Tickets to WMU: Help Mom With Her Bucket List
Mods, if this post is inappropriate please feel free to delete.
Last Thanksgiving my mother had a very serious medical issue and we almost lost her. She's doing much better these days, but her close call led to some introspection and a desire to knock a few things off her bucket list.
One of those is to see a game in the Big House, so after talking it over with her we decided to attend the WMU game.
As it stands right now I can pick up a block of 4 tickets (Mom, me, my fiancee and my aunt, who is mom's de facto caretaker) in the end zone for around $55 per.
What I'm looking for is a block of 4 tickets either close to the band (mom and my aunt LOVE the band) or simply better seats so she can enjoy more of the experience.
I'm not asking for freebies, but I do want to keep the cost down since we have a handful of other expenses over the weekend on a limited budget.
Anyone able to assist?

Have you checked MGoBlue.com? Tickets still available.
August 11th, 2018 at 10:41 AM ^
No, they're still selling tickets but it's at face.
I can get them cheaper on StubHub.
What I was looking for here was a block in a specific area (or seats that are not available at StubHub) where my money can go to people at the Blog instead of strangers.
August 11th, 2018 at 10:36 AM ^
At this point, Stubhub is probably going to be your best bet.
August 11th, 2018 at 10:38 AM ^
The price I quoted above was from StubHub.
August 11th, 2018 at 10:58 AM ^
This is cool and I would trade tickets with you but my seats are just as shitty. Good luck.
August 11th, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
Is this Frank from Shameless?!
/s
I would think you can get them even cheaper closer to game day.

You're a good son. Hope it works out.
I've never been to the Big House either. Definitely a bucket list item.

Dial 1-800-Oligarch. Thank me later.

Best of luck

I posted earlier and hit “save” but it didn’t post for some reason.
If you message me, I’ll give you the name of a guy in Holland who can prob help you out. He has access to a lot of season ticket holders & he’s helped us out many times. This year he got us a block of 8 to the SMU game.
Let me know if you’re interested. Best wishes.
August 11th, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
I am interested, yes.
Unless I'm missing a trick, I'm not seeing how I can DM you on this site. I'm open to simply providing you with my email address.
August 11th, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
Sorry - I just thought there was a way to message thru this site without posting our email addresses publicly. No way to do that?
August 11th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
If there is, I don't know how.
August 11th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
Well, at the risk of bots, send me an email & I’ll get you his contact info.
Edit - removed my email address after hearing from OP. Hoping all works out well & you find the seats you’re looking for!
August 11th, 2018 at 4:09 PM ^
Sent you an email.
August 11th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
Prices will drop as game approaches, even with a win at ND.
August 11th, 2018 at 12:50 PM ^
I have four together section 41 row 35 you can have them for $60 each. Face is $75. Good seats among a great group of fans.
August 11th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
I'll take them, screw OP!
August 11th, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
He gets 1st chance but if your serious and he declines you can have them.
August 11th, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
I’d ask $250 for them. Let’s see where they get to.
August 11th, 2018 at 2:20 PM ^
How are the acoustics for the band there? Can you hear them pretty clearly during the game? One of the things my mom and aunt are really looking forward to is the band.
August 11th, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
Dude, beggars can’t be choosers.
August 11th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
I think you might have missed the part of the original post where I specifically said that that's what I was looking for.
Normally I would agree with you.
August 11th, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
It’s directly across from the band about eye level. I think the sound is good from any seat in the house but I suppose these would be pretty good for that with them playing right at you.
August 11th, 2018 at 4:04 PM ^
That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, then.
How do you want to go about this?
August 11th, 2018 at 5:46 PM ^
Do you want to send me your email?
August 11th, 2018 at 7:50 PM ^
Email is [email protected].

The band is in the student section, so anywhere low around section 41 is probably the best available spot to hear the band. That being said, I haven't had any problem hearing the band in the last couple of years from anywhere I've sat in the stadium.
