Hey guys. Me and 5 buddies are planning on making the trip down to Lawrence this season for the nebraska vs Kansas football game. What is the best way to get tickets? Any help would be much appreciated!

Lol...well played joke!
Seriously, 44 view and no one can help me out? Come on, can people from KU not read or something?

There's very little motivation for helping a Husker fan buy tickets and attend a home game against our competition for the North.
In all seriousness, there won't be any single game tickets available from the KU ticket office as I understand it for the Nebraska or Oklahoma games. Tickets for those two games are only sold in a multi-game package. Therefore, your options are identical to mine (since I live too far away and can only go to one game) in that you'll have to use a ticket broker, eBay, Craigslist or scalp at the game.

KU isn't selling single game tickets to the KU/NU game this year. You'll either have to buy them in a package of 3(NU game plus 2 other games), or you'll have to wait until prior to the game and buy one online by a KU fan trying to sell his. You could also just show up on game day and try to get one off a scalper.

giskers95,
Just go to the game and you won't have a problem getting tickets. I have been to Larrytown every other year, up until the MU/KU game was moved to KC, for a long time and I never had a problem getting a ticket. If KU has run the table up until your game (that means a win v. OU and a road win at TT) then you might want to go through a broker but if not, your fellow Husker may be your biggest competition for a ticket if this game is for the North.

stub hub - walk ups will be waaaaaaay to risky for this game - spend the dough on the hub or likely be sitting in a bar crowded with KU fans - if I were an NU fan thats an easy choice

Hmmmm....
KU did not sell out Senior Day last year against Iowa St. or the game versus MU at Arrowhead. What exactly has changed? I guess you are getting more than the 19K you got for the Wyoming game in '01.

KU averaged 50,907 per game last season, capacity at memorial stadium is 50,250.
We played Iowa State in Ames last season.

I agree with the KU fans here and 96Rebel is way off. I have been to every KSU-KU game in Lawrence since 1994 and a to a couple prior to that. From 1996 to 2002, KU had the "leave 2 tickets under the windshield wiper before the game and discover 4 there after the game" problem. $5 or $10 got you in the gates and finding a spot in between the 30's was no problem. A lot of KSU fans, myself included, went to the 2004 game expecting to be able to pick up the usual ticket for $20 5 minutes before kickoff only to discover tickets to be going for close to face value. I've been purchasing mine through K-State since. Friends that have scalped the day of the game in Lawrence have paid face and in some cases, more than face for tickets, in 2006 and 2008.
I don't think the initial poster would have an issue picking up pretty good seats the day of the game for $75-100. But, walking up the day of the game expecting decent seats for less than $75 is risky, IMO. A lot depends on how hard you want to work for it the day of the game. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and be able to enjoy the day of the game vs spending an hour trying to track down tickets.

Whatever makes you feel good. I must have put the wrong team in for senior day for you guys last year. I know some people that walked up after kickoff and bought tickets at the window. Regardless, just like at MIZZOU, we (MU and KU) don't really sell out games or have near the demand that Nebraska has. You really can't find a ticket in Lincoln for a big game. That is simply not the case in Lawrance or Columbia. However, since it is the Nebraska game I think it is fair to say that this dudes biggest competition is going to be fellow Huskers. Looks like it is time for expansion at Memorial field though.

You couldn't be more full of sh!t. Our senior day was vs Texas. Attendance was 51,930, it was a sellout. It was a sellout before the game. My friend came up to watch the game and he had to buy tickets off a scalper.

No kidding. I think the Colorado or Ttech game was the last game of the season that even had tickets available at the booth before the game. Your friend....told a story from the past and made it last year for conveinience. You didn't 'get the team wrong'...you were lied to and you believed it because, just like my Dad, you think its permenantly 1993. Ask your friend what it feels to have pants that are constently on fire.

The "can't get a ticket in Lincoln" is a myth. I have scored tickets in Lincoln easily on more than one occasion. In 1999, I had to pay too much (over $100 for good seats). Regardless, the KSU-NU game in Lincoln was the game deciding the North for close to a decade and I never had too much of an issue getting a ticket.

Yeah BuyLo I was going to point that out but when it comes to access to husker tickets....I'm the last guy to ask about what the 'reality' is. I have too many NU alumn/season ticket holders in my family.
Hard to get tickets to the 'big games'?
Then why did I spend one of the few bye weekends for KU football watching the 07 NU/Texas game in Lincoln?
Posted on 7/14 5:31 PM | IP: Logged
So a lot has changed in the past two years. KU football tickets are harder to come by than Nebraska football tickets. The sky is now yellow and the sun is blue!
Getting back to the original post, Husker fans, not Jayhawks will make this a tough ticket only if KU has run the table and this game is for the North. If not, it simply will be a see of Red not Crimson. And speaking of that Texas game, did they kick everyone out of the stadium the second half?

