Let me just say that even though I graduated from the University of Utah I've never before been to a Utes football game. Yep, that's right, I was never one of those students who had a ton of school spirit. I spent most of my time with my nose buried in a book and because I was extremely shy and studious I didn't really have a typical college experience. That being said, my husband has always wanted to go to a Utes game. Unfortunately, tickets are quite pricey, even for illustrious alumni. Since it was our anniversary this month I really wanted to do something special for my husband. I heard about TickPick and thought I would give it a try. Essentially TickPick is a website that sells all types of events tickets without paying any sort of convenience fees. I find TickPick to be most helpful for tickets to sold out events or hard to get tickets. There are tons of Utes season ticket holders who can't make it to every game and TickPick would be a place to find tickets that fill up those seats without paying full price so it's a win-win. The only thing I found slightly disappointing was the high shipping fee. Granted, tickets are shipped FedEx and super fast to ensure you get your tickets on time, but just keep in mind that additional fee. Otherwise I was super happy with the tickets we found for a great deal and since my husband is quite into music and sporting events it's definitely nice not to pay all the convenience fees! I was elated that we'd finally get to be able to go to a Utes game! I'd definitely recommend using TickPick if you like music/sports/state fairs or any other number of events. They're definitely worth it to people who go to lots of events!

Me and the hubs showed our Utes pride in all our gear.
I am happy we were able to finally get to a Utes game; from the snacks, to the energy, to doing the wave, it was a great time and our team won 27 to 12! We are definitely planning on going to more games soon!
I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend, let me know what you did in the comments!

ReplyDeleteWe had friends staying with us on Halloween weekend. We went to the zoo together (our zoo is one of the best ones in the United Kingdom), then shopping, and most of the time just ate out, chilled and got to catch up. So that was great :)

DeleteAmericans are strange, we have 3 major sports and if you live here you love at least one hahaha! Hahaha, I wasn't big into any sports either until I met my hubby, his excitement is contagious! That is exciting New Zealand won the world cup! It's always fun to share in other people's passions, even when they aren't particularly your own hahaha. I hope you are having a great week my gorgeous friend, love and hugs your way! XO -Kim
