zippyfan34 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Since it looks like the general public will not be able to get any of the 300 tickets that the university gets for $35 for all 4 games, the cheapest price on stubhub right now is $146 for all 3 games. For me and my wife with service charge and shipping that would be around $335. I wish we hadn't already gotten Christmas gifts for each other. I don't think I can drop that much on the tickets. Anyone thinking about getting tickets from Stubhub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMACer Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 That's not a horrible price. I suspect that with UNC still alive, that will help raise prices too (since they'll be the big, local draw). It's nice that the games will be televised for those of us that can't make the trip.

ndzeigler Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I am a student and can't go to the game friday because of finals. Does anybody know if it is possible to just get tickets for sunday anywhere? or do I have to get the two day package? Also, does anyone think that more tickets will become available on saturday after UNC gets eliminated? I read that this stadium has 7,000 seats with the ability to add additional grandstands to make it 10,000. I just don't understand if each school only has an allotment of 300 how it's sold out!?!? --thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 If anyone is thinking about going but can't get tickets, try calling the priority wait list at NC State 919-865-1510. I just called this morning and am #28 on the list which I don't think is bad. I don't know exactly how they would get tickets back (maybe they allocate a few hundred to high up NCAA administrators who won't end up going) but I'm hoping they do. They said I wouldn't find out for a couple of days when they would get tickets back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
