I have a set of 2 tickets ($251.82) in Sec: 106/Row: AA/Seats: 8 & 9. 

I was planning on going and had a change of plans. I had someone lined up to buy them and they supposedly can't now. The 2 tickets are with 4 other Gopher (STH) fans. One of the ticket holders sits behind me at the Boy's State Hockey Tourney.

I paid $251.82, but I'm willing to wheel deal for anyone who is interested. 

Keep your stick on the ice...

I’d offer to help but out of the 12 I bought for my group only two of us are going now.  Starting to wonder if there will be any Gopher fans there. 😳

I know of others trying to sell their tickets as well... I have a feeling that the crowd is going to be very light.

Sad and makes our fan base look bad if that’s the case as the host school.

If they hadn't bought tickets in the first place, I'd find that easier to believe.  But, you KNOW ahead of time that it's going to take travel/etc, if you're not sure you can make it, why buy the tickets?

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

BINGO

 

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

Apparently there was a lot of concern for being able to get tickets so folks had those of us with priority order right away.  Then life happened and other events popped up and this trip wasn’t a priority anymore.  🤷‍♀️

My first trip to Vegas.  I will still have a great time! Although the other person left in my group wants to go to the concert at the sphere Saturday night (eagles) so I might end up all by myself in my section. 😂

Hopefully you aren't getting stuck with the tickets. 12 tickets has got to be a pretty penny. Although maybe @cowgirl is infinitely rich. 😀

@cowgirl 

Exactly. When tickets were coming available from what I read here on GPL and other social media sites tickets were at demand. I had full attentions of going. Made a call had a place to stay. Hotel and game tickets I was still under $400 for the weekend. It is what it is. And if I have to swallow the tickets, at least the 'U' gets the money.

I've seen the same... thought I would give it a chance, since my first buyer fell through.

I had the full trip (game tickets, hotel, flights and etc) for both my wife and I under $1,000. And if you read both @cowgirl and my replies you'll see. The $$$ is not the issue. It's other priorities that arose from when ticket came available to now.

I completely understand that some people that got tickets won't be able to make it.  But, when 10 out of 12 in one group alone all back out, that's when I start wondering why people were getting tickets if they weren't sure they were going to make it.  This isn't like a Frozen 4 that you buy tickets hoping your team makes it, and if they don't you can probably offload somewhere else, even on short notice.  For this, anyone that wanted tickets already has them, and trying to get them sold at this late date is a tough hill to climb.

Haha no.  Thankfully everyone who wanted tickets paid for them, and I sent them the tickets to sell on their own after I asked everyone I possibly could if they wanted the extra tickets. 
One couple decided it was too much after a trip to Alaska this summer.  
Another wanted to go to the Gopher football game at the rose bowl stadium which ended up the same weekend. 
Another couple got pregnant and it’s not safe to travel…and if they don’t go, their Air Force relatives won’t either. 
Another person decided to buy their own seats somewhere else once they realized they weren’t selling out and they didn’t want to sit where we are.  

That’s life.  We know enough others going that we’ll still have people to hang out with, thankfully they are all older and wiser than us so there will be less chance of shenanigans…

Hokey smokes I'm exhausted just reading that.  Way too much monitoring, hand holding, and consternation for me.