Nobody has said that KU tickets are harder to come by than Nebraska tickets. My God you have terrible reading comprehension.
Regardless of our season, this game will not be a sea of red. The crowds have been vastly pro-KU the last few times NU has been to Lawrence, with the Red contingent becoming smaller and smaller with each game. Lew is also cutting off single game ticket sales for the NU game so that any visiting NU fans who want to order a ticket ahead of time will have to purchase a package of 3 games which includes the NU game. This will be Senior day.
As for the Texas game, yes some people left early. It happens. EVERYWHERE. We hung with them for 3 quarters, but they pulled away late and some fans exited the stadium. That's never happened in Columbia. If you want to discuss football on this forum, go ahead. If you want to talk sh!t like the hypocritical punk you seem to be you'll be better served going to another board.

I should be there this year. Will be coming up from KC with two KU fans.

What part of we averaged a sell out last year can't you understand? we sold out for Florida International (record crowd at the time). Why would we have any trouble filling up the stadium with KU fans against Nebraska?
Posted on 7/15 3:05 PM | IP: Logged
The last time NU was in Lawrence and we hung 72 on them the VAST majority of the crowd was made up of KU fans. Can you give any rational reason as to why that will change in 2009? Again, we averaged over 50,000 per game last year, so chances are against NU there will be plenty of KU fans. See you in Arrowhead for another beatdown. Imagine what Kerry Meier with two healthy legs to run on will do to your secondary.

I'm sorry, but I find this practice ridiculous. Even our pathetic basketball program has never done that to the good teams (including KU) that come to Lincoln. I know Nebraska even sets aside a limited amount of seats for the opponents fans in Memorial Stadium. And that's a place that this year will hit it's 300th consecutive sellout. Not slamming you guys as fans, but this is a really weak ploy, and not very sportsmanlike if you ask me, which you didn't.

There will be a section set aside for Nebraska fans as well. The school always sells a portion through Nebraska.
As for the practice itself, it's not ridiculous. Nebraska fans have been known to buy freakin' season tickets at other schools just to obtain a ticket to an away game. If the AD wants to benefit from the stupidity of those fans, while keeping opposing fan #s lower, then all the more power to them. It's a smart strategy.
Then you have the fact that you can't compare basketball to football. With basketball there are 30+ games. Fans aren't going to generally flood an opposing team's venue, due to the large # of away games. Also, the max attendance is too dissimilar, making ticket availability different. It's not really comparable. One game also doesn't ruin a season in basketball. You can afford a few losses here and there. In football an entire season can hinge on one game, this one which may be for the North. You want every advantage you can get, and assuring that 90% of the fans in the stadium are KU fans is a good advantage to get, and there's definitely nothing wrong with the AD trying to capitalize on this.
As for your "pathetic" basketball program never doing such a thing, I call BS. It's not uncommon for opposing venues to sell tickets at elevated prices to keep KU fans away, and/or to practically give the tickets away to their own fans in order to fill their venues for the upset. It seems every other weekend we're playing in a "blac-kout", "white-out", "purple-out", etc.

In one breath you talk about yoru 300+ sellout and you can't figure out why this happens to your tickets? You sound like my Dad (NU Fan) when he bitches about so many NU games being on pay-per-view.
Your fanbase causes the problem. My dad dosn't have NU/KU tickets yet (will try to get them through NU) but he DOES have 4 rooms reserved in Lawrence already. You are on here inquiring about tickets in July. That's admirable passion....but if you live in the NU world you have to come to some realization that you don't have a good view of the way things really are. You have to pay more and plan more to be a fan of your team.
As much as your fan base shoves 'tradition' down everyone's throat, don't think for a second we are going to loose any...ANY sleep over the few negative aspects you have to experience to be part of that tradition.
Be proud to pay your hundreds of dollars and go home unfullfilled (we hope).

How exactly am I being hypocritical? You can define a sellout how you want to but I will define it as not being able to walk up to the ticket window at kickoff and being able to get in the stadium. I have never once been able to go up to the window at an MU/KU game and not been able to get a ticket since the 80's. Why in the world would a team that breaks attendance records against Florida International have to sell NU tickets as a three game package? If every games sells out why would this have to be done? I agree that KU and Mangino have made huge strides since the days of getting 19K for football games (November 2001) but please don't try and make us all believe that Lawrance has all the sudden become a tough place to get a ticket for a football game, any football game.
As far a being a punk, you are the one talking big on the internet so how is Mr. Kettle doing?

