Northwestern Football Tickets?
 
I'm looking to go to the Northwestern Penn State game on 9/24. I noticed there are only seats available on ticketmaster for the game located around the end zone area.
I'm going solo and wondering if it pays to try and pick up a ticket on game day, from the box office or if someone might have a better extra ticket outside.
Thanks for your input!

You should not have any problems getting a better ticket from the scalpers outside the stadium. Don't jump at the first opportunity. Walk around, price different locations. Make sure to bring a stadium map with you.
Wait till about 1/2 hour before the game to actually start working the scalpers. At some point they just want a return on their investemnet. Once the game starts, the ticket's value starts to go down VERY quickly.

Good luck and have fun!

I frequently buy tickets from stubhub.com for baseball games - these come direct from the seller, with stubhub acting as the broker.

Looks like they have plenty of tickets avail. I would tend believe there will be plenty of tix avail to buy around the stadium on game day, esp. if you want just one. I've been able to get 1 good ticket for even higher profile games on another midwestern college campus. Price always drops shortly after kickoff.

Thanks for your input everyone. I think I might also have a better chance getting tickets since its an 11 AM start.
Thanks again!!

I also can't imagine tickets will be hard to come by outside the stadium, but end zone seats aren't terrible either. It's not a massive stadium so even the "bad" seats aren't too miserable. Enjoy the game, and go 'Cats! ;-)
