Should be able to buy from NW website. I bought 6 a month ago.
They’re cheaper than tickets at Michigan, that’s for sure. I bought them last month from their school website, and they were under $70 for 30 yard line. Maybe start there.
If suggest you make your acccomodations now and buy tickets on stub hub the night before.
Seconded I’ve done last minute secondary market for this game a bunch of times and have always paid well below face.
Also get there in time to tailgate it’s tiny but charming. There will be tents and flags for like 20 top academic schools with maybe 1/3 being NW branded.
several years ago this was a good strategy. it's much riskier now. i recommend going to stubhub in advance. pay the extra $20-30 bucks to ensure a ticket. i went up there in 2009(?) and even the scalpers were sold out.
That will depend on the game. Northwestern against Rutgers? Buy as you walk to the stadium. Northwestern against Nebraska? Get them earlier than game day or you could miss out
My daughter attends NU and my wife just got an email that single game tickets for the Michigan game are now sold out. Looks like Stub Hub or on the street.
I love games there. About a third of the crowd is our fans.
Try 60-70% Michigan fans. I've been at the last 3 or 4 M-Northwestern games. Yep, I saw the Dileo Power Slide, MOON, and the BWC Sprint in person.
I too love in Milwaukee and just got two tickets off StubHub. Ryan Field is a great place to watch a game. WellW be in section 121.
Hate to disagree, but Ryan Field is NOT a great place to watch a game. Very little "football" atmosphere and the place is run-down and has almost zero amenities (bathrooms suck and the concessions are better at a county fair. I will grant you that the Michigan crowd is awesome and does fill a large part of the place. I have been to many UofM games there ... and will be there again this fall !
Go Blue!
Also see: Weird sightlines. If you're sitting anywhere but between the thirties, it's pretty awful unless the action happens to be in your respective corner.
Also, the last few Michigan games have been brutal to watch.
I'd buy by the end of August. Northwestern and Fitzgerald are legit and if they get off to a good start, tickets on the secondary market will do nothing but go up in price.
Don't forget the size of our alumni base and fanbase in the Chicago area, either----demand will rise and supply will fall once the season draws near. I'd be competing for those same tickets myself if not for my niece's wedding in GR that afternoon.
The nerve of some relatives to get married on a football Saturday.
This is a good point--if this were a late October-November game, you could count on NU starting out hot and doing their inevitable collapse on a dime, at which point NU fans jump ship instantly. It's kind of amazing. Buy early.
I and a group of 25 friends landed 26 tickets in a block through their ticket office over the phone. This was the morning they were put on sale though, and I heard that they sold out pretty quickly.
I am pumped to see Michigan play somewhere other than the Big House. Only other away game I've seen live was Utah 2015.
To your question - I'd wait until NW trips up in the nonconference and then pluck some aftermarket seats.
I bought group seats through Northwestern for this game. I have extra seats available if you’re interested. I’m not sure of the location - they are somewhere on the sideline - not the endzone. Everyone in the group is a Michigan fan!
4 tickets?
I have 4 tickets available! Please send me contact info and I’ll send you more details.
Edit
I sent you an email yesterday. Let me know if you don't find it...
Anyone have 4 tickets to the game against Nebraska?
Both Michigan and Northwestern have sold out on their websites. SeatGeek has been holding steady at about $60 for the endzone for a month or 2. Endzone seats aren't my fav, does anybody have any insight into sitting in this particular endzone?
They start the season with Purdue, Duke and Akron. Could be 1-2 after that, but could easily be 3-0. Maybe waiting to buy just before won't help.
I live in the Milwaukee area also
I got my tickets thru the NW Website
otherwise Stubhub is solid and you might find them cheaper their
I plan on avoiding the tolls and taking 94 until I get just past the border, than taking 41 til I get back on 94 .
As for the pre or post game stuff - Dixie Kitchen is always solid
As for the game and stadium- Horrible sound system, Horrible concessions areas, they always run out of coca cola by halftime. I'd bring cash cuz I don't know if they have modernized the concessions area.
I was planning to buy stubhub but I also had questions about NU.
Some of the tickets on Stubhub at midfield are listed as "obstructed view." how would that be?
best parking lot to tailgate in? Is it first come first served on the lots? How early should I get there to set up?
On the press box side there is a second deck with pillars
Got my tickets for family from Michigan, staying out near the airport and making a weekend of it. Just waiting for the time of the game to be announced.
My wife and I have reservations, but I have a board certification exam the next weekend.
I'll probably still be there.
