Does anyone have any ideas on getting tickets for Iowa/Wisky game this weekend? The wife and I are going to visit friends there and have never been to Iowa City .... are tickets readily available to scalp on game day around the stadium?? Any tips or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Scalpers are there. At least they always were when I was there. I am sure redsfann will let you know more current info.

First thing tomorrow morning give the ticket office a call and see if there any tix available that way. Iowa hasn't sold out a game yet this season but have to think this one is a sellout seeing its Bucky coming to town.
Tix are available on eBay or stub hub and there are always scalpers out front of Kinnick if you want to wait until Saturday to get them.
You are welcome to stop by our tailgate for a cold one....:toast:
If you have any questions about parking or anything else, get my email from the mods and I'll be glad to answer them for you.

I'm going and scalping as well. There will be plenty of opportunities to scalp. If you are willing to hold out until game time you can get a pretty good deal.

It was a sad day when they closed down Olive Court to tailgating. That was always our spot when I was there. It was so nice to be out in a big grassy field. Now, I think most of my friends tailgate at the law school lot.

You tailgate with the dentists--richy rich.:SIB

Something like that, mark....

It is a high dollar donor lot--the RV lot is right to the South of where we are at...only a 5 minute walk to the stadium from there vs. our 10 minute one.....

Hashish--

In all the years I've been going to Iowa games I can count on one hand the number of times I've been to olive ct to tailgate, and I never went after they started charging to walk in.
Back in my undergrad days we tailgated right across the street from where the tennis courts used to be.... The main hospital was much smaller back then.....
Tailgated for years at the top of myrtle ave as a friend of mine owns 3 houses in a row before the church-- he can put 80 cars in his property--

Ever make it to the Magic Bus tailgate, hashish?

The guy that started that way back when is a close friend of mine---took that bus to Mardi Gras a couple of times...got some stories I could tell about those trips...:SIB

No, I never did make it to a Magic Bus tailgate. I have heard they are a lot of fun though. I can only imagine the hedonism you indulged in on a trip to Mardi Gras in that thing!

Haven't been to a Magic Bus tailgate since Brian sold it to the wrestlers-- that had to have been at least 15 yrs ago.
Premise is still the same-- a few dollars for a cup, lots of kegs. Band playing on the roof of the bus--- had plenty of friends bands play the bus over the years-- and the location then couldn't be beat-- right across Melrose from Kinnick...
Some days I wonder how I'm still alive...;)
