Looking for 2-4 tickets to Illinois Saturday
- Thread starter kwik44
- Start date
From the name of the thread I thought you were wanting to buy tickets and almost opened up this thread to suggest you could probably buy them the night of the game as I have done before. If possible you might want to add a ? in the name of the thread to attract people who might also have interpreted you request incorrectly.
I was replying to the original poster who was looking for 2-4 tickets. I happen to have 2 tickets, which is why I replied. I am not sure there is a reason for the original poster to add a ? to the thread title.
I'm confused as well. I don't know why he quoted you, but directed his comment to the OP.
Also not sure why the OP needs a question mark when he's made a statement.
I need 2 or 3 myself. The darn Illinois fans and the orange crush probably bought them all already.

Doubt it, man. Illinois will always bring a few more fans than your average Big Ten school given the proximity to the border and that Illini fans travel well, but we are simply drained as a fan base. There might be a decent turnout and it might show with the "Whiteout Game" or whatever, but you aren't going to see ANYWHERE near past games like 2005, for example. I went to that one (VERY good game, Iowa played the #1 Illini super tough both times that year), and there were no fewer than 5,000 Illini fans plus the Orange Krush. Those days are long gone for the time being.

A- I was front row in the old Hawks Nest at that point. It was loud. I remember Dee Brown talking trash to the student section after you made a big run and Robert Gallery stood up from the floor seats, towering over Brown, and told him get the *something* back to his bench. Brown kind of jumped a bit and left. It was hilarious, until we lost.
B- I still think they are coming tomorrow. They will dress in their black and yellow and take it off right before tip. It drives me crazy. There is no other reason why this game would be sold out. Our fans have not been doing a great job of supporting this team.
I looked on Seat Geek too and the cheapest I saw was $85 a ticket and some a lot more.
I got tickets to the Indiana game Tuesday for $19 apiece after fees on Seat Geek.
