Viking Broncos Tickets

I think your son has the right idea, particularly for a
non-division game. I have 2 seats. Another season ticket owner has the 2 seats
next to mine. At the beginning of the season we look at the schedule and swap a
non-division game or two so each of us has 4 seats for those games. For the
games where I don’t have my usual seats I wait until the day before or day of
the game to pick up tickets. Last year, I picked up 2 Delta 360 club tickets for
the Cardinals game (food/drink included, player entrance, etc) for the same
price as my regular seats. I purchased the day before the game. Last week I
picked up 2 Medtronic club (food/drink included) tickets for the Washington
game for less than what I pay for my regular seats. I monitored ticket prices and purchased the morning of
the game. 

One more thing… not sure where you are searching outside
of Ticketmaster and Stubhub, but there are some Facebook groups where you can
find tickets (Minnesota Vikings Season Ticket Holder Group, Minnesota Ticket
Exchange, etc). Of course, there are always unscrupulous people looking to take
your money for nothing with direct sales but I’m sure you already know that. Now that tickets must be transferred to an account, hopefully it's cut down on some of the opportunities to scam people.

Thanks, Nichelle.  I think you're right that I shouldn't sweat on not having tickets yet.  I'll get them.  B)

Nichelle, do you use Stubhub and Ticketmaster?  I've been lucky with Craigslist in the past, but the last game I've attended was at the Gophs outdoor stadium (cold Dec game).  Tickets were plenyful, and I scored really nice 40 yardline lower level seats.
Also, if you run into anyone wanting to sell tickets, let me know - thanks!

Just curious, what should I expect to spend for seats?  I saw tickets in section 114 and I offered the guy $450 for two, and he said no.  Most 3rd level seats right now are at least $200-$250 per seat.  Anything lower bowl level on the sidelines are at least $275-$1,100 depending on how close to the 50 yard line.
There's no way I'm going to drop $600 or more just for tickets.  I could gather up my buddies that are in the Cities and buy all kinds of food and drinks and have a hell of a Viking game party somewhere for way less.
Realistically, if I wait until the weekend of Nov16th, what should I expect to pay for non-nose bleed seats?  Maybe something lower bowl near the 10-20 yardline? 

Just curious not just because I'm obviously cheap, but my wife isn't to thrilled about throwing down 5 or 6 bills just to get into the stadium.  B)

Hi,Looks like my wife and are going to be in the Cities the 16th and 17th of November.  I mentioned going to the game and my wife wanted to.  I haven't been to the Viking Ice Castle yet, and the last few times I've gotten Viking tickets it's been through Craigslist and it worked out well.  Maybe I've been lucky, but I've found season ticket holders that couldn't make the game got them for nearly face value. I started my search today, and I haven't gotten that kind of luck yet.  B)

Does anyone have ideas on where to score tickets?  My son lives downtown about 3 miles from the US Bank Stadium, and he actually paid $12 for a ticket because he waited until the game started.  He missed the first 10 minutes of the game, but he had a blast. 

Thanks in advance - SKOL!

yep

I think my daughter paid like $187 each for three tickets.  Not sure exactly but I think we are around section 116 or 122 ?

my advice is dont get swept up on having to attend the game,  go down to the game with the intention of taking in the atmosphere and tailgating experience... and then see what you can find via scalpers.   with the success of the team tickets are more in demand now than they were a few weeks ago.   if things dont go well in KC or Dallas then maybe there will be more willing to sell and less buyers?  I will say SD has a fair amount of donkey fans and for those in the eastern part of the state its pretty much a much attend game so that drives the sales as well.

I thought tickets were only electronic now?  Do the game day scalpers walking around by the stadium now accept paypal and transfer tickets to people?

there has to be some way for them to do it as I still hear of people buying them onsite right before the games.  hell if nothing else while you are enjoying Nichelles tailgate festivities (you really got to go meet that group)  you can be checking the tickets sites on your phone,  i would have to think people drop their asking prices shortly before the games or those that have things come up last minute try and recoup parts of their costs.
