Buying tickets at the game/scalpers

Recommended Posts

Has anyone bought tickets from the guys hawking tickets outside AH?  Considering hitching a ride with my son for the game tomorrow. I just need one seat, but don't want to pay above face value. What kind of deals can you get from these people?

 

Or, does anyone have a ticket they aren't using and would be able to have it issued from will call?

 

I haven't looked at Stub Hub. I am only thinking about going because I am concerned about the weather and wanted to ride along or drive up with my son.

Tried for Michigan, not a single scalper in sight! Asked around, and it appears that IUPD is instructed to keep scalping from happening, hence the lack of tickets in the open. The box office will not allow buying up from student tickets anymore, so your only option is online, either craigslist, stubhub or others for tickets. Sorry for the bad news, but times are changin'.

I remember people asking if I had any extra tickets as we approached AH. We would have been coming from the parking lot walking towards the walkway next to the football indoor practice field.  I don't want to ride up there for two hours and listen to the game in the car or drive into town to watch on TV.

 

I am curious if the weather will keep people away. I might call the ticket office in the morning to see if there are any tickets in the building and move at halftime.

I saw a couple of scalpers on 17th before the Purdue game recently. They looked like they were trying to do it discretely though. Might be sketchy, but there's a possibility.

I went to Michigan game and there aren't any scalpers in the parking lot or the sidewalk up to AH but on the main street on the other side of Memorial I saw quite a few with signs selling and buying tickets
