple sites. Prices range from face value ($50) to $350. You can order groups of 25, front row, 50 yard line, or cheap seats! Here are some of the sites.
BEWARE: Not enough time to ship!! PRINT ONLY or retail pick up delivery option!! Ticket King is local to minneapolis...
This is the only ones I would use and that's if you pick them up at a store in Minneapolis... http://<br /> http://www.ticketking.../event/1526304

**TAILGATING**
#1 spot is at the State Fairgrounds. You can park there and take a shuttle to the stadium. Starts 6 hrs before game. Alcohol OK. Just like Bison games. Take 1-94 (from east) to Exit 238 Snelling. Then take a left. See more details below. This is by far your best bet. Jeff Kolpack said parking is a "big time challenge" and this has a shuttle bus.
