Couple questions as I plan my son and my (2nd) annual trip in for a game:

1) How much do prices normally drop the week of the game? We need 5 together, and I'm seeing nothing for less than $550/ticket (another $100 with fees) in the lower bowl. Is that what the whiteout games normally cost?
2) Is it safe to use Stubhub or SeatGeek? Last year I recall others saying TicketMaster was required, is that not the case?

Call the ticket office. Tickets magically appear the week of any event. Tickets are held for VIPs, and if they are NOT sold, tickets are released to the public.

VIPs? Don’t you have to smell like them to get those tickets?

Stubhub is completely safe. I buy and sell tickets on there all the time. The tickets most likely will complete through a transfer via Ticketmaster. You will get that information once you buy the tickets.

East and west upper isn't bad in my opinion. I don't like to be in the sun, but for a night game east isn't bad. Just looked now and the lowest for 5 in was EJU, row 44 for 325 each. the ones for 550 each are ED row 37. That is 225 more each for 7 rows?
I would also seriously consider 3 and 2 together which would also bring the price down a lot. You could also consider 6 then sell the odd one. right now you could get 6 WF for 450 each and probably sell the single for 300.

Aside from handling the H.C. seating, I don't believe we've had a NLC ticket office in yrs., the whores at Ticketmaster handle the rest.
