Michigan Football Tickets

If anyone is looking for Michigan Football Tickets go to Dolly's Tickets' website. I just bought great tickets for the Michigan vs. Ohio State game. If you use Promo Code: HIGHFIVE at checkout, you get an additional 5% off. I looked around everywhere and didn't find any other site that had better prices. Check them out!

I may need tickets for the NW game.

Michigan's ticket office told me that they probably won't have enough to sell to the general public after taking care of all their special orders.

Northwestern's ticket office told me to send in the online order form, but they could not guarantee that I'd get tickets. (probably because I'm from Michigan)

So, I may end up having to go thru a site like Dolly's or Stub Hub ...

Yeah Michigan probably is sold out of them. Sites like Dolly's Tickets have their inventory already bought up before the general public can even get them. I've compared both StubHub and Dolly's for several ticket purchases and Dolly's has always been cheaper. Not only that, but you know the tickets are coming from a reliable broker and not someone who posts their tickets on StubHub and jacks up the price.

Yes I have, Geo.

He gave me some tips on whom to contact for tickets.

I'll be there.

Lines, you'll have to sit next to Dad. He's going. You can keep him warm!

I can't make that game, but I hope to see you at Scio for SOMETHING!

Since Dad and I have a pair of tickets, and he's not using all of them, you can always come sit with me and the Dillons. I think EMU I'll have a spare and maybe now the Minny game. Dad was coming but might shift that date to the Purdue game. He likes to watch Danny Hope get his whoopin'. SDSU might be on the table, too, but I need to confer with Doug.

I just got a pair of tix for Purdue. A friend of mine sold me his.

Its probably going to be a week-to-week process this year. I won't know which games I'll be at until the last minute. I'm not going to give an arm and a leg for the "premium" games.

I received the extra tickets that were purchased, but not my season ticket package yet. Did anyone receive theirs yet? Usually it is the reverse.

I'm going to be coming up for a few games this year; WMU, ND, EMU, OSU and possibly Purdue.

I have tickets for WMU (thanks Doug!), EMU and Purdue. I also have a line on a ticket for ND. I may need a single for OSU. It's also possible that I may need pairs, so if you are looking to get rid of any, please let me know. You can email me at mpitts@gmail.com or text me (PM here for my cell if you don't have it).

I look forward to seeing everyone at the tailgate in a few weeks!

I may need tickets for the NW game.

Liney, would you like to use my Florida Address? I've purchased twice directly from the NW ticket office for Michigan games, never a problem. Mind you, I am on their e-mail list and usually purchase immediately once they become available. I was hoping to link up with JB & Doug this fall but the first week of October is unfortunately off the table.

As you know, Chicago is one damn fine and civilized venue for football.

Thanks, OP. I appreciate the help.

I'm sure I'll be able to snag some tickets. I'm going to re-contact the NW ticket office on Monday, and if I strike out there, I've got a couple other places bookmarked for the tickets I need, at a fairly reasonable price.

Too bad you couldn't make it to Evanston. We would enjoy seeing you again.

Our season tickets came last week, George. Hold tight, Canada Post might be the bottleneck.

Well, I just bought my tickets on http://hiidontpostherebutithoughtiwo...nyiworkfor.com
and they were quite reasonable!

Do we have a thread yet regarding this season's tailgating plans/road games?

I haven't been here since 2 weeks ago and have gotten waaaaaaaaay behind on reading and posting to threads, so I haven't seen anything regarding an M-Borg road game until now in this thread.

Rob ..... probably NWU in Evanston Oct. 8th but not firm. Chitown seems an easy drive for most with Iowa City and Champaign being pretty tough to get to easily in a day.

Keep in mind the NWU game is already tabbed for a 7P (CT) KO on ESPN so, it will be a Sunday drive home for sure.

In our case, we're doing the road trip old school style. Amtrak will be taking us to and from the game ...

We got our NW road tickets today. Southwest corner next to the ramp where the visiting team comes out. I'll be taking as many pics as I can ...

The lady at the ticket office was very rude, tho. I guess with both Michigan and Michigan State coming to Evanston this fall, she got tired of talking to ticket buyers from Michigan.

So if I happened to have 2 season tickets available, does anyone know someone who needs tickets? I paid $1,215 and would sell them for that.

Normal ticket buyer is having financial issues. I'm looking into a way to split the tickets up between two people but that is tough due to having 3 premium games (aka everyone wants ND, no one wants EMU). If that falls through I might need to locate another buyer fast.

Section 40, Row 38.
