Cat-Griz tickets

[Joe Bobcat]

Unless you know someone that is already a donor with a decently high priority point ranking I doubt you will be able to get any directly from MSU. Cat/Griz will not be on sale to general public on 8/5 like other games.

There will be plenty on the secondary market but just be patient. It's essentially the biggest event in Montana and people like to price as such. Don't buy super early, wait for them to come down. Likely not what you would want to do, but I usually tell people that don't need the assurance of having a ticket early to just come to the tailgates and wander. Lots of tickets being sold usually and the closer it gets to game time the cheaper they get.

Okay this confuses me because I’ve heard otherwise from both the ticket office and the bobcat club. The ticket office said that they have those tickets available for regular price on 8/5 and the bobcat club said that they only have 500 tickets available for priority point members.

Doing some simple math: 21000 seats - 13000 season tix - 500 bobcat club tix = 7500 available tickets to the public.

Can someone 100% verify that they will not be available to the general public? Preferably someone who tried to buy them in 2022?

Hey, if you are getting that from the Bobcat Club and ticket office then maybe they are making a change for this year. In the past extra Cat/Griz tickets were not opened up to the public, they were offered based on priority points so I was just speaking from history.

My recollection of history matches what Kmax wrote. I have no idea if there have been changes in how Cat/Griz tickets will be handled this year.

I was going to say that my sister got two SRO tickets in 22 but she probably just used our family account to purchase them. On the bright side, that proves that if you have season tickets it doesn't matter what your priority number is (ours is about as low as it gets) if you're fast enough when they become available. This doesn't help a non-season ticket holder but may be useful for some others on here.

You have to get creative to get Cat/griz tickets. Unless things have changed players get 2 tickets to each game. I would say your best bet would be to have your daughter start dating a football player. Preferably one from out of state who's parents won't be coming to the Cat/griz game.

I like it!

Pimp your daughters out to football players, guys!

First, let me introduce myself as the dad of an incoming MSU freshman. I believe in getting the bad stuff out of the way first, so yes, we come from a large state on the left coast that many people don't like. I don't love it either but here I am.

Anyway - we are huge football fans. When my daughter decided on MSU (pretty much the first time we visited, a year ago) we started following the team. Watched most games last year. She will definitely be huge in the cheering section. I got into following FCS in general as a result and I loved it.

It would be awesome to get to Bozeman for Cat-Griz, it is just before Thanksgiving and we are trying to make a family trip of it. (My wife has siblings in Helena and Kalispell, trying to build my Montana cred with you all)

Obviously I will try to get them through the single game sale on 8/5 but my confidence level is low and I assume I will need to go secondary market. I will need 6 tickets. Don't care if they are good or really if they are together. Just want to get in.

Just looking for a ballpark on what that might end up costing me on seatgeek, etc. $100 each? $350? As a newcomer I have no idea what the market is like.

Thank you all and GO CATS!

First of all, welcome! I love that a new student from out of state is not just becoming a Cat fan, but bringing along new Cat fans with them.

Maybe just try telling people here that you're "from South of Spokane" and leave it at that. But seriously there are lots of great people from your state and we all know it, we're just trying to keep Montana all to ourselves!

Tickets will be hard to come by and won't be cheap, but it's worth it. The atmosphere at a Cat-griz game is hard to beat, and I've been to quite a few SEC and PAC-12 games. People pay $200 or more for tickets to concerts all the time. I'm a live music lover, but I'd take a Cat-griz experience any day, especially when both teams are good.

This rivalry is truly one of the best in all of sports. Not because 22,000 people is a lot in a stadium, because that's small potatoes. Not because it's high-level football, because it doesn't compare to bigger schools in that way. It's really one of the biggest events in MT, and possibly THE biggest. It's in-state and since this state is so small, it feels very personal. Everybody went to high school with multiple fans of the other side, and probably know several people who play or have played for each team. The accessibility that the average person has to coaches and players doesn't happen at the higher levels. Bottom line is, don't be afraid to spend a little money.

What event(s) do you think are on par with Cat/gris football weekend in the State of Montana?

"Don't care if they are good or really if they are together. Just want to get in"

There isn't a bad seat in the stadium.

[jhopmsu79]

Yes I can also confirm the closer to the game they cheaper they get. I go to the game every year whether it's here or Missoula. People always selling out front before kickoff. I paid $60 last year and maybe around $50 for several years. Just be patient and don't over pay. Nothing like Cat Griz

I had a buddy looking for a ticket just before Cat\Griz after CGD and we couldn't find anything. We must be bad scalpers.

Good luck I've been trying to go back to cat griz since graduated in 2014, never happened if you don't donate good luck

Okay this confuses me because I’ve heard otherwise from both the ticket office and the bobcat club. The ticket office said that they have those tickets available for regular price on 8/5 and the bobcat club said that they only have 500 tickets available for priority point members.

Doing some simple math: 21000 seats - 13000 season tix - 500 bobcat club tix = 7500 available tickets to the public.

Can someone 100% verify that they will not be available to the general public? Preferably someone who tried to buy them in 2022?

There's no way 7500 Cat/griz tickets will go on sale 8/5. I'm highly doubtful of the 500 tickets for priority Bobcat Club members, that is where almost all the extra tickets go to.
Plus, your numbers dont account for the griz allotment of tickets. Not sure how many they get but its probably around 1000-2000 just as a guess.

No I cannot 100% verify that there won't be any available to the general public on 8/5 but I've personally never gotten any nor known anybody who has gotten Cat griz tickets that way, at least in the last 10-12 years.

Thank you all for the helpful replies. We will see what happens as time gets closer and at the very least I will soak up a few drinks in the parking lot and then go support a local bar.

Go Cats!

Go Cats!

As the game nears I'll reach out to you and see what you're still needing. I don't know if I'll have the full 6 you need but I might be able to help.

Congrats to your son and Go Cats!
