    That's what I'm banking on. You would think that, between ambitious Gopher fans and overly optimistic North Dakota fans, the market would be flooded. Plenty on StubHub but the fees are ridiculous. Craigslist isn't much better. Most are still asking for face.

      I saw people asking $95/ticket on one of those secondary market sites. They don't seem to realize that there are plenty of open seats still listed on Ticketmaster, blocs of them, even.

        Yeah, that's why we're planning on hitting up the street scalpers. We're aiming for < $40, but know that we can still get them for $55 at the gate if nobody breaks. I am only staying for the SCSU game, and $40 seems somewhat reasonable to me. $55 may seem reasonable to Gopher fans, who is obviously who the NCAA had in mind when they set the initial price. I'd pay $35 on craigslist, but I haven't seen that price point yet. With their ridiculous fees, I'd only pay $25 on StubHub.

        EDIT: Just noticed that they're going for less than $25 on StubHub. Fees are about $10. May go that route now. I'll have to ask my colleagues. This forces the street scalpers down to about $30 now.

          I don't know how many scalpers there will be. Probably not many. There were only 3 or 4 on Saturday at Target Center. One of them told me I would be better off buying from the box office. First time that has ever happened.

            It's not a hot ticket, but there's still some money to be made so long as SCSU's still alive. We have some fans in town, and the school's close enough that students may be looking to score some last minute deals.

              Ferris won their conference tournament. Which, unlike the regular season conference championship, actually matters.

                Pretty sure SCSU won their conference tournament as well. Not sure though. Maybe if this interweb thing could tell me. Oh there it is. Yep. They did. Didn't need to in order to get in like some others, but they did it anyways.

                If Ferris plays the same way against SCSU that they did Mankato, they'll be spending half the game on the PK. Not a good gameplan against the #2 PP in the nation.

                  Then you're making even less sense, since St. Cloud won the NCHC tournament.

                    Just an FYI, you're smack talking FSU to an SLU(t) fan.

                      The doctor said they couldn't find a helmet big enough. I have a huge head. Like, freak-show big.

                          For some reason I had it in my head that st, Clooud lost their conference championship. I go to box for 2 minutes and feel shame.

                            Gophersports has indicated that if you have a valid college student ID from any of the participating schools or another "local" school, you can purchase up to 2 tickets per ID for $24 each, 1 hour prior to face off at the box office.

                                Weather update: maybe some showers on Sat, nothing big, Sunday is nicer. Both days in the 40s.

                                Apparently, some parts of St Paul got hit hard with snow today, but it should be mostly (if not all) gone by the weekend.
                                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
