Yup, they won't let us know until they rack and stack the requests with the requestors priority points. Should let us all know tonight via email. You can request up to 8 tickets in the end zone or sidelines but they may or may not be together.

Used the 800 number, took about 15 attempts to get a ring and then the Que. It was an hour wait to count down from 45 people ahead of me. I already had my season tix renewed so I requested Extra. As other posters have indicated it is based on your priority points status which is correct. I am middle of the pack so not expecting to get extras. The next chance will be to get the email link for "Bobcat Fans" for the 10AM Tuesday online chance. I expect chaos, fear and loathing, and perhaps a lucky break. Good luck everyone! [-o<

For the Bobcats presale tomorrow, has that email already gone out? Or how exactly is that process handled?

We had season tickets a couple years ago but stopped when we had our kid. We still make it to 50%+ of the regular season games and all of the playoff games, so we’re definitely in the system. I’d hope that I’d be on that list to get the chance for tickets.

I’m holding out hope our source can get us a couple, but I'm looking at backup options as well.

I’m thinking the amount of tickets that make it to the Wednesday general public sale will be somewhere in the range of 0.

I'm way down on the list, mainly because I had to create a new account a few years back and start from scratch. I've contacted the ticket office a few times attempting to consolidate the two accounts, but no luck. Gonna have to bump up my donations significantly on the new account. Don't tell the wife :-^

I would be really surprised if there were. After the extra ticket requests get filled for the top priority points folks, there's a likelihood a lot of folks are wasting their time. Just the way it is.

The original email indicated semifinal game tickets needed to be requested by Dec. 11. I wonder if those requests will be processed before the requests from today.
Should the Bobcats Host a Semifinal Game: Season Ticket Holders who did not initially claim any or all playoff tickets for this round have the opportunity to claim tickets until Dec. 11th at 11 pm. This includes the request for additional tickets to be fulfilled based on priority points. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Dec. 15th at 10 am.

Stood in line for about 30-45 minutes. Was pretty painless. Saw a lot of people I knew. Griz fans will have to pay out the nose If they want to go. They won't be getting their grubby little paws on any of mine. Go Cats!

An Exclusive Bobcat Pre-Sale for Bobcat fans only will open on Tuesday, Dec. 16th at 10am via email. If you are receiving this email, you are eligible for the pre-sale. Keep an eye on your email Monday evening and Tuesday morning for this exclusive pre-sale link.
All remaining tickets will go on sale Wednesday, Dec. 17th at 1 pm based on availability

This came in email from MSU Saturday. Yes it’s different than the email us season ticket holders received before playoffs. Fair or not, plan is to get maximum tickets in Blue and Gold hands.

so if they are opening up tomorrow am for new purchases, I would imagine additional seat requests from season ticket holders will be processed by then.

I applied for my 2 extra tickets, kind of doubt that I will get them since I am pretty low on priority points I think

My last update on priority was in 2023, no idea where i am any more but it was top 1500 then

They told me on the phone the season ticket "extras" requested would be processed at 5pm today based on priority points. With the deluge of calls and walk ups I would be shocked if there are any available tomorrow or Wednesday.

I saw a post on Facebook from a Griz fan (that I can no longer find unfortunately) complaining that the cats get to buy up all the tickets and essentially that the tickets should be split more equally since it’s the playoffs. Just smh 🤦

When I talked to them this AM they said that those will go out tonight about the same time as the extras.

Remember before ESG GCG we used to say Poooooor grizzlies!
Exactly appropriate for them whining about tickets.

So out of curiosity here, do we know how many season ticket holders there are? I know we have a general idea of how many seats are taken up by season ticket holders, but do we know how many actual accounts make up that number?

I’m having a hard time seeing anything left after today.

Simple math problem; If there are 4,000 individual accounts for season tickets, and if they request even 4 extra tickets in addition to their normal allotment, that’s 16,000 extra tickets requested. On top of the 10-15k of their own seats from their season tickets. We’re looking at 25-30k worth of requests for a supply of 20k.

A lot of people requested all 8, some probably didn't request any. I’m throwing some wild ass guesses out there, but my point being, if there are any that make it to tomorrows presale, I’ll be surprised. And what does make it, will go quickly. I’d be shocked if anything makes it to Wednesday.
