I'm sure you won't have much trouble scalping some if need be. Otherwise, I would recommend stubhub, as they have a ton of tix available at pretty decent prices.--http://www.stubhub.com/wisconsin-foo...-2012-4020784/

You can almost certainly get a great deal if you're willing to be patient. Stubhub will let you print tickets to certain events up to 2 hours before Gametime (not sure if Wisconsin tickets do this) and you can get crazy good deals late.

TONS of extra tickets floating around for this game as well. Waiting until game day isn't the worst bet for this game (or for the Iowa game, as well).

It is the worst bet for the Iowa game. Tickets for the Iowa game last time were well above face 5 mins before kickoff. The demand is there. Luckily I listened to my wife's nervousness and bought a few weeks beforehand.

That could be right. Enthusiasm might be one the wane by the time the Panthers roll into town, however, which is what I was thinking.

I never have the balls to roll the dice.

I have literally never gone to an Iowa game with tickets. I always get mine scalped and I never pay more then 50 dollars/game. The best deal I ever got was in 2006 when they played tOSU and gameday was there and everything. I got two tickets on the 25 yard line 40 rows up for 45 dollars each.

It is getting a little tougher, and I generally have to wait until right before kickoff, but you can always find tickets for the cheap at Iowa.

Just a head's up - I got our Wisconsin tickets through stubhub, and they're the actual, physical tickets (not printed ones.) Not sure if you'd be able to get them less than a couple days in advance.

Re: Tickets for Wisconsin game

I once tried to deal with a scalper.
but instead of selling me tickets, they tried to cut the skin/hair/flesh off of my head.

not very fun.

I'd agree with this 90% of the time. I was at the Tennesse Tech game last year, and even a few hours before kickoff, scalpers were coming through our tailgate selling tickets for $10.

If the hawks are ranked and playing a ranked opponent, such as that OSU game you mentioned, scalping can be a nightmare. I have a buddy who bought a $300 fake ticket just before kickoff on that day.

Agreed. 5 mins before the last UNI-Iowa game, tickets outside we the price I paid for two tickets. I would chck eBay/stub hub/craigslist the week before, but don't wait until game day.

Re: Tickets for Wisconsin game

i did scalping at Kinnick once and one guy wanted a bunch of money so I went to the next guy and he had a better price two minutes later the first guy walks past and says "that's a good price" as he waddles to go use the bathroom

Wow.

All I'll say is no it isn't. If you're patient and are pleasant and talk to people who aren't scalpers you can get great deals at Iowa. It's definitely tougher to get a good deal when the hawks are good and good teams are coming, but it's not impossible. Scalpers have good deals when the visiting team is crappy, but you still have to be patient.

Also, nothing else I said in that post was a lie. I've never gone to an Iowa game with a ticket, and I have never paid more then 50 dollars to get in. If you want a rundown of all the games I've been there and what I paid, I could probably do that.

Sometimes the seats aren't that good. I've sat in the student section a few times too, and I've been late to a game or two, but those the breaks.

I wasn't at the last UNI/Iowa game, and I imagine having an in-state team come to town makes things tougher, but I will be at this years game, and I'll probably stick to my strategy. Just trying to share my experience of buying tickets at Iowa.
