MSU Red Cedar Message Board

This is probably true, but there were plenty of times when I was a student when I didn't have $100 to my name, especially towards the end of semesters. And rightly or wrongly, it seems that a lot of alumni from both schools are more worried about being able to afford a trip to Pasadena.

It's not the fall of 2008, but the economy still sucks and it's not really surprising that a football game in the rust belt failed to sell out.

Grab Grandma and the twins and throw them in the back of the pickup. Call every Spartan you know and guilt-trip them into going. Just think of all the electricity you'll use staying if you stay home and watch it on that big-screen TV.

All the crap about UM getting a BCS spot is because they "draw the crowds." We'll never have a better chance to show the selection committee how well the Spartans support their team. Get your ass to the damn game!

Couldn't agree more. Just look at how crowded all the bars get for a game like this. Not to mention, Chicago is closer than East Lansing. Seems like it'd work out quite well for them.

So it's basically Nebraska and other fans trying to resell their tickets. They really were confident before the year started.

Driving back to the Chicago-area myself. Shouldn't be too bad with 3 people to split the driving.

6.99 now on stubhub

Will we see 5 dollars by tomorrow

No reason we should not represent strong in Indy. These prices are nuts

Something just happened. 5000 tix disappeared and they're not concentrated in just one part of the arena. Very strange

Just got 2 tickets in the 7th row for ~150. We better win this bad boy.

Just copped a pair of the $13 tickets in the upper deck. Could have gotten better tickets by spending more but I'm happy to be going at all.

EDIT: with the fees and $19.95 overnight shipping, it ended up being like $51 total. Not bad. $25 and change each.

Mannn, it's comical how badly botched this ticket thing is. I just messed around on the ticketmaster website and pulled up 8(!) together in section 113, 15th row. Section 113 is the 50 yard line. I already have my tickets and I'm happy with them, but it's just brutal that 72 hours away from the game these tickets are now being available after not being available past times they've sold tickets. Everytime tickets have been up for sale in the past they've either "sold out" or corners in the upperdeck are the only thing available.

It's kind of funny/sad the B1G decided to puff their chest out and tout the demand for this game for months and now that the game is days away they are now struggling to sell seats on the 50 yard line because it's either too late or many were/are under the impression the game was sold out. It's also pretty lame MSU decided to do the same as I'm sure when it was announced many MSU fans either decided to skip the game entirely or buy seats not in the MSU sections so they are more scattered. For those still looking, plenty of good pairs are still available in the MSU section for face with a free pickup at will call. http://ev9.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3AMICH%3AF11%3ABTC%3A&linkID=michst&shopperContext=&pc=&caller=appList&appCode=&groupCode=F&cgc=

The 600 level tix being available for cheap never has surprised me. Back when I was debating to buy tickets months ago these were the ones I could find. I'm sure fans of the other 10 schools not playing scooped them up and thought as a fall back plan they could scalp them for profit later. Too bad for them 10K+ other fans had similar plans as well.

Here's the link to ticketmaster if you want to sit 15 rows up on the 50 with 7 of your friends for face value as MSU plays for the Rose Bowl. http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/050046D1062DCE7F?majorcatid=10004&artistid=1620971&minorcatid=8

Stubhub has some kind of cut off where they don't allow people to ship them anymore. Don't know how those 4,000 are sold though

Fansnap is at 11,000 now too...they were well over 20,000 earlier today....did 10,000 tickets really change hands?
