wtf is going on with the tickets???
- Thread starter PSUWrestlingFanSince2011
- Start date
They aren't staffed for this situation and it's not surprising the whole thing is a mess as it's the first time they've done this
But still a mess. Wonder how it's going for ND, Texas and OSU

Rumor is Tennessee fans and brokers got the OSU pre-sale code and bought it out. Expecting a ton of orange and unfilled seats, but a sell out.
Who would have believed ND/IU would be the hottest ticket? $1k for some seats.
Who is controlling it? I just came across this tweet from Tengwall.
I was just about to post this. The Beav is simply hosting the event. Everything else is the NCAA. and the NCAA is so well run....
This is also their first rodeo with the 12 team playoff. So the NCAA is making it up as they go along with four stadiums that never hosted a playoff game before.
It almost seems like these games are more for TV than for the attendee; it's like Studio Football.I was just about to post this. The Beav is simply hosting the event. Everything else is the NCAA. and the NCAA is so well run....

Aren't they all for TV? Why do you think there were rule changes to make games shorter? Once upon a time, kick-offs were at 1:00pm and the clock stopped to reset the chains after every first down. Any out of bounds play stopped the clock, not just in the last two minutes of the half. These were all changes made to accommodate TV.
Yes, but the powers that be seem to want the environments for these playoff games to be antiseptic and balnd. I mean, if you were good enough to be awarded with a home game, why should the road team be treated any differently than a road team during the regular season; you don't see that in the NFL Playoffs?

How will everyone know when to “MAKE SOME NOISE!!”
Probably makes sense due to proximity of both teams
I know a guy who owns an AA baseball team. Shockingly, he told me that everything between the lines is hands-off. He has nothing to do with field conditions, players, umpires, team transportation, and ticket sales/revenues. The stadium is owned by the city. So he gets food concessions and parking. That's it.
I think this may be the same. PSU simply gets the stadium stuff. I'll bet they only get a portion of ticket sales, if anything at all. But the vast majority is TV rev. Model moved the Browns despite having an 88,000 sold out stadium every week. His move had nothing to do with the stadium or ticket sales. I'll bet the Ravens sell much fewer tickets than the browns did.
Also curious about schedules with the band , cheerleaders etc.. I mean this is all during Xmas break..crowd will
Likely not be nearly as loud or intimidating with such few students..
good questions. also game day music and atmosphere. While we'll have a whiteout, I am not sure we'll have the same treatment for pre-game and things like the slow/fast wave. I understand SMU will have an entry video with potential pyrotechnics. This is something we've not seen for home games.
Got my "Action Required" email on 11/14.
Got a confirmation email that I 'enrolled' for tickets on 11/15
Got my "Action Required" email for parking on 11/27
Got my confirmation email for parking on 11/29
Got my confirmation email of securing tickets and parking on 12/8
Not sure when tickets showed up but they are in my account now.
ND a much smaller stadium (only hold just under 78K), so there's 33K less tickets available.... Basic economics rule of Supply & Demand says that at the same fan demand level, ND tickets will cost much more because supply is 30% lower.
if you don't go very often, go to the Hills shopping center and take the bus. they keep an open lane for the busses and you'll probably get from the Hills Shopping Center to the Stadium in about a half hour. It is less than $5 round trip and free for Seniors.

My band kid reports back to town on Friday the 20th for one day of rehearsal. They’ll be repeating one of the shows from earlier this season.
I’m debating taking him up on Friday myself and staying overnight and seeing if I can snag a cheap single ticket for Saturday. (Other option is to let him drive up himself in my wife’s car. May depend on the weather.)
I should note that he doesn’t have any finals so he’s coming home Saturday. I suppose the band members who have finals will just stay up there.
I don’t need transportation, need a parking pass and tickets. Seems like a glitch with the season ticket holders.

well, if you park at hills and take the bus in, you'll have a good experience without the price or tailgating opportunity. Its a choice.
My tickets are in my Nittany Lions app where my season tickets and individual event tickets are always available.
As for parking, I got an email yesterday saying it’s been mailed and it included a FedEx tracking number.
