Tickets for Homecoming (Illinois - Oct 22)
Hello all,
I have been looking for some cheap-ish or face value tickets for Illinois with not much luck. Stub hubhas been the best as far as price but really only selling in pairs and with fees it comes to $100/ticket which is too much for me (poor grad student).
I'd be driving in from Grand Rapids so i'm nervous about buying at the gate before the game (i'm an ex-band member so i want to see pregame if possible) especially since there's gonna be a lot of alums coming for homecoming. Any advice, even snarky as long as its constructive?
EDIT
Looking for 5 total tickets. Preferably 3 together and 2 together (got 2 together)

I've been looking on MGoBlue but the tickets are all over the place. That'll be my last resort, before scalping, and just try to move around the section by asking people around us.

You can monitor the ticket exchange here. http://clubs.alumni.umich.edu/grandrapids/ticketexchange

Yeah, went there first and most are already sold or higher than what i can justify/afford right now unfortunately

How many were you looking for? Might have 2 for sale.

You should have signed up for Alumni Band. We have reached our allotment, so that is no longer an option, but it is a really fun day and it's far cheaper than scalping a ticket.

and will be there (I am coming from 3 time zones away, nice that the game is starting at 3:30 and I won't have to basically pull an all-nighter to go to the morning rehearsal). Was suprised to get the email that they had fufilled the allotment- I have been coming to MMB/Homecoming off and on for nearly two decades, and this is the first time I was even made aware there was a limit!

will be less than $40 per ticket ... at least I will take that for my extra tickets !!!!
Go Blue!

Is this a good strategy? Never bought tickets on the street before and don't want to drive all that way to end up watching at some packed bar

I live in Grand Rapids, and I have 2 tickets that I would like to sell. My girlfriend broke her foot and is having surgery, so I can't go. Face value

I am heading in with the wife for the game. Trying to get some before hand, but willing to risk it to get some outside the stadium in order to not break the bank. Figured worse comes to worse I will just hit a bar and watch with fellow UM fans. Kind of crazy to drive 3 hours, but figure it is worth a shot.

Pretty much the same boat i'm in but i really like to have things planned out and it stresses me out if i dont ha
If it were just me or me and one other person then i'd do that but don't know how the rest of the group feels about that. And i imagine the bars will be a nightmare.

"Dad you wanna go to the game?"
"Ehhh it's a 4 hour round trip and I got a bunch of stuff to do around the house"
"My God, Dad you just retired. Get your ass over here."
"Okay I'll be there at 10am Saturday morning"

equal to face value (someone mentioned $105 is their face value) at least nice sideline. Slightly less for endzone. Waiting it out on ticket websites for prices to drop is your best bet.

I'm still on the hunt for 4 club tickets for Illinois, paying well!

You really don't need to pay $100/ticket for this game.
Take a risk. Tickets under $50 will be very easily had on game day.
Rain is also forecast for next Wed through Friday with temps in the 50's.

I'll have a post tomorrow. Prices are remaining kinda high. If you don't mind splitting up maybe wait till next Friday. If everyone's buying their own ticket and you'd like to get the group together target $120 apiece.

Paying Face for Illinois is cra cra. Just sit on stubhub an hour before the game and watch the prices drop. You can buy them right there and then they can scan the bar code on your phone to get in. I got front row seats in the corner of the endzone for $65 per ticket to the Colorado game and thats with the fees included.
