ND ticket question

Check StubHub or Craiglist? I usually start there to get a feel for the market.

Bought mine yesterday at $275, and they seem to be going up from there. Maybe they will drop slightly before kickoff, but i'd doubt you can get in under $200.

I spoke to someone yesterday who was looking to go and said that the nose bleed seats were well over $300... Hottest ticket in town!

I looked just now and didn't find anything under $270 and that's for 2 together, not 4.

This is a slick way to ask for suggestions about where to watch the game.

If it rains you have a great shot, but if it's nice out that's gonna be tough!

Sorry man, but there's honestly no chance at grabbing four tickets together under 800.  It's pretty hard to get just one under 300. It's the first game, a night game, a historic rivalry -- just go and have fun without the tix!

I'd be shocked if tickets were available in the parking lot at any price.  Maybe if we were still playing them every year, but now?  No chance.  

In my years of scalping outside Michigan Stadium, the only game I almost didn't make it into was 1999 Michigan-Notre Dame. There was almost nobody selling. I managed to get a single for a higher price than I wanted, but it was the only guy I found who even had tickets for sale.

That market doesn't have much to do with the market for this game (it was 19 years ago! Holy cow we're old) but it taught me an important lesson for future road trips to games: If you make a trip to go to a game, either have the tickets secured before you travel, be willing to pay through the nose when you get there, or be willing to show up, see the stadium and the fans, and then walk away like that one scene in Rudy if your price isn't met. 

If you're really willing to go to all the trouble of a trip to South Bend and then watch the game with a bunch of pro-ND people in a local establishment, then by all means make the effort. But if seeing the game in person is really the draw, be ready to pay up, or stay home. 

I wouldn't count on getting in this game for $200 a ticket. If that's the price you're willing to pay, your best bet is hanging around the stadium prior to kickoff and look for someone who's trying to unload their tickets. But you always have to wonder about whether the ticket is real or not, and there will be people out there looking to hose an opposing fan if they can see they're desperate to get into the game. 

I just looked on StubHub and the best bet you're getting with four together is $335 a piece. That price may lower a little bit before gametime, but you're going to have to be ready to pony up to get into this game, pal. 

10 minutes from the stadium. Drop over with some beer if no tickets and watch on 4K. As long as you don't mind the Cavy running around the living room. He is a hoot!! 

Go Blue!!

I would bet you can get a single or maybe 2 together for $150-$200 right before kickoff. 4 together no chance. Maybe try getting whatever you can and meeting up inside the stadium ?

I think it is highly unlikely you will get 4 together for $800 even if it rains. Friend just sold his 4 for $740 each. They are great seats.

For future look at the alumni association. You need to buy in July. I am heading down with them, free parking in a2, round trip bus ride, box lunch, and ticket for $245. 

My tickets are some type of plastic that came with a ND lanyard. Anyone else have that type of ticket? Wondering if it's a season ticket holder's, whom I bought them from.
