A buddy of mine that buys tickets at Kinnick all the time told me that the last UNI game was a hard ticket to get as a lot of UNI fans were looking for tickets as well.
What are tickets scalping for these days?
- Thread starter Bohawk
- Start date
I went there in 2006. I was given free tickets from a Michigan source, but walked up at game time and saw a bunch of scalpers. I asked one how much and was able to get a ticket on about the 20 halfway up the stadium for $20. I ended up just pocketing my other kind of crappy ticket.
There were even 110,000 people there.
So, I would definitely advocate scalping there.

So just to make sure I'm clear on what your laying down...A buddy of yours that bought tickets told his other buddy, who told you friend's wife, who told your wife, who told you, that the ISU game was not going to be on TV this year?
Please repost one more time if I'm not understanding correctly...

Scalping all comes down to the number of tickets you need together.
If you need a single, you'll get in for next to nothing.
If you need a pair for UNI, i would expect to pay around $60 each
Anything more than 2 together and you're going to pay more than face value.
Again, you can always get lucky and find a season ticket holder who will give you a good deal. However, I'd say 75% of the people you see with tickets are scalpers and they are there to profit.

Scalped in 2010. Sat on the 40 yardline 48 rows up behind the Michigan bench. 40 bucks

UNI game will be tougher than people think due to the local interest. Not only your typical Iowa game demand, but plenty of UNI fans within an easy drive of IC plus regular people in the IC/CR and Cedar Valley area that are interested in this matchup.
It was not an easy ticket last time, and I doubt it will be this year, either.

That was also the first game of the year and expectations were kinda high that year coming off the '08 season. I don't think prices will be that high this year.

Outside the student union. I guess it's illegal there, but they are scalping openly there.
I take the crappy tix from the U, and I go see scalper. I show scalper my U of I tix, and say I'll give you these tix, and X more to sit between the 35's.
No problem with tix at Michigan.
Not sure if already mentioned but there are 5-10 pro scalpers around Kinnick who try to buy up the ticket supply. They pay low dollar to buy tickets.
If your son can find these guys ( a couple of them always hang out at melrose and melrose ct.) about a half hour before the game and as someone gets ready to sell their tickets to the scalpers your son can jump in and offer $10 more bucks a ticket.
They should be able to get a good price.

They NEVER sit, ever. They don't check for ID's anymore, though, do they?
Yep. This would absolutely work.
