Does anyone know if box office purchase before the event date is possible? 
I’ve been trying to reach SnapDragon Stadium box office and there is no answer or recording. The marked up resale prices on Ticketmaster is a huge ripoff. Anyone know if it’s possible? I hate to drive down there to a closed ticket window. 
thanks for any info

I know you can't in Arlington. 

I don't know if it's a Feld or a stadium thing.

I agree. All lower bowl tickets for Indy are $200+ per ticket. Fucking ridiculous. Event promoters need to stop letting TM use their events to commit fraud.

According to their website the box office is open Wed - Fri from 10 am to 5 pm., and also 2 hours before any event.

https://www.snapdragonstadium.com/events/ticket-office

It looks like they sell tickets but I'd probably want to get someone on the phone first to confirm.

I’ll never forget as a child going to cycle parts west and beach Yamaha to buy tickets and they bust out that binder with the seating chart. Good times.

Yes you can. The box office hours are listed on the snapdragon website. I purchased tickets from the box office at face value. No BS fees.

Right? I went online after our box seats fell through (not enough people wanted to go) and the regular seats I always get every year are $100 over what I usually get them for. It's absolutely ridiculous. I cancelled my hotel. Money saved for Redbud, I suppose.

True story, this past winter/spring(?) I’m in Minneapolis, absolutely have no hook up for SX tix anymore (unsure anybody does) it’s 2 degrees Fahrenheit, go up to stadium ticket-window, $85 later I have the “ticket” on my phone. Older gentleman at window next to me, had no credit card and no smart phone, walked away unhappy, no admittance. *I did notice at Indy SX that the new procedures have done away with Scalpers…for what it’s worth. D73621C8-0D3F-44B5-A7C2-F0883AD5DF53.jpeg?VersionId=.sEfgi8gO83Ig0Cmej0YVw.AX5bx

Last year at Dallas, I had bought all the tickets for our group of 5, well in advance.  You can't print them anymore so it was all on my phone.

At the stadium, they said everyone must have their OWN ticket on their OWN device.  Cool...everyone had a phone.  All I have to do is send each person their digital ticket.  PROBLEM...this was ATT stadium...I have T-Mobile.  They block other carriers.  My phone was dead as John F. Kennedy.

Luckily, the folks at the gate had seen this a million times.  Scanned everyone from my phone.  Btw...That big ass screen is magic for a blind old man.

Those $200+ tickets are from resellers (which shouldn't be allowed for more than face value, IMO).

The most expensive Ticketmaster ticket for the Indy SX is $72 including the Ticketmaster fees.

Off topic but Rup, I just gotta say I love the random pics you always post that most times have nothing to do with what everyone's talking about, especially the ones you've taken yourself throughout the years, always amazing stuff. You are a treasure to this forum dude. Cool

Exactly. First thing I do is un-click the “verified reseller ticket” box in the filters page. It’s amazing the price differences after that…

That would be frustrating making everyone have their own digital ticket.

I'm not sure legally they can block other carriers at that stadium though. I think you were just dealing with a bandwidth issue due to crowd size.

Honestly, I don't know if they are "actively" blocking signals or just using "influence" to make sure there aren't any competitors towers nearby.

I've encountered the same thing at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson.  Their title sponsor is Verizon, I believe.  Now that T-Mobile and Verizon are married...it may be moot now.

Regardless the reason...my phone is a brick at that placeBlush.

Yea, I'd definitely recommend going today or tomorrow before traffic and people become a shit show.

Does anyone know if box office purchase before the event date is possible? 
I’ve been trying to reach SnapDragon Stadium box office and there is no answer or recording. The marked up resale prices on Ticketmaster is a huge ripoff. Anyone know if it’s possible? I hate to drive down there to a closed ticket window. 
thanks for any info 

Call NCY 760-432-9501 and see if they have any for sale. They always used to.

I can promise you there is no signal blocking going on inside AT&T stadium. Helped build the DAS(indoor cell site) and spent many a long day inside their troubleshooting after all carriers were running inside. Bandwidth is the big issue out there. T-mobile also sets up COW’s(carrier on wheels) in the silver lot to help with that. Also Verizon and T-Mobile are not married. T-Mobile bought Sprint before they filed bankruptcy not long ago though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Looking at Daytona tickets and can't believe how much they are. I have gone the last couple years and this year they have jumped considerably. If it were just the wife and I, the would grab some general admission tickets but I think my young kids (7 and 9) would be fairly miserable with those considering they wouldn't be able to see very well.

I stand corrected.  All I know for sure is that I circled the stadium outside and never got a signal...Blush
