Who is going to Carbondale?

[Newt99]

Time to see who is making the trip to SIU this weekend. A friend and I will be there, probably arriving early afternoon Saturday. We will be joined by my cousin (a UNI grad) and his wife, who recently moved to Carbondale.

This is my first visit to Saluki Land, so I need to know where to go to find the Panther tailgating delegation. Where are the best hangouts in town to celebrate our victory at afterwards?

I'll be riding the fan bus down. But I've never been to Carbondale before either, so I don't know anything about the other details.

My 3 roommates and I are going to be there. Does anybody know how to get tickets in the UNI section. I called the SIU ticket office and they said to call ticketmaster. All I get there is a computer taking my order and there isn't an option for the visiting team.

I know Griff is headed down. He sent me a text asking me to go, however, work got in the way. He shouldn't be too hard to find

Have you called the UNI ticket office to see if they have an allotment available? I can't tell you for sure, my tickets are through the team pass list this time so I didn't have to worry about it. Usually we have a small allotment to sell for road games through our ticket office, but the unsold tickets often have to be returned to the home team a couple days before the game.

If that doesn't work, call SIU's ticket office again and try to get to someone higher up the ladder. I find it hard to believe they can't help you get in the UNI section somehow. Did you check Ticketmaster's website to see if you can do it there? Or if you call Ticketmaster on the phone, try dialing "0" to get an operator or choosing an invalid option until you get a real live person on the phone.

Good luck, hope one of those works for you!

)Already posted this in the bus trip sticky in response to similar ticket question)

Just got off the phone with the SIU ticket office. They said they have 300-400 tickets left in the visitors section (section B) and will be selling them tomorrow at gate 1 (SW corner of stadium) from 9:00am-kickoff.

This is probably your best option if you don't want to spend an extra $5 per ticket on a ticketmaster charge, as the SIU ticket office doesn't take phone orders.
