ksixpack Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 There was only 150 left for sale. UND administration thought small and didn't get the NHL arena. This will be the hardest ticket in UND history. Could have easily sold 20,000 tickets. 15,000+ to UND and 5,000+ to MN. Lost opportunity...shame on them for thinking small. MN only has 200 seats for this game! 4 Quote

runaroundsioux Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I know it's disappointing but just remember this thing is 18 months away. Alot of people bought as many as they could just because they could. Those tickets all don't have a home. Plus 18 months is a long time. Plans and schedules change,people die (JK). There will be tickets available. 1 Quote

franchise Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Another day excited to get tickets, another waste of time 2 Quote
UNDColorado Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 No luck here either, was on right at 1 MT. Something is up. Quote

Would have been a pretty cheap investment this year when $135 would have gotten you an easy way to get 2 regional tickets and 4 Vegas tickets. 2 Quote

I looked into joining recently just for the purpose of buying the Las Vegas game tickets, but you had to have joined by a date that had already passed. Didn't seem to make much sense to limit it like that. Quote
runaroundsioux Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 For $135 a year you get priority ticket purchase, 15% discount at Sioux Shop, free volleyball and womens hockey admission,plus free food at tailgating,plus you're supporting UND athletics. Pretty good deal. 1 Quote

C'mon, think about it...7500 tickets sold vs 20,000 tickets sold at $80 each before fees...unless the costs were over $1,000,000 the numbers don't add up. And that is just ticket revenue...doesn't include merchandising, concessions, beer, and parking revenue...UND administration blew it by being conservative. They don't know there own market. For those of you thinking of buying on the secondary market...you are right everyone has a price but with MN only getting 200 tickets, what do you think their big wigs will pay for a ticket? 1 Quote
GoalieMask Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Maybe this will be a Garth Brooks concert all over again, so much demand for tickets that they'll agree to play a second night? 3 Quote

There will be tickets available. The worse part is lot of people know lots of other people that wanted to go. I also know about six or seven groups of people who tried getting tickets at two pm. It was going to be a blast having such large groups of UND fans hanging out in Vegas together, unfortunately that will no longer happen and a couple of people will only be going from those 20 plus people.

If that is truly the case, then instead of hyping the release to the general public, they should have been expressing that tickets were very limited, rather than getting everybody's hopes up. And this is coming from somebody who got tickets in the Champions club presale. 2 Quote
