It's early, but tickets are on sale for priority holders and it's in our backyard.  Optimism is high for this Gopher team to make its 3rd consecutive trip and finish what it started.

We will be there live in section C26 Row 3.  Hope to see you there!

I will show up and hang out pre-game, during game, post-game, dunno, there's a lot of in-and-outs and what-have-yous, doubt I'll drop the dough for tix (not a priority holder or anything). 

When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.

Those watching on TV won’t have Melrose. Just announced he’s retiring from TV work and he’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Didn’t love him on college hockey but that sucks and not how I wanted him to go.

It was pretty obvious that he had Parkinson's two FF ago when the kept showing full body shots of him and Bucci and his hands and arms were shaking. It was uncomfortable to watch. This year they were a bit smarter with their video shots.

Just got my tix.  Still plenty of space on the Club level, as well as around the arena generally.

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

What are "priority holders"?

Every time you buy FF tickets through the official channel you get one more priority point and they have groups they open up tickets to first based on that.

Do gopher season ticket holders get an advanced option to buy at some point?

No.  Unless they make the Frozen Four and then the school will have their allotment of tickets to sell.  If that happens, they'll sell them in Gopher Score order of priority.

My priority was today. Tix purchased. The club level is starting to sell out, especially on the sides. There was plenty of tix on the ends though. 

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

We got into club level as well. The sides will probably be filling in soon. I'm not sure when other priority groups get access.

Four Club rail seats on the side acquired thanks to some helpful pre-scouting from @Frozen4Champs

 

Could not have asked for a better result given my priority. Wow.

How much are tickets going for? We are planning on going to our first FF this year and have no idea how much we need to be budgeting for it haha. Looks like Nov 1 is when we can buy.

1258 for four club seats

18 bucks of that in fees

 

Upper level is 220 a pop so probably like 225 a pop with fees.

Looking at the prices in the presale email, is that per session or total for both? It's not super clear. For instance, club level is listed at $310. Is that the total for 1 ticket for both sessions?

It's both sessions.

Just got 8 seats in 125 through the gopher ticket presale. If we don’t make it, we can gouge nodak or wisco fans 😉 

 

in case anyone was wondering we didn’t get 8 to hog or scalp- we need 6-7 for family and 1-2 more for out of town friends coming in 

 

club sections only had single seats available

Got my link at about 12:55.  The code included is not a valid code.  Either that or 2 pm eastern is not 1 pm central.  

 

Who is worse, the NCAA or Ticketmaster?

Got mine! Code worked. I did Ncaaff and it worked. Not sure if just coincidence or they finally turned it on. Section 124 for us.

Glad to see there's a lot of demand in case I need to offload 2 or all 4 tickets in March. Assuming at least one or two big teams makes it.

Makes me sad about the lack of tailgating. Those were some of the best times. The very unofficial "GPL Tailgate" was HUGE. This is just a fraction of the crowd, and post-game we literally took over Tom Reid's. Yes, we all knew each other, for the most part.

Have done that. A UNHer grabbed a prime table mid-game. Bouncer was all "is it just you, because this is a busy spot, you can't hog that for yourself!" (total douche). 30 minutes later, we went to the bouncer, and said "see this crowd around this spot? We all know each other." It was about 60-70 people. Grin

That pic must just be the crew that isn't inside at the F5 games?  There's so few people in it.

Or was that one of the F4 tailgates... and most of the crew was inside the X?

 

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

This was the 2011 F4, and it was early enough that not everyone had showed up yet. Smile

I have to work that day, but I made it VERY clear I am out an hour before puck drop so I can get home, and settle in for the game.

I have to work on the Thursday before, for the 4/11 game, so I'm hoping the Gophers play the late game. I'm not a big fan of the early start weekday games.

I much prefer an earlier start if I can attend in person.  As such as someone that is watching from afar an early weekday start is also preferred while a later start on weekends works out better for me.
