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
So who can’t get tickets? Season tickets, yes they are limited. However, getting tickets to any game, home or away, are fairly easy to get. Sometimes it takes a little work and an extra few bucks, but it is still easy to get tickets to every single Bison game.
I’ve traveled to Fargo the past four or five years to attend at least one football game, and have yet to see the FargoDome with every seat filled. Yes, the game is technically sold out, but there are still numerous ways to get in the game. It’s the same issue we have at Mile High Stadium for Broncos games. The place has been sold out consecutively since 1970, but if anyone really wants to go they can get in. This is the twelfth season I’ve bought season tickets, and have rarely seen my section (534) at the 50 yard line at 100% capacity.
If the demand for tickets was as bad as some here claim it to be, the City and FargoDome would be doing something about it. Leaving five to ten thousand tickets per game at premium price would be too much money to pass up on. The reality of the issue is it probably isn’t that bad. I’m guessing the actual demand is around 1,500 tickets per game. That demand might not be big enough to make it cost effective to expand the seating in the FargoDome.

Hail the BISON!!!
The Butler game at Target Field next year will be a good case study to see what the ticket demand truly is. They should be able to sell almost 40k tickets to that game if necessary. If they can get near that number for a game 230 miles from Fargo in a baseball stadium against a garbage opponent I think it's safe to say demand is significantly higher than just those who put in season ticket requests this year.
