Illinois tickets

[huskeralk]

So I have never done this in all of my years of being a Nebraska fan but this Friday, my friend and I are driving up without tickets in hand. We're going to a collegiate cross country meet on Saturday morning and decided that we might as well try to go to the Husker game while we're there. I didn't want to pay the ridiculous service fees so our plan is to see if we can find some reasonably priced tickets and if not we will just find a brewery to watch the game at. I realize that with both teams being ranked now that I his could be a little bit more tricky.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on where the best place to look for tickets would be? It's been about five years since I've been to a game but I always remember seeing people selling tickets but didn't know if there was a certain area that would be the best place to start at.

You just walk around outside the stadium with two fingers up. You’ll talk to some sellers. if they are too high, just wait. If you get into the middle of the first quarter, their price will come down.. worst case, you walk to the bar like you planned to.

Sometimes I park at North Bottoms and walk across the 10th St pedestrian bridge across the railroad tracks. Upon exiting the bridge there at the northwest corner of the stadium there is usually a guy or two selling tickets. Maybe somebody has a better recommendation to offer up, but I have seen guys selling there.

In the past when needing tickets and not wanting to use a service like seat geek I have walked around some of the big tailgates and just asked groups of people, but often times that method is only good for singles, like someone's wife wasn't feeling well or someone had to take the kid to a game, so hubby had one extra.
