I've been told multiple times by various ND alum that you can get tickets to the game right before the game at face value. If it's a really nice day, then you may need to get them about an hour before kickoff, maybe slightly above face value. They all said that ND tix are the highest priced tix on places like stubhub and other resale sites, because no one wants to make the drive down from Chicago without tickets in-hand. You're not likely to get more than 2 together, but there you have it.

Ticket prices for most venues drop significantly right before the start. The question is do you want to spend the two hours before the game trying to secure a ticket to save $100. or would you rather spend the time tailgating and or enjoying the pre frame festivities.

No, I'm going to take my boys, tailgate with friends and then get tickets into the game right before. If we don't get in, then we'll watch the game on a wide screen and cheer hard. I'll be driving down from Chicago, so there's no expense except for gas and parking.

My wife, myself, and another couple will be flying in on that Thursday night. Where would you recommend staying? I have no clue. Thanks for any info.

There are a lot of unlisted B&Bs on the Southside. Just go there and start knocking on doors.

Crap, my first and second leads for tix disappeared, looks like I'll be watching this one from home unless I can figure out an alternative pretty quick. The problem in waiting for the price to come down is that the price of flights will only increase the longer I wait and the availability of accommodations dries up, too.

Does anyone know if there are places around South Bend to watch the game if we don't get a ticket? Right now I'm thinking of doing the weekend in Chicago and taking the train to SB where we could tailgate and see the campus. If tickets don't become available I of course still want to be able to watch the game.

I'm not sure if I'm going to the game yet, but incase I do I have a quick question. Do students get tickets on discount if they don't have season tickets? I know someone that's goes to tech but does not have tickets. So would he be able to get them cheap for me?

Agree. We are flying into O'Hare and are staying at the Westin that's not to far from there. Pricelined it for $74. The rates in SB were ridiculous.

A student from ND said that they are not available to them yet? Do they hold a certain amount for students that they sell later?
