FCS Championship Tickets January 2019

[POD Knows]

Holy crap, tried to get tickets and I was in the site right when it opened and it was forcing me to buy singles, couldn't buy anything in groups of 2 or bigger. I only needed 2 but couldn't get them as a group and started buying singles and was only able to get one, the site is a joke. Oh well, might need to find another ticket someplace.

I bought 2. I don't know how I managed to pull it off though.

What time did you try to get in? The pre-sale opened at 10AM CT. They sold pretty much the entire endzone and a good chunk of midfield seats for the hospitality packages (which were $200 each). Their site was completely swamped at 10AM but after trying with a few different browsers I was able to get in and get it to be somewhat responsive with Edge but I kept getting "Another fan beat you to these seats" messages since their site doesn't update very quickly at all to show what seats are taken but up until about 10:30AM or so there were groups of 4+ all over the place in the endzone.

I actually don't even care where the tickets were at as I generally stand up on the top on the visitors side, pretty good view and I need to be able to prowl around.

Yeah, IE is a mess when you need good performance from your browser. I tried Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and maybe it was just coincidental but somewhat surprisingly Edge was the winner for me today since the other two completely locked up as soon as I tried to click on a section to bring up the seat map but Edge let me through after lagging for a few seconds.

Bill Gates can suck my balls.

Has the FCS game outgrown Frisco? Is it time to move the game to a larger facility?

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWhen I first went in there the blue dots were everywhere but all of those seats were sold, I do not understand how that couldn't be updated live as the tickets were being purchased. The site was terrible. When I first went in and saw all of those blue dots, I thought, well this will be a piece of cake.

Well considering they probably could've sold another several thousand tickets just this morning if they could've I'd say the $$$ would dictate that they could definitely use a larger venue. I would guess the NCAA doesn't really care how it looks on TV if they can pocket more money out of the deal.

FWIW the face value of all tickets has more than doubled in the last 5 years.

The mid-field 3 year packs I had were $109. A bargain!

I managed to get four row 1 seats in section 117. Got in right away when the site opened. I had been on the page for about 10 minutes before it opened though.

They moved a bunch of seats to the high dollar NCAA Experience seats.

The website sucked. Terrible functionality.

Easily one of the worst facilities, even by MLS standards. You're partial to it because your team is six for six in it.

Have you seen Chicago, Columbus, Colorado, Minnesota (I know they are moving), Montreal, New England (I know they are moving), NYFC (I know they are moving)?

If there are 23 teams, then there are 7 other stadiums that are worse than Toyota Stadium for soccer/FCS Championship, so you need to try again with your assessment. Would I put them in the top half, no, but it is a solid venue. Sure, it would be nice if it was bigger and/or in Fargo, but I am happy with what they give us.

A difference of opinions and Toyota Stadium wasn't anything special in terms of amenities but I'll sacrifice new-ness of a stadium for seats. Give me a dump that seats 30k over a smaller stadium that is only marginally better.

I got continual "another fan beat you..." alerts. I finally got two, or so I thought, and I went through the log into your account, credit card info, etc., but the button to actually finalize the purchase stayed grayed out and I wasn't able to select. I double checked all the stupid fields in that form looking for one that I might have missed, but I couldn't find anything missing. It eventually timed out before I could purchase. I tried for a little while longer, got nothing but "another fan beat you..." and gave up.

You still havent said whats wrong with it? Only thing I dont like about it are the scoreboards and play clock. Bathrooms are very accessible. Great sightlines from almost everywhere.

But I love the area because the people are great and so are the restaurants.

I was having the same problem then I noticed this little box that needed to be checked that you accept terms a service .

I was doing it on my phone, and I don't know if the mobile website was flakey or what, but it would frequently lock up and not respond to my finger; I thought that was what it could be, but I apparently couldn't scroll down to the bottom because I was looking for it.

I'll be moved out of state by then, so it won't be as convenient as it used to be just driving a few miles down the road.

I had my father in law get 8 (2 sets of 4) and my buddy got 8 more (group of 3 and 5).

I may have some available if some people don't go but that won't be decided for about 4 months.

My opinion...

You should play the FCS National Championship game in a football stadium. More specifically, the biggest difference I don't care for is the increased distance from the field to the stands and the lower angle of incline in the stands themselves. After 2 trips to Frisco, that is my biggest gripe with them hosting at Toyota Stadium. Everything else is well done, but you can't fix the structure of the stadium itself since it's built for soccer.

PS: the scoreboard / video boards stink too, but that is what it is. I just want the above.

I understand the distaste for football in a baseball stadium and I know the matchup is not intriguing, but I would think it would be fun to be there and see how large of a turnout NDSU can get. I view it as a chance to enjoy a bunch of other alumni, and think it is nice that you may get some fans to turn out who don't get to make it to games in Fargo. It seems like a great chance to show the press in the Twin Cities the size of our fan base and get some more coverage for NDSU.

There is nothing wrong with Toyota Stadium. Great viewing from anywhere in the stadium. Although, IMO, a bigger stadium would be nice to get a few more fans that want to attend.

SHSU is soft and NDSU will beat that team every time we play because they cannot match the physical play.
