Hey how’s it going yall. My first time visiting these forums and I was wondering if anyone can a fellow wolverine fan out. I’m thinking about traveling to Chicago from St.Louis to root for the team in the BIG Ten Tourney. I checked the BIG Ten website and it says that there selling tickets at each BIG Teams ticket office but I couldn’t find anything online. Does anyone know the cheapest or best place to buy decent seats for this. I think I’m going to ride in on Thursday and stay until Sunday night whether Michigan makes the finals or not.
Scalp them.
We will be down there too. My girlfriend’s family lives in Indianapolis and her dad got tickets for the championship game (Michigan vs Michigan St.) for $10. Once teams lose, their fans no longer want their tickets. We are going down there without tickets and buying them by the day.
Yep if it’s anything like it is in Indy there will be an ocean of scalpers competing for your business.
Alright sweet, appreciate it guys.
