their ya go, save 10 percent on the Michigan / NW Game - 45 instead of 50
and you can buy them now
also, Duffy's in Chicago is offering a tailgate including pre game festivities, transportation to and from the game and a game ticket for 100 each
Any alumni, in Chicago, want to buy two tickets for me? I will come to you to pick them up and will repay you in cash. TIA
you can buy the tickets right now, read the link
Yep, sorry it was a little hard to read and the NU web site is a little difficult to navigate. The 10% at least pays for the mailing charges ($5!!). I got two seats in Section 105 Row 30 (which appears to be the ~15 yard line near the north end zone). Thanks for posting this.
If you have not been there before either get there early or do a shuttle or something similar because my experiences in NW are that the parking was not very good.
Parking is terrible-take the train!
There is very little parking near the stadium and Evanston gets quite congested on game day. The last time I went to a UM/NU game, I rode my scooter. I was able to park between two cars within sight of the stadium. So, if you have access to a motorcycle or scooter, you might be able to do OK. That said, there are shuttle buses that run North and South on Sheridan Road & Chicago Avenue. Also, you can park (not free) along Green Bay Road and walk to the stadium. However, public transportation will most likely be the best option.
Do you have a link for the Duffy's deal?
Allow me to internet for you...
Don't live in Chicago and didn't immediately see it on their website. But I see it now, so thanks.
but didn't know about the Duffy's package. Thanks for the heads up!
taking the train, how close does it take you to the stadium
especially if i took the train from milwaukee
Your best bet might be to get on Metra at Kenosha and get off at Evanston- Davis Street.

If you take Metra from Kenosha, get off at Evanston Central Street and walk east to the stadium - it's much closer.
I couldn't tell from the map, so I'll go with whatever someone actually knows. I do know that I'd rather make the drive to Kenosha and take Metra than take Amtrak right from Milwaukee and transfer over.
Going to Chicago for this game and will look into these tickets, but is it possible to get tickets even more on the cheap (off secondary markets or buying it on gameday)? Just trying to assess the NW ticket situation.
$45 to sit with M fans is a good deal-$100 to party all day with food and drink seems like a better deal. As for tickets on gameday yes you will find face value on game day either at the box office or scalping-face is a fair bet. Plenty of tickets as NW does not sell out although being a night game I suggest $45 now or the $100.
As for the train you will need to connect to the Transit Authority from Amtrak coming from Milwaukee (very easy same platform/terminal) and the train to NW is walking distance-just a few blocks. As for a great hot dog/brat try Mustards Last Stand near the stadium.
Thanks for posting. This is the one road game I may actually go to. The Duffy's deal sounds solid. Has anyone ever done this before, and would you share your experience?
I have not done Duffy's however I did do something similar to last years ND game and although there was a very small contingent of M fan on that 3 hour bus ride it was a FUN ride. Food was decent-not great-brats, hot dogs, cole slaw, potato salad and hamburgers however the booze was quite liberal and they mixed plenty of drinks-hardly felt cheated. Duffy's has been doing this a long time so the staff will be attentive and you will get your $50 dollars worth.
tickets on stubhub right now are 44 dollars at the cheapest, and that does not include the fees and the shipping / download costs. and those were for end zone seats
i got 2 off this deal today sideline seats section 105
Is this the michigan section and do you have to be alumni?
Anyone know?
I just ordered them, and am not an alumni club member, so...no verification required.
I am not an alumni as of yet, and I had no issue getting the tickets.
I already have tickets. Can I just buy the tailgate and transport deal?
call duffy's and find out
I think I shall
i'm 1 row ahead of you section 105 row 29
sounds like we're right next to each other. I'll promise to go easy on the beans in pregame.
Row 38 for me.
No problem on posting this !
How far is that soul food place in evanston from the stadium
they just closed the one in hyde park i heard
looks like i might drive from Milwaukee to kenosha, then train it from K town to Evanston central station
if i drive im hitting the soul food place up first
Best blog ever. Thanks Brew (and married Brian)
Nice! Got four tix for me and the missus, and my Badger nephew and his girlfriend LOL
Just got 5 in sec. 105 row 33..242.00 total
Just bought 6 tickets, also in section 105. Can't beat this price for these seats. My sisters and families all live in Evanston, there are plenty of good deli's and places to go, and I've never had a problem parking for the game. 6pm is a nice time to go too.
I'm waiting for game times at Iowa and Illinois before getting tickets.
Looks like 105 is going to be highly MGoBlog populated. Sounds like fun.
I can't wait! Thanks for posting.
I am trying to order and it won't let me order more than 1. What the hell?
Seems they are sold out and only sold tickets from section 105 rows 29ish to upper 30s. It will be packed with mgobloggers though.
Are all the tickets gone? Trying to purchas, but no luck...anybody have an extras?

The bloc sold out last night, so they added to it this morning and made more available. I had trouble with the web page (could be the ancient browser that is the only one we are allowed to use at work), but I was able to handle it over the phone with Kaitlyn Brady (number in the flyer), former AA swimmer at Michigan.

Was hoping to score 4 tix, but was shut out. This was pretty damned cool that we could purchase tix through NU's web page. Could you ever imagine UM's atheltic department sponsoring a sale for the opposing team's alumni base?! The sheer magnitude - and spending ability - of UM's fan base is amazing.

Does anyone know, for the Duffy's package, is 'transportation' like a bug from Ann Arbor, or is it just from some place in Chicago to the stadium?
Looks like they just released more tickets, just got 6 together in section 105. Buy em up!!
Section 105 row 44...maybe we should plan a Maize out for this section.
I just tried again today and was able to get 3 together in row 44 seat 7-9 sec 105. See you guys there. I'm excited.
