Tickets for The Game
Does anyone know what section Michigan's allotment is/is usually in? Also, if Michigan's allotment has already been sold? Four tickets together are going for a minimum of $500 a pop on Stubhub, and if we're going to be spending that kind of money I'd rather be amidst comrades.

The fans are awful, but the stadium itself is pretty great. Easily a top 5 CFB stadium, if we're being honest.

Yep. There's a reason Bill Martin went down there to tour their renovations before he did the Michigan Stadium project--they did a great job. It's a great place to see a game, and I don't understand why any Michigan fan would automatically say no to doing it once. Greatest rivalry in sports--you'd rather watch it on TV?

I know you're entitled to your opinion, but if there's ever been an opinion closer to being objectively wrong than "watching football on TV is always better than in person," I don't know what it is.

That was 30 years ago. A lot has changed since then.
Badger fans used to be terrifying to visitors too, but we aren't scared of Camp Randall.

Last time I sat in the M section was 2006, I want to say 35A, and other fans going vertically up the end of that walled-in part of the horseshoe. Think there was also a small group in 29A. Then they throw our band all the way on the other side in the "U" of the horseshoe.
Again, this info may be dated. I've gone back since but can't remember since I wasn't in official M seats.

I will be in the M section this year, but haven't received those tickets yet.

where the inbreds from Ohio have married their cousins. That would be the sections between the goal lines and the ones outside of them.

You need a valid student ID to use a student ticket. Otherwise, it's like $200 to upgrade the ticket to general admission.

"Got shitty seats, and they were indeed shitty!"
OK.
October 16th, 2016 at 11:30 AM ^
Ok.

Wrigley Field is also a great place to see a game.
There are very few stadiums out there that don't have obstructed view somewhere. As with anything, a little research and a seating chart are your friend with an older stadium.

finding an obstructed view in the Big House. No matter where you sit, you can see the play, and you can see the scoreboard. It's not rocket surgery.
October 16th, 2016 at 2:03 PM ^
But it's a known factor. I've attended games there three times and basic research told me what tickets to avoid. As a consequence, I had a great time. Bando makes the argument for Wrigley, but it's the same as the argument for Tiger Stadium--some obstructed seats, yes, but also a great place.
Michigan Stadium is better, but that doesn't mean that the Shoe isn't a great setting for football, because it is. You'll get flack from fans, but be polite to those around you and they'll be polite to you.
Just don't sit in the B level under the upper deck.

If you're talking about that little corner up near the old press box, the obstructed-view seats up there didn't even have seat numbers on them--they never sold the tickets...

It's not nearly as bad as it used to be. If you have the money, this is a year you should go. There is no reason to be scared of them unless you either are instigating with them or you're not smart about where you go (i.e. don't walk alone in sparsely populated areas after the game).
I'm sick of Michigan fans acting like crybabies about going to games in Columbus.
You will not be attacked in the stadium. I went in 2014 and the OSU staff threw out several OSU fans just for yelling slurs at specific Michigan fans. They have cracked down. I was sitting next to drunk ex-frat bros and they were FRIENDLY with me. And this was when Michigan was WINNING 14-7 and tied at halftime.
As for tickets, I believe we are going again, but I would wait at least a little bit longer before buying as they should drop a little.
8C is Michigan's upper deck section. AA 14 or AA 12 are the really good seats that will be Michigan. I believe 8 A is also a few Michigan seats. Our band sits in either 8AA or 6AA. So generally you want to be in the northeast corner of the stadium. Avoid B Deck.

Doubt tickets are going "down" unless 1 team loses. "Get in" price right now for bad seats is over $400 a pop. Good seats are well over $1k a pop.
October 16th, 2016 at 1:11 PM ^
Even for big games, they almost always drop at least a little bit the week of because the people who have posted tickets but actually can't go (traveling for Thanksgiving, for example) lower the prices to get them sold.
Anywhere in A deck is a good seat and there are a bunch for $550-$700.
You should not be paying over $1000.
October 16th, 2016 at 1:26 PM ^
Well it's supply and demand I guess, but Columbus is a big market so I doubt the demand drys up.
October 16th, 2016 at 1:43 PM ^
October 16th, 2016 at 1:11 PM ^
Part of that might've stemmed from the fact that they did not deem us as a threat at all to beat them, but a lot of people act like going to an OSU game is like they're going to an Eagles game in Philly and they're decked out in Giants gear.
Just don't pick fights, walk in public places with a lot of people, and you'll be fine.

If it is per ticket, keep doing research. But don't be picky--this game may be an all-timer.
