Reminder: Gopher tickets go on sale Friday at 5 pm

I guarantee its not sold out. The gopher hole said they had the same issues. Nebraska is crashing the server

Nebraska isn't crashing the server because they can't buy single game tickets until Sept. 27 (plus the game is already sold out.)

Pretty sure it's Bison fans crashing the server.

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.

....This will will be sold out.

Quoted for hopeful truth.

frustrated with system and trying to find open seats. Went to stub hub and bought two in section 105 for $80 a ticket.

Those people travel. They will have more fans in TCF than Iowa and Wisconsin combined. Although I'm pretty sure they have to buy another crap NC game though to buy today. Also don't forget WI and IA will bring a crapload of demand. This is a pretty good year to be a MN ticket-broker.

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.

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.

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.

My prediction: There will be more NDSU fans at TCF on 9/24 than Nebraska fans on 10/22.

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.

Tony,

If we accept the ramblings of Sid when we like what he says, we have to accept them all the time.

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...

I think all Sid was saying is that before Friday, the NDSU game had sold more tickets than any other game. He wrote the story before tickets went on sale so

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?
