tickets

So I eschewed season tickets this year and am looking into making a weekly feature out of my exploits to get into each game (except AF since I was on a different continent). Parameters will be written up later but basically 2 tickets next to each other no worse than the season tix would have been.

In order to gather the maximum data I would like anyone who isn't season ticketed to share how they got their tix, what price, what section, and what row-ish (closest 10). Break no laws.

User si_daddy (who does not have enough points to make an OP) posted this link in the "Trey Burke is Back!" thread, but posted it down far enough that I don't think many people got the chance to take a look. Looks like anyone in the area or willing to make the trip owes him a bit of a posbang if this is news to you. si_daddy, if you're reading this, post and get your +1's.

Since it wasn't me who found this originally, I'll use the "I searched but found nothing" disclaimer. Apologies all around if it's been posted, but I searched and didn't see it.

Well, that was quick...

 

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Due to an extremely high level of demand, the University of Michigan Athletic Ticket Office announced today (Tuesday, Feb. 7) that the University's allotment of tickets to the Cowboys Classic against Alabama is sold out. Michigan received just less than 25,000 tickets for the football team's 2012 season opener and sold out before a public sale could take place.

"We have received unprecedented interest in tickets for the Cowboys Classic game with Alabama," said chief marketing officer Hunter Lochmann. "The demand is on par or greater than our athletic department has ever seen."

If the athletic department receives standing room tickets, those will be offered in the following order:

1. Victors Club members with 1-49 priority points without previous Cowboys Classic orders
2. Michigan football season ticket holders with no priority points
3. General public

Standing room ticket availability will not be known until late April. All individuals within the aforementioned groups will receive M-mail communication if and when standing room only tickets become available.

As of this morning both the $285 price level and the $175 price level are sold out and it hasn't even gotten to the point where the grads can get tickets yet... http://www.mgoblue.com/tickets/fbl-cowboys-classic.html Anyone have any thoughts on this one? I really wanted some $175's and was hoping they would stick around long enough that a UM grad friend of mine could get me a couple but now those are gone. Should I just bite the bullet and get the $125's or might there be some after-market deals that aren't *too* bad?

Mgobloggers, 

I'm Trying to sell 2 pairs of tickets to the Sugar Bowl. One pair is Premium Terrace (it was suppose to be endzone mezzanine, but UM oversold) and the other pair is Plaza Level. 

The location won't be available until December 14th at 8:30AM according to the UM ticket office. 

E-mail me if you're interested kenneth.dutton@uconn.edu 

Alright, I know everyone's thinking about it, but nobody's posting. For those Bowl veterans out there, what is the scalping environment typically like? Am I the only one who thinks the cheapest ticket being $97 is a little ridiculous?
