Reserving tickets to semi-final game

[BDizzle]

I was also able to get 2 tickets today from cat friends for $100/ticket. Not quite sure what face value is. Tuesday he wanted $1000/ticket. haha.

I have to say this sounds less than awesome for us Cat fans that aren't season ticket holders and want to try to make it to the game. We either get to Duke it out on the computer at 10 AM Monday or get gouged by season ticket holder folks buying up tickets.

And before anyone says, why aren't you a season ticket holder? Not everyone lives near the stadium and can go all the time. But this is a once in a lifetime game. I'll move heaven and earth to go to it, but I'm anticipating a ****** show.

Just to clear some things up. We ALWAYS allow season ticket holders to request 4 extra tickets for every game. All they did differently was increase that from 4 to 8. You know why it has NEVER been an issue before? Because even allowing those ticket holders an extra 4, there are still tickets available.

Now we have a BIG game. Demand at an all time high. MSU increased this REQUEST for extra tickets from 4 to 8. Why? To ensure that every single ticket possible would be in the hands of Cat fans. That's good! Start reaching out to your fellow Cat fans. If they haven't given them to friends and family, let's hope they sell at face value and pack the place!

I'm sorry. This just feels a lot like an NFL season ticket holder being upset they can't get into the Super Bowl without paying a fortune despite being a great fan. They have to draw the line someplace and at some point money will talk. I don't like that but it's reality.

Stupid. Why not keep it at 4…. Cat fans would have purchased every single ticket during the pre sale. Every Cat fan on here saying this ****** has a ticket in hand. Would you be ok with this if it meant you missed the game? Doubt it

My point is have you ever complained about those 4 extras? Probably not. But just because, let's say they DID keep it at 4 extras instead of 8 extras. Maybe you would have got those tickets. But still every Cat fan wouldn't have had tickets! That's what I'm saying. We would have the same complaining, but just different people complaining.

Maybe this will be a net positive and increase season ticket holders. Get enough of those and get a stadium expansion!

But to answer your question; IF my 30 years of ticket holding wasn't enough, and IF I went from 4 to 8 to 10 to 18 tickets every year wasn't enough, and IF my other donations weren't enough and others got an opportunity for EXTRA tickets before me.......no I wouldn't be pissed. I'd have a watch party with friends and family and if it was SO important to me I'd look to get on the lost for season tickets next year!

Good perspective for sure. I apologize if I came off rude, just bummed out for the fans that can’t make it.

Oh no, you didn't at all. I get the frustration. I really do. I have friends and family hitting me up and I hate that I'll have to tell most of them no. But this was all part of the plan to ensure it is CAT fans packing our stadium!

Who is more likely to get 2 tickets and try to sell them for outrageous prices? Is it the season ticket holder or the guy off the street who rarely goes to games? We all know the answer.

I'd say the guy with 4 tickets is much more likely to get his wife and kids, etc to the game of a lifetime vs the guy who randomly receives 12 instead of 4, who can still take his wife and kids and then fund a trip to Nashville with the rest.

Ok but you intentionally cut off the rest of my post to make your point. Kudos.

I said that there are likely very many great Cat fans on the outside looking in. Just like there would have been if they didn't give extras at all. 21,000 is 21,000. But the fact remains that if the goal is to get ONLY Cat fans in the stadium, it's a much safer bet giving extras to season ticket holders to start; rather than any guy off the street that may or may NOT be as great of a fan as yourself.

People are just now getting their extras. Despite the belief that many will just be sold for huge profit, I feel better and better each day that these extras will go to Cat fans for a reasonable price 99% of the time. Start hitting up all your Cat fans.

If it's any consolation my adult daughter just asked me if I had tickets and even though I started with 26 today, I had to tell her I don't! She'll have to hit up all her friends and cross her fingers. But she asked me to late and thus is life. But every single one of mine went to Cat fans!

Cat fans are super generous! Got two today for face value. Haven't been this nervous or excited for a game in a long time.

Good for you HG! And yes, Cat fans are salt of the earth. But you must not be one of the super douchey fans to get those tix. Enjoy the game!

And just got another free ticket from a season ticket holder. Much better than $1000.

$150 each for $30 tickets? Guess more UM fans will get in.

I'm glad you were able to be there in person.
