    Default Not sold out yet?

    How can every regular season game be sold out within a half an hour, but a playoff game has tickets available the night before. You have got to be kidding me! If a game with so much riding on it doesn't sell out.... it is going to hurt.

    It will. The early start time hurts and we only have 6 days to move 19k tickets. All we have are a few general admission seats to fill
    .

    As explained to me several weeks ago, and it does make sense. Many season tickets are sold to corporate accounts, and they are already budgeted for the
    year. This is extra expense and they may have not any extra funds to purchase those tickets. Therefore they become available as reserved seating, which takes
    some pressure off the general admission.

    So if I am in CO and coming to ND Thursday for Xmas vacation and really want to take my son to the game, of course barring the, well, never mind. What day are non season ticket holders like me able to call and try and get a good sideline seat for the semi final game?? How soon has it been for these previous playoff games?

    There are several time windows in which tickets might be available due to the process. In addition, it is not known in advance how many tickets will actually be available at each time window due to the dependency on the previous window's activity.

    Way too many variables, and I think the NDSU ticket office handles them quite well all things considered.

    My seats will be full (have to put the coat somewhere while I stand in front of them).

    Looking back at the threads from this week it looks like some on Wednesday morning and some more on Friday morning.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    I give this 10% chance of selling out. I have been trying to get rid of 3 all week and the demand is not there. People don't realize there are lots of tickets. If this was Montana it would have been sold out already.

    Thread drift-but the first time I saw that gif it was attached to an email that said "what it feels like to be a Vikings fan!"
