Called Ticketmaster and equally as unhelpful.  "These tickets aren't available yet, just keep checking back"

This is dumb. 

 

Promo code appears to be "goldengophers".  But all that does is turn all the sections blue saying there "ARE" tickets available, but you cant' actually select or buy tickets.

 

 

I just zoomed in and was able to select 2 seats

Got my seat.  Row 1 Behind the net that the Home team (should be Gophers for both of their games) shoots at twice.

Make sure to enter your address and hit Save on that section, before going down to put the CC info in.

It wouldn't accept ours either.  It's a hotel and casino so it thought it may be fraud.  Look for an e-mail or text from you CC company asking if legit charge or call them to get them to approve.

This is so utterly f***ked up.  THis isn't taylor swift.  This is a niche section of a niche sport.  It shouldn't be this damn difficult.  

 

My credit cards were all declined.  Only one texted me.  Wasn't the one I preferred to use but made it through...

Hmm, maybe that's why I had no problems.  Amex is very accustomed to me using that card in Vegas 😀

We STILL can’t get it to accept our cards.  Even called Amex and they said no issue on their end. ??

I initially tried Amex but only got an email at my work account that said I had to call them (screw that, also, see Cowgirl's post above). 

Capital One sent me a text, I said it was legit, and it went through without any further fuss.

Was able to get tickets 110, row 3, 1-4. I can't wait for a kid free vacation. Used a capital one card got the fraud text then it went through.

The arena seats nearly 7,500 if I recall. So after each school gets their allotted number for whomever (parents, staff and admins). Still probably leaves around 6,500 tickets.

That was the definition of a SHIT SHOW. 

It only took two hours and trying half a dozen cards.

For others that are also going, any pregame or pep rally plans? I haven’t seen any info from the U yet.

Given the ticket situation I've seen discussed, I doubt there's anything official for pre-game.

@gopherfaninforks gopher fb in the rose bowl is certainly a factor in limiting Vegas attendance

I think I am somewhere along the glass but will move to better if attendance is low and seats are readily available.  I need to see a road/neutral site win again.   I had seen like 20 neutral site wins in a row up until th3 2014 Natl Champ game.  Then went to Boston so 0 for my last 2.

Idk but if we could get the anchorage games (funny commercials and all) back in the day then hopefully we can get these through some student production or what have you.

After some pre-game chat on the Podcast, I checked TicketBa$tard for the Icebreaker... that place is going to be a morgue.  I found one section that has 8 tickets sold for Saturday.

FYI--- The Gophers v Air Force will be on streamed on BTN+ @ 930pm next Friday. The guide doesn't show Saturday yet, but I assume it will be on there as well.

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

If they're not streaming the non-Gopher games, I'd guess you won't see the Saturday game show on the schedule until after the game Friday night.  The Icebreaker always has the championship as the late game on Saturday, so, right now, no way to know for sure what time the Gophers play.

I mean I’ll need at least one to sit in a building full of ice and no people to warm it up. 😂

It was 87 at 9 pm here last night.  I dread venturing out with the sun up today….Thank goodness for our plans including a building full of ice! 🥶

This remind me of the time I was on a baseball road trip through California and Arizona with my father. During the trip I noticed that we weren't that far from Las Vegas so I talked him into taking a quick side trip so I could see the Las Vegas Strip. At the time I had never been there before. When we got there we only had a hour or so before we needed to leave for the Grand Canyon because dad wanted to see it at sun down so I spend an hour literally running up and down the Las Vegas Strip seeing as much as I could.

The kicker to this story is it was in August and it was REALLY hot. After doing this I was like this probably wasn't the brightest idea but YOLO. I've since been back a few times to enjoy Vegas more.

No reason to go outside in Vegas.  Cabs, trams, etc.  Casinos are nicely air conditioned. And the night is the time to be awake in Vegas anyway.  If you do go outside, find the pool and some cold beverages.

 

There's no whining in Vegas, especially when you're there to watch Gopher hockey.  It kills me that I am not there.
