I was thinking that. Just to go and see what someone wants. I will even wait till after kickoff to get the best price. Just something to do on Saturday, before the big game with the Steelers on Sunday.

Due to the traffic issue, get there as early as you can. Also, try to be in the stadium before kickoff. Seeing the band enter the stadium and march down the field is one of those special things about Buckeye football. I agree, finding someone to sell you tickets at a reasonable price should not be a problem for most of the home games this season.

Will, how much are you willing to pay for 2 tickets???

I am waiting on a guy from another forum that might not make the trip from Florida and he was going to give me them for face value but it is not guaranteed. Will find out this weekend.

Since I am getting married on Oct. 13 and my finace' and I are paying for almost the whole wedding. I cannot spend that much. Usually I would not care about price, but right now things are tight because of the wedding.

Was really looking for someone who couldn't go and would want another Buckeye fan to take their place. Never been to the Shoe.

I have a friend who makes his living scalping tickets to feed his family.

But the way I see it is. It is OSU and Akron. I am already going to the Browns vs. Steelers game on Sunday in Cleveland. Would just be a nice bonus to catch a game on the way up.

You can PM your tickets and the price. I will see if it will fit my budget or not.

Thanks.

Wil

I would be interested if some of our other posters could weigh in on this....If one were to arrive say less than 2 hours before game time, and with traffic the way it is, would parking on West Campus and taking the shuttle bus to the stadium make the most sense? I've done it once, and it worked pretty well. (Just a suggestion for our friend dawgbizquick since he is on a tight schedule).

Ive arrived less then 2 hours before a game, even a big 10 game, and had no problems parking. We didnt even take the bus, we walked. Now the people I went with were also 18 year old athletes but the walk to and from was nice. Only problem I ever had parking was for the UM game (Obviously) but we parked at Crew, rode a bus and it was pretty nice as well. The parking isnt as bad as one would think for OSU games, no matter when you get there.

It may be important to understand that there are designated areas to park on campus on football Saturdays. You are not permitted to park in "just any" lot. Some lots are for general public parking and some are reserved. So, you may want to have a plan on where to park before you arrive in Columbus. I've provided a link for those interested in parking information. Hope it helps!
Football Also (and this seems obvious to me). Listen to the pregame radio broadcast, which includes traffic reports. If you are arriving near game time, they will let you know which lots are full, and which ones still have openings. Try one or both of these stations on football Saturdays: 610 AM or 1460 AM.
