Montana vs North Dakota State on ESPN (2015)

[BisonCardinal]

Montana! A woman isn't sexy until her gut hangs out further than her boobs! I want some of that! Not.

I went to Griz-Bison last year in Fargo and we were allotted 500 total tix. They were about $58 each after fees. This year's game in zoo town is going to be a $67 face value, not much different than their charges last year. We are giving them 700 tickets from my understanding.

 

[CDAGRIZ]

So Bison fans on their forum are complaining that UM is going to charge $70 for tickets. I kinda find that hard to believe to be true. Does anyone on here know how much tickets are going to be? I'd figure that UM would charge the same amount to NDSU fans for tickets that they charge UM fans.

Someone posted the link to the $70 ticket price (fees included) for NDSU fans. http://www.gobison.com/news/2015/6/10/FB_0610152308.aspx

I might not be aware, but I didn't think we charged more for tickets for visiting fans. Anyone have any idea on how much tickets for Griz fans will be?

Tickets are going to be griz cat price. Prob about 60ish a ticket total. However getting them is going to to intersting. From talking with the box office and ath. Dept i would be expecting 2k-3 tickets avalible most all on the south end. Ndsu will have a block of south endzone tickets and 20yd tickets. Right now they are expecting it to sell out in under 30 mins and they referenced the Paul. M online sale what to expect online that day. They educated me to buy the first set i get online because there may not be a chance you get to try for different seats. They are planning on bringing all temp. Bleachers they can which will add 300-500 actual seats and were looking if it was possible to sell SRO tickets but didnt think they could get fire coding to allow it.

Given the girth & lethargy of the UNDSU's fans, the vast majority would parish, either sitting or standing, if a small to moderate conflagration were to break out. I say they relax the fire codes for this game. Of course we do have a resident expert on the subject. Perhaps he will weigh in?

UNDSU fans, that last part wasn't a fat joke!

I would suggest they keep the fire codes as is for this game, lest some monster who has or has not been researching the melting point of steel and concrete get any ideas. Just a few controlled burns would be all it would take. In theory. Just kidding. But seriously.

Sorry but $60/ticket is ridiculous for a college football game, no matter the matchup.

I do not disagree with you, but ... I pay what the Griz ask.

Hard to touch ANY ticket to just about ANY event for under $70-$75 these days. Can't go to a concert, a play, or a sporting event any more without costing an arm and a leg.

I'm just not looking forward to paying for five tickets at that price

Griz cat, and more recently the ewu game has been in that neighborhood. High, yes - but until people quit buying tickets here we are

The price doesn't seem out of line, especially since it includes fees. Wasn't the face value for tickets to home coming and the Cat game about $60.00 last year?

I grew up in the Midwest (east of Fargo). From Green Bay to Bismarck, those tight screws would drive two towns over to save 6 cents on a 12-pack of toilet paper . They don't squawk when automakers raise car prices $2500 but will brow beat the butcher when hamburger goes up 3 cents a pound. Their favorite beer is called "whatever's on sale." In high school (drinking age was 18) you paid 85 cents deposit for a case of bottled beer and you'd get your a** kicked if you broke one and cost the deposit.

$70 is a week's supply of cheddar brats and pork rinds for Pete's sake, so go easy on 'em.

To be fair, 3 cents a pound really adds up with how much we eat.

Tickets are $61. NDSU fans aren't used to paying that price because they don't have more than 27,000 die-hard fans trying to get tickets to a stadium that officially seats 25,203. While I will never disparage the NDSU football program for its success, their fan base pales in comparison to the sheer size and intensity of Griz Nation.

Oh really? when you bring 30,000 fans to a FBS game on the road, or 15,000 to Texas in a title game, you cant spout off like that, sorry.

$60/ticket for the biggest game in Montana history isn't a big deal

Griz90 is right, though. There is really no comparison between the size of the fan bases. You guys, like EWU, are very new to this. You'll learn.

How can you compare size of fan bases? Are you doing it off the stadium capacity?

Careful, CDA. I know what you're trying to say here. But, truth be told, when you compare the actual SIZE of the fan bases at Montana vs. UNDSU, .... well, let's just say the scales tip heavily in their favor.

 

[bearister]

Sorry to burst your bubble, BSNation, but the Griz have played in a few post-season games more important than this non-conference game.

Bahahaha! Great point!

1. Use the quote function properly. It's not that difficult.
2. Griz Nation > T-Buff Region. It's not debatable for the objective and/or intelligent.

True, unless you are measuring intake of pounds of healthy food/day.

Healthy food? What is that?... Do you mean when I get diet Coke with my 3 supersized value meals from McDonalds?
