Just got mine on Monday! I donated to their Alumni fund so I could get pre-sale. Lol Got W6 which is standing room only on visitor side for $150 a piece. Can't wait!

I have 4 tickets available.  It really pains me that I'm going to miss Jim Harbaugh's first game as Michigan's head football coach, but I don't have any choice.  These tickets are in section E42, Row 62, on the aisle.   I am asking $260/each for them and am making no profit, as they cost me more.  If interested, shoot me an email at [email protected] .

Thanks for the info and please keep posting. I'm heading up from the L.A. area for the game, still in need of two tickets. I remember my first UM vs ND game in South Bend back in '78. My dad and I left at the crack of dawn, still in need of a ticket. It was a huge showdown, a revival of the rivalry, if you will. A game against the great Joe Montana. 'Who's Joe Montana?", I thought. I was so immersed in maize and blue, I had no idea. Walking to the stadium, I saw a UM guy selling a ticket. I asked how much, he looked at the price on the ticket, I think it was $9, and sold it to me for that, face value! Leach and Co. went on to kick their asses. "Who's Joe Montana?", I thought again. Hoping to run into a little of that luck, again. On both counts!

Yep...can't recommend KSL enough. Just got 4 corner endzone seats for $200 a ticket. For a rivalry game (one of my twins graduated last yea from U of M, the other from the U of U) I would have paid more, but it's nice not to have to break the bank. The only potential complication with a KSL purchase, however, is that a lot of the sellers prefer to do the deal in cash. Since the kids are local in SLC now, it was easy to pull off, but if may be tricky for remote purchasers. Go Blue!

Anyone know which section/area Michigan's tickets will be? Looking to snag 2 @ Utah and would preferably be in Michigan's away section.

I didn't see this until just now so I'll try to answer questions and comments, then I'll post a welcome to Salt Lake post that I normally do for visiting teams, particularly those that haven't been here before.

@umbig: Yes we are in Guardsman in the northeast corner.  You're very welcome to stop by and say hello!
 
@kawter: Typically the alumni association of the visiting school sets up a tailgate on the west side of Guardsman way. As far as bars downtown I like Gracie's, Lumpy's has been the unofficial Utah bar for years and is also downtown.  A little east of downtown are the newly renovated former dive Bar-X and it's next door neighbor Beer Bar.  Craft cocktails at Bar-X and artisan beers at Beer Bar. Both bars are owned by Modern Family's Ty Burrell and Food Network chef Viet Pham.
 
@preed1: I haven't heard officially about the tailgate times but tommya14 is correct.  Guardsman is the second largest parking lot available for students and the students have priority on weekday games.
 
@tommya14: Guardsman tailgate passes are not going to be an option unfortunately.  Guardsman only sells season passes and it has been sold out for over a decade.  Understand that isn't to say that you can't come in.  Anyone is welcome to come in, you just have to have a pass to park a vehicle in there.
 
Also, kawter, yes it is Salt Lake but the sedate tailgating is 45 miles to the south at BYU.  Were this a Saturday game we would be setting up our camp Friday afternoon. I think you and other UM fans will be surprised when you come to the game.

Just bought tickets through someone listing on KSL.  Paid about what we did for nose bleeders in Dallas for the Alabama game a couple years ago.

The seller told me he'd had 5 inquiries this morning already but that I was the first to say "I want to buy them now" ...

The two other sellers I had contacted last night had sold theirs by the time I got back to them this morning.

I have a feeling that MICHIGAN fans are coming in and paying in the $200-$225 range and that Utah ticket owners are starting to list and sell.  I think there will be a LOT of Michigan fans there.

I will be in khakis

No idea if this is allowed or not so if it isn't, no worries in deleting it. Also I can't start new threads so if someone wants to post it as a new thread, go right ahead. I spoke with the manager of the Hilton Garden Inn over the weekend. She's a friend of ours and tailgates with us. If you are considering spending a little extra time in the area, she has a special rate of $159 per night for anyone from mgoblog.com that stays from the 1st to the 5th. I don't know if this fits anyone's schedule but that's $40 per night off of the current going rate. There's a medical convention in town at the same time you guys are here so rooms are a little tight. If you decide to stay there, just mention that you heard about it from Shasta.

Also just an FYI, I just confirmed with Darrell from the Crimson Club Athletic Fund that the Guardsman lot and all areas on campus will open at 6 a.m. on Thursday the third for tailgating.
