Nothing will be available until the end of March I believe. Unless you're looking for tix for the breakfast, it won't be a problem getting in. I think the local Meyers sells them and you can get them through the Notre Dame ticket office or via the net at http://www.und.com.

I don't think they have been realeased yet. I know you can by them at the gate, or buy them at local Meijer locations at a discouted price. That's where I always get mine. You might want to check the ND web site a month or so before the game. They'll probably have some kind of info on tickets, I know they did last year.

The game is on April 21st for anyone that didn't already know. I think kickoff is scheduled for 1pm EST or shortly thereafter.

I just went and got the ticket stub from last's years game out of my bedroom, and the Adult Gerneral Admission ticket from Meijer was $8.00, I think it's somwhere between $12 and $15 at the gate.

I actually like the old Blue/Gold games better. Before they became such a huge deal, they used to let the kids go down onto the field befor the game and hang out with the players and get their autographs. Which is a very big deal if you're a little kid that grows up loving ND. I can still remember hanging out with Bryant Young, and Junior Bryant before one game.

I just hope that it isn't a running clock this year. I doubt it will b/c of the QB battle.

I've heard the celebrity coaches are going to be Lou and Ara. Last year they were Bettis, Rocket, and the Golic brothers. A.J. Hawk was there as well, and he skipped O$U's spring game to do so. He and Laura are on record as saying that their first kid will be going to ND. We'll know for sure then if Good's an ND fan or not. If their first child turns out to be just like daddy, then he is. :wink:

I agree with you on the running clock issue.

Lou and Ara would be freaking outstanding. A bit of "Old School" mixed in with the new era of players that CW's bringing in. Love it...Love it...LOVE IT!!! That's a whole lotta football knowledge on one field at one time! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'll be there no matter what. I'm planning on taking my 6yr old son to his first ND "game", so I will probably be more sober than normal.

What is the limit on tickets? Is it pretty much a guarantee that anyone who shows up will get in?

No, at least not yet. last year was the largest crouds ever, and it was just over 40k or 41k, I can't remember which. However they didn't open the upper deck of the stadium so the bottom was 4/5 of the way full and it was almost a sell out. I'm not sure if they'll open it up this year or not.

Here's a video of TT's long TD run in last year's B/G game. It was taken from the SE part of the stadium.

Blue-gold Game Seating

Blue-gold Game Seating

Is there an advantage to purchase tickets early or is seating first come, first served? What time do the gates usually open? Will the normal pre- fall game activities/traditions be followed prior to the game? What about other Notre Dame football-related events will be available? Thanks for any information/advice.

The seats are first come first serve. I think the gates open about an hour before kick, maybe 1 and a half. Last year they had like a pep band. You hear the fight song a lot. Before the game is like a saturday in the fall (tailgating, campus,etc) The "Shirt" is displayed on Friday and on sale at the bookstore that weekend.

To add on to what Shamrock said, they also have an area set up for kids where they have big air blown bounce houses and climbers and such so they're not bored to death standing around while you're tailgating. Another nice thing is that all the parking is done right around the stadium lots. I don't even think that White lot is used. We usually get there around 7:30 am so I could be wrong on that.

You can do both, buy them over the internet through the university, or you can buy them at the gate, or, I've been told, you can get them at South Bend area Meijir stores. They are "cheaper" if you get them over the internet. But When you factor in the shipping and handling (about 10 bucks) you lose money.
