Never had a problem before. This is their HC game last year with the same start time and a high temp of 69 that day > Tons and tons of empty seats. This year, the temp is projecting 15 to 20 degrees cooler, meaning the average 80 year old goofer fan won't show and his grandkid will be selling his tickets outside. Also, last year they were coming off a 3 point loss to MSU, not a drubbing from Maryland. Overall, attendance is lower this year and people are more tired of Fleck. Even if you have to buy a s#it seat, there will be plenty of room to filter down and that pisspot is so small it doesn't really matter where your seats are anyway.
Plenty of tickets available for Minnesota
- Thread starter TCity Hawk
- Start date
Great place to try out the local craft beers while watching a football game live. Crazy concept instead of going to a sports bar.
Wish Iowa would do this at Kinnick with all the local Iowa craft beer houses at a reasonable price.

We should organize a convergence/crawl/takeover/tour by Hawkeye fans of several local BP's before kickoff! Who's up....or down for it?
How does that work, I wonder?
BOTTOM LINE: I would predict that scalpers are going to be asking for a lot less that $88/ticket, which is the lowest price on the internet at the moment.
On the U of M's web site, there are tickets starting at $88 ($80 face plus $8 in fees) that nobody wants to buy.
On StubHub if you want 2 tickets, the starting price after all fees is $120/ticket. Link: https://www.stubhub.com/minnesota-g...1&ticket_id=1368890729&ticketRank=3&byo_qty=2
Supply and demand is definitely at work at the moment. Their stadium only seats 50,800. The Metrodome, their previous home, sat roughly 65,000, so the supply is definitely an issue when teams like Wisky, Iowa and Nebbie come to town.
Something has to give. Will the U of M simply distribute freebies? Will the prices come down on StubHub? Will these tickets all work their way to scalpers?
There will be tickets available at the Hawkeye Huddle and outside the stadium, that is for sure. This game is a little more tricky since its their homecoming, which also might drive up demand a bit.
But, again, BOTTOM LINE: I would predict that scalpers are going to be asking for a lot less that $88/ticket, which is the lowest price on the internet at the moment.
If you already have tickets, when you are walking to the stadium and see a scalper, ask what he is asking. I bet you are going to be surprised.

Think I have Friday planned. A few of us are hitting up Top Golf and then a few breweries from north to south: Indeed, Bauhaus and then Surly.
That might change but it’s a start.

I will never forget in 2010 when a scalper just outside TCF had tickets fanned out in his hands like he was playing a card game; he was asking $10 per ticket and there were no takers
granted, it was the weekend after Thanksgiving, it was colder than heck (it had snowed recently, the temp was in the low 20's and there was a wind chill), MN had just fired Brewster and Iowa was having a very disappointing season

Someone mentioned using the gametime app the morning of the game.
anybody ever do this? how does it work? does it work well?

I’ll be looking for four. Haven’t even started scoping around yet. Taking some younger kids with me so hoping the cheap option comes up, otherwise we’ll be watching at a mall sports bar (land of 10,000 malls).

Their fan support is garbage. That's been true for years.
It was great in the old Metrodome days when it really was Kinnick north. Not the same feel in TCF, although it's a nice college football venue.
Hope someone can get the message to the cheerleader squad. I’m bringing 6 Hawkeye Fans!!
