I just bought season tickets.

 

My plan is to sell a few games to cover the cost of the tickets.  Have no idea where they are, however they are 2nd year grad student tickets, and she went to undergrad here in the honors program.  The tickets should be amazing because I am not in a seating group.

 

I know its early but feel free to contact me if you are intersted in one of the "big 3" as well as any other game.

Hi, fellow Wolverines. I bought three OSU ticket packages today. Does anyone want to buy any tickets from me? Available games are Eastern Michigan, Minnesota, and SDSU. I am going to attempt to sell the OSU tickets for a good chunk of change cuz I need the money to buy a ring for my girlfriend. E-mail me at [email protected] or call my cell 440-225-2736. I will mail them to you at no extra charge. We can negotiate prices when communication happens. I don't know if I am allowed to post stuff like this and if not, I am sorry, Brian. Please don't ban me, just let me know not to do it anymore. Thanks, everyone. Go Blue and 54 days until kickoff.

Hey, jerk. I am as big a fan as everyone on here. I have gone to a game every year since 2002, but I have a legit reason to want to make a profit. I have been dying to go to an OSU/Michigan game since I was a kid, but I have to what is needed. I need as much extra money as possible to buy an engagement ring. Do you have $5G to give me for the ring? Didn't think so. I will sell them to whomever is the highest bidder...and that's the bottom line.

I have a steady job. Why don't you piss off like your buddy? I have bills to pay other than buying a ring. Having bills to pay means I have a life and nice things that must be paid for, like a car, rent for my house, utilities, groceries, a dog, etc. Not everyone makes a ton of money like I'm sure you DON'T and can just drop $5G for a ring.

An engagement ring was supposed to cost three months' pay, and signify to your future in-laws that you had the means to provide for their daughter. Those reasons are just a tad outdated. However, the main stone on the ring was not always a diamond, though diamond sellers would have us believe otherwise. If you have a unique enough lady to appreciate it, you can probably save some money and some e-douchbaggery by looking at rings with a different main stone and maybe smaller diamond accents. 

If you're just set on spending $5,000 and then complaining about it, by all means continue.

if I want to buy her something nice. I am not complaining about it anyway. Just stating why I want to sell them for a profit. If I can make a couple or few grand off them, then it would be very un-American of me to say, "Oh sorry, that is too much you are offering for these tickets." Gotta love the Land of the Free. To quote some other tool, "America, love it or leave it."

Yeah, I'm 70K in debt, but you don't see me selling out my alma mater and fellow alums and Michigan fans for a quick buck. Get a (another) job or cut out your unnecessary expenses. Someone who legitimately wanted to go to the game - maybe with their kids or their father or their fiance - won't get to because you selfishly decided to buy up as many tickets as you could so you could sell them for a profit. You're the definition of a dick.

Got the OSU 4 pack @ 4 tickets. Don't know if anyone noticed but you could hit "edit" and it'd give you a different combination of sections and rows for the games. I just kept doing that until I got the best OSU tickets I saw. I think I made out great. OSU (sec9.row16) EMU (sec34.row15) WMU (sec37.row32) SDSU (sec10.row40) .... these are all pretty good seats right??

I purchased my package online with OSU in row 87 and Eastern in Row 84.

I called the ticket office at 734.764.0247 asking if they could switch my tickets to the best available, and they got me to row 36 for OSU and Row 28 for Eastern on comperable sections.

The person was really nice and friendly. Took 3 minutes or so.

Just give them the confirmation # on your email and you are good to go!

 

Go Blue!!!

She said if anything changed to go ahead and call back. I called 15 minutes before the office closed for the day!

I think as long as there are tickets that they will exchange if asked!

What a day to be alive!

Now it's time to book flights from Colorado!

Just wanted to thank you for the heads up. Got 3 out of 4 of my seats changed. Got 7th row at the OSU game. Front row at Emu. 9th at Minnesota.  and 22nd at SDSU. Appreciate it man!

I called again today to see if I could move to a sideline section for the OSU game, instead of a corner, and they got my tickets to the 40 yard line - row 30.

Again, they were super friendly.

Kind of stoked that I got homecoming Purdue tickets as well. Row B. I'm 6'5 and my brother is 6'6, so that should be an experience.

 

My wife is going to the OSU and SDSU game with me. Should be a great fall!

I love when I impulse buy and it works out.

Booked flights from Colorado and hotels today!

Good to go!

Go Blue!

 

Now I just can't spend any money until I attend these games! An expensive couple days to say the least!

Is anyone traveling from PA?  I can't decide on whether to take a train or just drive.  Any suggestions on travelling from the east coast for the games would be a huge help!!

You no longer HAVE to buy the Eastern Michigan game.   They are giving you the option of Eastern or Western Michigan.  Then you get to pick between Purdue, Minnesota, San Diego State, or Western again.

Whats a good bar after the game relatively close to the stadium? Heading up for a bachelor party. Preferably a college age party atmosphere. Chicks a +.

There are no bars close to Michigan Stadium..

Well, Packard Pub is the closest.  Not a terrible option.

You have two choices:

Main/Washington Street or South U.

You said college age, so you wanna go South U.  That means you're looking at Charleys, Brown Jug and Blue Lep on South University Street, about a mile to mile and half from the stadium.  I'd rate them in that order.  If you want somewhere to dance with a bunch of slutty chicks, then Rick's is also an option in the area.

Washington Street provides a mix of college students and older folks (think grad student age and up).

Main street (maybe closest to the stadium) is the older crowd's scene.