1st off, you couldn't walk up and get a ticket to the Texas game. My friend definitely couldn't, he had to get his ticket through other means. You can have all the anecdotal stories you want, but we all know you're full of it.
2nd, the fact that you could walk up and get a ticket to a KU/MU game since the 80s means absolutely nothing. What do the 80s and 90s have to do with the now? What does 2001 have to do with today? Nothing. Things have changed.
3rd, It doesn't matter if we sell out against FIU. Do you know nothing about Nebraska fans? Nebraska fans will buy tickets months ahead of time. Nebraska fans will buy entire season ticket passes just so they can go to an away game. Nebraska fans take everything to a whole different level. No place is a tough place to get a ticket for an NU fan. All we can do is make it a little bit more difficult.

OK, how about last year at Arrowhead? KU did not sell all of their tickets to that game. Guess what? I bought 8 tickets through the KU athletic department. Yes, I know, KU won, nice win, we won the game for #1 the year before. However, such a loyal, selling out, record breaking fan base versus FL International should always sell all the tickets against Mizzou, right, even if the game was on the moon? For some reason you think this is only a KU issue. Hell, Mizzou only had one real sellout last year and anyone could get in if they wanted. My simple point all along is the NE fans will make this a hard ticket not KU's. Is that fact that hard to addmit? KU fans make the MU/KU game in hoops a hard ticket in COMO. Deal with reality not dreams buddy!

So you change the subject by bringing up neutral game site games played on Thanksgiving weekend at an NFL site to prove you know what you are talking about?
And I don't think anyone is arguing that NU fans don't drive the price and availability of tickets to the NU/KU game...we're arguing your oppinion that anyone can walk up and buy tickets to KU games. You are talking to a bunch of KU football ticket holders. We are people who have spent a lot of time looking for little signs (like lack of walk-up tickets) that the team was going in the right direction.
You tell us to deal with reality...but you have offered nothing more than secondary accounts that could not have been true or primary accounts that don't relate to the issue at hand.

K-State had literally over a thousand fans sitting on the hill last year. They probably assumed they were going to walk up on gameday and buy a ticket last year too. The game at Arrowhead means nothing, its a road game and they (the Chiefs/Arrowhead officials) didn't do a good job handling the crowd the previous season.

And once again, KU will not be a sea of red as you imply for the nebraska game. Yes, that was the case several years back, but it wasn't two years ago and it won't be this time. Deal with it!
Posted on 7/22 1:51 PM | IP: Logged
OK, maybe we need to go back to home and home and not Arrowhead so I can see this miraculous transformation for myself. Maybe I will get shutout and I will be forced to watch the game at Jetlag.
Are there plans to enlarge Memorial Stadium with the current demmand for tickets?
Posted on 7/22 4:33 PM | IP: Logged
Yeah. Here is the link to the article about the facility they are building for the KU Track team and the Kansas Relays. This will provide them the opportunity to remove the track from the stadium....and what do you think they will do with that room? I think they will let it sit there rather than sell more seats....thats what I think.
Now go away before you embarass yourself an 8th time.
Man you people are have sensitive feelings. FWIW, we have our own ways to keep the red out of COMO. Not the same way as KU but we still do it, I can admit it. We also do it for the MU/KU game in hoops.

Not really a question of sensitivity. We just are eager to address ignorant posts by ignorant people.

Ignorant? Really? I would say more antagonistic but as a Mizzou fan I would expect a lot worse. Maybe I will have to come up for the Duke game and see it for myself. If that game is a sellout and the house is packed at 11AM I will shut up for good.
Posted on 7/23 2:00 PM | IP: Logged
Honestly, the Duke game could sell out. I predict attendance to be somewhere between 45,000 and a sellout.
Posted on 7/23 2:04 PM | IP: Logged
Again...funny you should bring up the Duke game. When I bought my season tickets last week, I was having trouble finding tickets in a decent section for any of the non-confrence games (AA opener aside). So you might just be looking at quite a sellout for any of those games.
And everyone knows how you keep people out of COMO. Its called being a HUGE A$$HOLE and your state has been practicing that tactic since you were a territory. Put that on your resume and act proud.
Posted on 7/23 2:40 PM | IP: Logged
OK, like I said, that would shut me up. It will be interesting to see how Mizzou does at the gate this year with so many new players and no expectations, likewise for KU next year.

Wow! Are we going to start some Civil War talk now. If that is the case the Kansas-Nebraska Act will fit perfectly into this thread. Both states were hell bent turning over the Missouri Compromise. FWIW, both Kansas and Nebraska are now sitting in the area once known as the MISSOURI TERRITORY. I will smoke to that.
Posted on 7/23 2:47 PM | IP: Logged
No that wasn't civil war talk. Its a 'behaving civil' talk. Both NU fans and KU fans are all too familiar with the behavior of your fan base. And when you put that up against the historical behavior of people from your state, there is a certian level of consistency.
You are well known for being A$$holes. And you don't need to be on the other side of a civil war to learn that. You just need to be paying attention.
