10,500 Tickets Sold for Montana/Weber on Monday

[Green26]

"After one day of sales, more than 10,500 tickets have been sold for Saturday's Football Championship Subdivision quarterfinal matchup between the Montana Grizzlies and the Weber State Wildcats.

“This was a tremendous response for one day of ticket sales,” said UM athletic director Jim O'Day in a press release.

[AZGrizFan]

Yeah....my dad got his, and said the line was pretty damned long! And he's an impatient bastard.... xlolx xlolx

[Grizo406]

There will be a lot more than 10,500 at this one! Its a biggie, and most of Griz Nation knows it!!

[Grizzaholic]

The woman stood in line this morning for almost 40 minutes to pick up our tix. should be a good one.

nice work........make the woman get the tix!!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[DuckDuckGriz]

That's great to hear. It's obvious that not only is this a QF game but Weber has everyone's full attention now.....Be careful what you wish for xnodx

[Grizalltheway]

The place will be rocking, that's for sure. Can't wait. :D

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Did you go to the last game Gatw?

How did you get her to do it?!? I need to learn your training lessons for the future! Teach me Mr. Myiagi!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Hell if I had the extra cash, I'd drive over to watch this game!


Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttt I'll settle for Bigskytv.org :D

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I've tried getting through on the phone about 8 different times today to CC the tiks and can't get through. How long do I have until tiks are released cuz I ain't gonna go down and stand in line to just pay for em'.

[montanafan]

The place will be rocking, that's for sure. Can't wait. :D

I think this game the noise level will be up atleast one notch. This is more than a game, this is vengeance. This will not be the normal rowdy griz nation. This will be a very hostle griz nation that trully wants to show the country that what happened earlier in the year was a fluke and we are the true and only big sky champions. I see this game as a statement game and the score could get ugly.

You have until tonight for reserved seats, then they go to the general public. I got mine yesturday.

He married right. She's real easy on the eyes, isn't a castorating female, and can hang out with the guys and do the hang thing without making everybody uncomfortable and miserable. Here's to hooping she can teach other women the art of her ways.

[Cleets]

The woman stood in line this morning for almost 40 minutes to pick up our tix. should be a good one.

She is:
1) Gorgeous
2) Funny
3) Sweet
3.a) and likes to hang out with the gang

But just when I didn't think it could get any better

(she went and got Griz tickets)

xbowx You are the master xbowx

[Grizzaholic]

xbowx xbowx xbowx

How did you get her to do it?!? I need to learn your training lessons for the future! Teach me Mr. Myiagi!

First thing you have to do is introduce your lady to Cleets, this is paramount.


The rest is just butter.




Oh and she offered to go because she can't wait for Saturday to get here.

[Grizalltheway]

Did you go to the last game Gatw?

I woke up a little late Saturday and still had to pack up all my stuff, but I managed to be there for most of the second half (which turned out to be the one worth watching). My old man didn't come along, so I can only conclude that he's the jinx, and not me. Damn Tech grads. xnonono2x

[Grizzaholic]

To add onto what another poster said, you have until 6:00 pm tonight, TIX will go on sale at 10:00pm on the net and at 8 tomorrow morning at Griz Tix outlets. If you end up needing one or two I might have an extra one for ya.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Jeezus H., I can't believe it was that hard to get through. I crapped myself when I saw it was tonight so I called again to get through about 4 more times and finally the last time I was able to wait on hold for about 20 minutes. I got a guy and started the process and he put me on hold and poof I was gone. Called back again and waited on hold and got the same guy. He apologized and we went through with the transaction. What a freakin' nightmare, I bet they did another 10,000 today.

[veinup]

And three of those are mine.xnodx

This week is gonna take forever.

[KiddBrewer]

MAN, what a fun game that would be to attend! i want to visit Wash-Griz someday......

I'm confused by this comment Grizza... Are you implying once she met me...
She was then grateful she married you (like some kind of compare and contrast) in which I am the loser..?

Because if you are I kinda like that: I enjoy serving as "The Bad Example"

(And Ursus stay out of this, I already know what you're thinking) xlolx

You didn't tell ME to stay out of this. You've nailed it. I got better sex the night we met you than I have in years. She NEVER has seemed more grateful than since that fateful night at the Blue Moon in Phoenix. xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx

Out of curiosity, how many tickets are allocated to the road team?

I had Cleets buy 196 of them for a business interest he has in Ogden. Turns out the folks there didn't want them so he is having me hand them out to all the Weber fans that I know at our tailgate.

So 4 are still available. Good luck.

[mtgrizfankb]

so after today TUE the 2nd.. i hear 15,000 gone and tonight the tickets go on sale that season ticket holders did not pick up...... student tickets i believe are gone.. not sure tho.

The visitor section gets 200 tops. They can get seats in the South Endzone though.

[mtgrizfankb]

ah i c....well thank you for the info........just wondering where the students from Weber that are coming are going to be....i would think s.endzone corner

[gbhmt]

Griztix.com then I guess?

When we go down for games, we almost always buy a couple from someone outside...

Honestly though, I can't spend 90 min. on the phone any morning mon-fri.

There's always enough to go around. The quality of tailgating at Wa-Griz is quite enticing to some lukewarm fans.

Normally it's best to just tour the tailgates and ask the guy running the/a tailgate if they know of any. They are a good conduit when people at their tailgate have a tik or two.

[mtgrizfankb]

YA, if you dont want to fork money til you know for sure! then i would come before, come early and work the tailgate areas...not only do they have tickets but they keep prices at cost most of the time

Matter of fact, I heard many a profane chant coming from the MSU students (and some non-students, I'm sure) at the latest edition of the Blowout of the Wild. But for some reason, no Griz fans wrote whiny letters to the editor about it. xconfusedx

[HLNgriz]

Gas is cheap, tickets are cheap compared to regular season tickets. Round up a few friends and experience the playoffs at WA GRIZ. I am sure you could find a few takers at eGRIZ from spokane to carpool with. xthumbsupx

Winners don't try to focus on stupid little things and make a big deal out of them. Losers do that as a way of helping themselves cope with the fact that are suckin hind teet again. I think it's cute that they think we give a crap what the little people think. I've never given a crap what a guy thinks about when I've beaten him. He hasn't earned the right for me to care what he thinks. Plus I just beat him...what's he gonna do make me care?

The adverse weather seemed to help Weber at MSU... and at home against UM. (Remember? It only rained on the Griz side of the line of scrimmage.) xlolx xlolx

[GrizRchattybound]

-I've been told it is a sellout based on the early sales and season ticket holders activity.

-I have also been told by a good source that they think it will be a new record attendance crowd.

But here's the deal...

2) I Text on my phone (you don't text) Making me a pain in the ass
3) I like Physics and Photonics (Sure that's Geeky)
4) My shoes don't have laces ever (No I do not own a pair of converse)

OH! You were talking about an actual cat? We really have some work to do. In response to you stream of consciousness by numbers...

1.) Everybody with a pee pee.

2.) Back in the 80's or even the 70's if a fella had set an IBM typewriter next to the phone and said "I can hook this typewriter up to your phone so that you can send a text message over the phone line" I would have said "But I can still just call them right?" at which point he would have said "Of Course!" and then I would have punched him in the face for such a stupid idea.

3.) Admitting it is the 1st step to recovery.

4.) I don't care if you want to wear a pair of those Burno Somalia's shoes but quit telling me to check them out. I don't care that you have the same shoes as OJ.

5.) Good. If you ever hit me and I find out about it, there's gonna be trouble.
