The Sicatoka Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm going and if I get in nosebleeds will be the only thing available and probably cost $75. I'd say you're missing a squiggly number between the '$' and the '7'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'd say you're missing a squiggly number between the '$' and the '7'. We'll see. I don't think it will get that bad but if it does so be it. I'm going to Fargo either way. I might pull a camper over there and throw a party watching it in the parking lot. Where are you guys going to watch it?

NDSU grad Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 When I say decent, I mean. Something in the first 15 rows. I'm getting old and with a lot of pre-game festivities I don't like going up that many stairs. I also agree that the majority of Bison fans have wanted this game back for a long time. It's a great time, and it's great for the host city. If you are able to get a ticket for this game for 75, then I would grab it quickly, no matter where the seat is. There won't be single game tickets available in the first 15 rows. You'll have to find somebody willing to give up season tickets. I'm thinking it would take $200-300/ticket, possibly more.

jdub27 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Single game tickets usually go on sale around the beginning of August. There is occasionally tickets released once or twice during game week but those are usually returned allotments from the visiting team or the students and there likely won't be any coming back from either. Tickets will be hard to get and a lot of people will be left out, but I will say that in the past few years, there has not been a single game I have not been able to help some relatives get a ticket to, including playoffs. Haven't always been ideal seating, including SRO, but have never paid over face value. That being said, this game is a completely different animal as demand will be absurd from both sides instead of just the home team. UND's allotment is 500, which I believe is double what their opponents normally get. Good luck getting one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you're right, you probably won't find a decent seat for under $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the high ticket price for just another game? You think that demand might spike up a bit simply because UND fans are looking for tickets? Demand for NDSU tickets among Bison fans could hardly be any higher than it has been for the last few years. All the single-game tickets sell out in 2 hours without UND on the schedule. It won't be Bison fans driving up ticket prices for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of folks, regardless of if they wanted this game or not, will be paying a premium because of the value they place on being there, not exclusively the value that many UND may be placing on getting in the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosidel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm blind? Other than student tickets, and students can be fickle regarding attendance at football games, there would be essentially no tickets available for Bison games with, or without, UND on the schedule.

How much do tickets sell for on craigs list, stub hub, etc., for games against SDSU and UNI? I can guarantee a lot of ndsu fans will be paying prices for tickets for this game that, if it was a game against another school, they'd say "no thanks, I'll catch the next one."

Demand for tickets among Bison fans could hardly be higher than it already is. The spike in demand that will occur for this game, particularly in the secondary market, will be almost entirely due to UND fans, and fence-sitters.

The NDSU fans willingness to pay will spike for this game. Where NDSU fans will probably not pay a certain amount for the SDSU or UNI game, they would be willing to pay for this one. Guaranteed. Take off the goggles and be honest with yourself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosidel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's just nonsense to say that demand among Bison fans will be appreciably higher for this game. For Christ's sake 20,000 bison fans routinely show in Frisco 1,000 miles from Fargo. 30,000 (estimated) followed them to Minneapolis to see them play the Gophers. All non-student single game tickets sell out basically as quickly as the ticket office can take the orders. Do you really think that those people need a game against UND to get them excited about Bison football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niouxsiouxfan Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 How many times do we have to hear "this is not a rivalry game", or, "it's just another game" Yes, UND fans will be driving up the cost, as will NDSU fans.

Basically you are comparing this game with a national title game or a game with a team from the Big 10. But it isn't an important game to NDSU fans. Got it.

Has nothing to do with being excited about football in general. Its being excited about that game. Did you factor in the Concordia faction of your fan base?

jdub27 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nonsense. Which single game ticket will be priced highest this season by the NDSU ticket office? Looking at the pricing for basketball tickets this year, the answer is pretty obvious. I guess their plan is to gouge UND fans since NDSU fans have so little interest in this game?

This game is going to be a major disappointment for UND fans expecting things to be like they were a dozen years ago. Things really have changed.
