Can't buy tickets?
Went to buy my tickets tonight, apparently the entire WMU allotment is gone, and i can't even buy GA ticket any longer on the Ford Field Box Office site. Something is screwy here.

Going to try in the morning, Ticket Office opens at 10. There's no way this many tickets are sold.

RE: Can't buy tickets?
it would not surprise me as they were going quick the night of the Toledo game. You are going to have to pony up $5 more per ticket for reserved seats. Is $5 more per ticket a deal breaker? I bought 3 of the reserved seats and I will pick them up at will call at Ford Field. Hopefully their will call is a lot better than the one at Waldo!

That's our plan, the problem is we literally can't buy any tickets on the WMU side. If it comes down to it i'll just buy tickets on the Ohio side tomorrow. it looks like WMU was only alotted a few sections of seats.

WMU was taking ticket orders from season ticket holders prior to the Toledo game. Not surprised their allotment has sold out already.

Yeah i'm not surprised our allotment is gone, especially since it looks like it was only 4 sections, plus a few rows from two others.

Ran into the same problem. We just bought a group of 10 tickets in the Ohio corner endzone section.

Ditto.

This is a nice problem for WMU to have, but it remains a problem.

Ford Field was not selling seats in its upper deck as of yesterday. Maybe that will change this week due to demand.

Can't beat the prices!

Maybe this will become the most highly attended MAC Championship Game. That would be cool, but only if the Broncos win.

Here is a listing of the attendance for all the MAC Championship Games.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_Footba...nship_Game

The record is 28,085, Marshall vs. Toledo.

Hopefully, that record will be broken this year with a WMU ticket buying surge. 04-rock

RE: Can't buy tickets?
I tried calling this morning and only single and a few pairs were available. They hadn't opened up the upper level and didn't know if they would but thought they would. I didn't want to risk paying $50 for a $15 seat on stubhub so I got a suite. $75 a ticket, not bad. They had a few others left.

Section 111 was the best we could get with our group of 6. Had to go through Ford Field site.

I'm beyond pissed at the ticket office because last week they told me a completely different story about how tickets would be offered. I waited until this morning to get tickets in person, because that's what I was told to do.03-banghead

I think the best method to get tickets on the WMU side is to call.

It looks like they opened up the upper deck now for ticket sales on the Ford Field website.

Got my 5 tix over the phone. WMU side by the 40. Called 313.262.2222 for box office, waited about 5 min this afternoon. 313.262.2167 if you need wheelchair accessible. Will be my kid's first time going to a football game! Broncos Rise Up and fill Ford Field.

RE: Can't buy tickets?
Upper Bowl has been opened up. Ticket office told me WMUs 5000 tickets sold out. Ford Field site showed stadium sold out this morning but that was before upper bowl opened up. Bronco sales appear to be above Bobcat. Listening to ticket rep my guess is more Brown than Green this Friday
