I already have my hotel booked and have purchased enough General Admission tickets for two games, but I want to buy tickets in reserved seating for a few of the games. Not knowing what game LSU will be in (besides game #4 - first day), how do you go about getting tickets while in Omaha?

Are there people unloading tickets from complete books? Should I may an extra trip just before the end of another teams game to try to get their extra tickets after their game is over, are there scalpers all day getting rid of individual game tickets, wil the box office have any tickets?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Lots of people selling reserve seats outside the stadium. If I remember correctly they have limited reserve tickets at the box office, but the lines are long and they run out. Best bet is to buy them off of someone outside the stadium

I live in Omaha. Yes, there are almost always tickets available outside the stadium, prices can vary a lot. The GA tickets don't guarantee you entry, just if you are the first however many in line, and those GA seats are all in the outfield in the direct sun. If it's like previous years, there will be limited reserved seats available each day at the box office. There is also a website that NCAA/CWS promotes for buying/selling tickets, the tickets will be at the box office if you buy that way. I believe the site is cws.flashseats.com You can bid on tickets or buy at the asking price. I've used it, it is super easy. Suggest you review the info at www.cwsomaha.com

does ticket exchange ever sell out? or prices get crazy like 100+ dollars for all tickets?

Always tickets outside the stadium (rosenblatt). Get it from a scalper if you need too

what would you say the price range on the tickets outside the stadium. Even scalpers.

is it pretty easy to find tickets outside the stadium.

Generally we found them for face value, maybe $10 over ('09). The only time we ever over paid ($60 over per) was '96 championship game but the seats were also behind the plate. I don't know if this is the same with the new stadium, but I assume it is

thanks, I'm actually in omaha for something other than baseball. I can go to all of the night games even though I may run late (no more than an inning). I just want to make I have tickets to the ones I can make.
