    Default SDSU to actually sell NDSU tickets on Aug 1?

    https://gojacks.com/news/2019/7/25/s...ale-aug-1.aspx

    I doubt it, but absolutely no mention of holding them back in the press release.

    It's smart. Sell them to Bison fans at a premium and make a mint. Makes a lot more sense than trying to hoard them and playing in front of a bunch of empty seats.

    That would require swallowing a lot of pride.......we did kind of crucify them for it.

    BTW, another source told me NDSU does not expect them to be available for general sale, but who knows how reliable that is.

    It would seem kind of silly to me for them to mark those ticket prices up so high and then pull the freeze out move again. So they'd want to gouge their own fans? Price enough of them out so they'd have to sell some to NDSU fans to sell the thing out?

    I don't pretend to understand their ticket selling strategy but the logical thing based on those price points would be to sell single game tickets to the NDSU game on 8/1 just like the rest of the games.

    Lots of logic here......I fully agree with your reasoning, but they also may think they can have their cake and eat it too. (ie demand high enough they will sell it out at the premium price by game time and still be able to freeze out NDSU fans)

    According to Scott in the ticket office tickets are available to anyone. They will have an interactive seating map online. He also said there were no restrictions.

    I just got back from company meetings in Sioux Falls. The locals are quite pissed that they jacked the prices up so high. Their comments are "we cant get fans to the game with $35 tickets, who do you think is going to buy all the $60 tickets to the game? It's going to be all ndsu" they then asked how much our tickets are and were shocked by our average price
