Camping World Bowl seating location

[spierceisu]

I am not able to make it to the game, but I am wondering why ticket sellers have such a hard time assigning seating? It seems to me like you should be able to go through the ticket office and select a seat at a set price (like any other event). I understand "restricting" it to an area so you are on a particular area of fans, but this game of not knowing where your seats are and that they are "randomly" assigned baffles me.

Well ISU allocates tickets bought from then by donation level.

So if I buy tickets at A level but then donors with a higher priority buy all the tickets at that level I then get bumped down to B level. So they can't assign seats until the deadline for buying the tickets has passed.

We ordered tickets last week. They shipped tickets last night. Not bad considering how they have to follow donor order and make adjustments to charges based on whether you got what you asked for. I don't like having to rely on the "wizard behind the curtain," but it is hardly random.

My wife, kids and I have some stuff we don't yet know if we can maneuver yet or not. This might be a very well spontaneously decision to get in the car and drive down very last minute, watch the game, hang out a few days with some friends, then drive back.

So buying tickets is impossible because I do not know if it is even possible. But in the event......what is the likely hood that I can just walk up to a ticket office or scalper and buy tickets to the game. Will the premium be in the seller's or my favor?

There will be tickets available. More than likely you'll be able to get a pretty good deal depending on how picky you are about seat location.

Someone please post if their mobile ticket assignment becomes available. I do not understand how donors can be receiving printed tickets, while donors that elected mobile delivery are still in the dark.

If you have a smart phone you can put stubhub, ticketmaster or any other ticket broker app on your phone. Then keep an eye on prices for the event. You can buy mobile tickets right to your phone at anytime, even up to kickoff many times. Usually Stubhub will have a near site location for pickup. I have done this route before and got good deals.

And of coarse there is old school scalping outside stadiums yet.

Sooo I called the ticket office about my mobile pass tickets and they said not available until tomorrow.........

Got our tickets last night and we are in section 139 - location wise is about one section off of what we have at Jack Trice so could be better.

 

[isufbcurt]

Just got my mobile seat assignments and they are where I hoped

[CyTwins]

P36 for me!

Yes, tickets will be available with advantage buyer. Scalpers get screwed in bowl games because there are very few people who head to the game on an airplane or 20 hour drive without tickets like they would a home game. And there's also almost zero local interest/walk up crowd.

I got my tickets via email today. I got the worst seats i could imagine. since i went to buy them within a few minutes of when they went on sale I am ticked off! I plan to never buy throught ISU again, i though it would be nice to help the school in selling their allotment but when I get screwed I am not happy. i could have bought them through Ticketmaster and got better seats and known my seat assignment immediately. what a joke. Not Happy!

That's what others told me in Memphis and San Antonio. Don't buy tickets thru ISU. You'll regret it.

 

[cygrads]

Did ISU ever request additional tickets over and above the initial 8000?

 

[CyDude16]

We got ours thru stub hub cheaper than isu’s and are row A in section 123.

I did the same thing and was put in the second level of the end zone after selecting the $141 option. I asked for an explanation and got the canned blurb. Asked to be refunded and they told me they wouldn't do that. I called my credit card company and they're refuting the charge and told me if ISU didn't refund they were going to credit me the amount. I then bought tickets on the 30 yard line 20 rows up for $138/ticket on stubhub, but had to settle for the Notre Dame side.

There will probably be a ton of cyclones on that side too. I can't sit near opposing fans, bad things always happen.
