IF THE HAWKS GET THERE: Anybody on this board have experience or at least an educated guess on how difficult it is to get half way decent sideline seats if wait til the last minute - and the cost. I don't even know if the place generally sells out for this game. Don't care much to make the trip and sit in the end zone. If Ohio State wins the East, my thought is that their fans, or at least those on a budget, may be of the mindset that they have bigger fish to fry in the playoffs, even though Columbus is not that far away.

I too would be interested. I have heard that the scalp market is pretty reasonable but who knows.
Season ticket holders were able to put in their orders through the ticket office starting last night. Which I did, bad karma be damned. The application said seats would be between the endzone and 30 yard line, levels 100-400. Much better than what is available on Ticketmaster or StubHub right now, at least for the low price of $80.
The game does not sell out and scalping/secondary market is relatively easy.
Yes, everything I've read is historically no sellout, and easy secondary market. I agree that OSU fans may not turn out so well since they'll assume a CFP semifinal and final are in front of them. MSU fans may be similar if they beat OSU.
That's because we have never made the championship game before.
I agree with this. Most Iowa fans were anticipating 6-8 wins and it was total doom and gloom in January. If Iowa represents the west, I think it sells out with 60-70 percent Iowa fans.
On the other hand, we can't even get people off the couch to sell out a 2:30pm game this weekend, so maybe we are overestimating the fan interest by a tad.
Not if we play Ohio State. We will be the minority. There will be a good chance it will sell out, but Buckeye fans gobble up tickets even more than Hawks - especially since they are so close to Indy. Unfortunately.
Last year attendance was listed as 60,229 (OSU/Wis). Lucas Oil holds 67,000.

Yep, Ohio is right next door. Western Ohio metros of Dayton and Cinn are like driving to Ia City from DesMoines. Columbus 2hr 40m. Eastern Indiana probably has a lot of tOSU fans as well. These people can do the entire trip same day with 1 tank of gas.
I don't disagree with you that it could be a ripoff. That said, the reservation fee was only $25 a ticket a couple of week ago and guaranteed a Lower-Lvel Mid-Field Club ticket which are very decent seats (even the small section in the 200 level). Who cares if Iowa doesn't make it and you are out $25?
You have no problem just wiping your ass with 25 bucks? That's a steak dinner.
Thanks ichawk. Yes, I'm familiar with OxyContin, and have had clients hooked on it - just didn't put 2 and 2 together in the context of Oxy currency. I suppose it is used as currency in certain circles. There's just so damn many acronyms these days with multiple meanings.
Anyway - Let's go Hawks!
