Ticket Purchasing Help
I can't find the post that tells me how and when to buy tickets... I thought Seth put something together a while back but I am struggling with the search function on the site. Here's my situation:
I want to go to the Hawaii game and need two tickets. If you were me, sitting on the outside looking in, do you buy now on stub hub or show up at the game hoping to buy them off a scalper? I haven't gone in (far too many) years so I am beyond rusty on the best method. Not too picky other than not wanting to be in either endzone.
Thanks in advance...
I have tickets that I would like be willing to sell. Was getting ready to start looking at how to do this but you beat be to it!
I think the Seth thing is actually a bit old.
Please let me know the details, thanks!
will email you later today / tonight
Expect an email from a wealthy Nigerian Prince too, who is looking for help moving his billions into the US.
don't blow my cover!

I don't think you should have a problem buying tickets from scalpers. If you buy from someone on the corner of Main and Stadium 5 minutes before kickoff they should get decently cheap.
Who are you? Some late-arriving student? Dave Brandon would make you wait in line for hours with that attitude (but he would provide better phone reception and wifi).
Over $60 on stubhub right now...definitely wait for scalpers. \
For Hawaii I would suggest going to a tailgate and waiting for someone to offer them for free.

Too good to sit in the end zone I see...../s

I'm not a broker, but last year I purchased roughly 100 total tickets, all from the secondary market, used a pair to the MSU and OSU games, and sold the rest.
Last year, I thought a young, but decent Oregon State visiting the Big House, coupled with Coach Harbaugh's first game/home opener would be a hot ticket. I purchased 14 tickets for that game hoping to sell for $100/ticket (33% above face value of $75).
I sold 6 tickets (decent corner sections, 40 rows up or so) in August for $115/ticket average. The remaining eight I was scrambling to sell in the days leading up to the game. I finally sold them, maybe 3-5 days before the game, for $57/ticket average, and felt lucky to do so, as the market was flooded.
I purchased and sold 100% through Craigslist.
TL;DR Wait until about 1-3 days before the game to purchase.
Cool story about how you fleeced fellow Michigan fans and their kids. Thanks for sharing. Feel free to not gobble up dozens of tickets just to make a quick buck this year.
I wanted to post something about this, but I'm guessing the only option for MSU tickets would be stubhub/scalpers/personal sellers, right? I'm assuming Michigan's allotment for tickets was sold out when season tickets are renewed. Is there a possibility of more tickets being offered through MGoBlue?
Section 37, row 79. Available now.
If you still have em, I'm interested. my username @ msn.com. Thanks!!!
Go to "Purchase by seat"
You can get 2 tickets close to the 50 yard line on the aisle in adjacent rows (think end of row 50 and 51 and not side by side). Great seats, less than a scalper AND you do Michigan a favor for buying the ticket thrhrough thte Athletic Department.
Can't wait to be there!

Anyone looking to sell Illinois tickets? Only game I would be able to make it up for. Thanks.
Whats your email?
I'm also looking for two tickets to the Hawaii game (as cheap as possible). I want to take my 7 year old daughter to her first Michigan game. If anyone has any extras, please let me know!

Have been burned by scalpers before, I recommend another option. With everything being digital, make sure a ticket is either getting transferred to you or purchase from stubhub or Michigan directly.
Bought hard season stock tickets from someone only to be denied at the gate because he transferred them to someone else. $150 down the drain.
