Any one have any luck securing tickets from the Purdue website?

Just got the notification that I am being refunded in full due to their season ticket holders purchasing their allotment.

Same for me. I guess it really was too good to be true.

This will be my first ever trip to Nashville. Got tickets ordered last night from ticketmaster. Paid more than I wanted, but I really wanted to go to the game. My first bowl game since the ‘09 chick fil a bowl against VT. I know parking has sold out. Any tips on parking/tailgating would be much appreciated

There are still club seat tickets at ticketmaster face value on both sides. Recommend looking at map listing so you can see their tickets only and not resale. If you purchase club seats, don't try to get parking because not available and only slows order down. If you have a ticketmaster account, go ahead and log in. Looking forward to game. If you don't care about downtown Nashville there are plenty of good hotels in Goodlettsville and Hendersonville.

St Ann’s Episcopal Church on the east side of the stadium, I think it’s on Woodland is about a block from the stadium parking lots. They allow tailgating. You can search for exact address and directions.

Within walking distance, decent hotels were $500-700+/night when I checked. Insane.

Welcome to Nashville! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Try AirBNB, you may have better luck. Walking distance to Nissan/downtown though, yeah, you're gonna pay. Better options might be East Nasty or West End and just Uber.

I have a room booked for 12/30 at Tru by Hilton Nashville Downtown Convention Center - 2 Queen Beds. I'm not going to the game anymore and am about to cancel it. If one of you wants it, let me know and I'll give you the confirmation #. The total with tax and fees is $484.25. The hotel is completely sold out. Its a 1 mile walk over the pedestrian bridge to the stadium.

So is it the $ or the weather? You’ve b*tched about both. There’s a reason ticket prices and hotels prices are what they are ******they can get it. Nashville is a destination city.

I call it price gouging, but no matter, Shirley and I can't go anyway. And the more I think about it, the more I like being at home eating food I really like, drinking what I actually want to drink, comfortable seating, and a giant projection screen to view the game. I fear current and emerging technology will hasten these corporate greed-mongers into pricing themselves out of the live attendance market. Pushed just as much by the increasing discourtesy and outright anti-social behavior of the public.

Possible solutions?
1. Provide comfortable seating at venues that disallows bipedal whales squeezing you out of your paid seat
2. Do a proper study of local and traveling attendees' demographic composition and price tickets and accommodations accordingly
3. Do post event follow-up studies/surveys of fan attendance to gauge what if any modifications are needed to encourage repeat/future attendees/customers
4. Monitor if possible the best practices of similar events and venues to copy and/or modify for your own
5. If not already being done, make local-focused live and animation avatar commercials featuring teams, schools, and fans that entice attending
6. Work with airlines, charter air services, charter buses, along the way eateries, rest stop lobbies or areas, etc exclusive to verified attendees

But then again, I probably have no idea what I'm talking about. I just happen to be loaded with wild and crazy ideas, being a guy who presumes to think outside the box and even outside the floor or ground the box is on. Matter-of-fact, I'd be the first to tell you to:
