pfm LIR: In the end it turned out to be more stressful than hard. Tickets went on sale at 5:30 am (my time), so I was up and logged into the ticket

system by 5.
Once you're logged into the ticket purchase system they put you into a queue, and from that queue allow a certain amount of people (they didn't say how many) at a time to purchase tickets.
They don't release any information on how many tickets are released to the general public, after the tickets for students, season ticket holders, and alumni (and they run a lottery for alumni tickets), are set aside either.
By 5:32 I had been released from the queue to purchase tickets and five minutes later I had the "best seats available" which were in the Upper Deck, corner of the end zone, 9 rows up. I held those tickets but tried one more time to see what other seat options might be out there and it came back with basically the same tickets in the other corner of the end zone, but two rows further up, so I took the original tickets.
So basically weeks of stressing out as to whether i'd be able to get tickets...and then 5 minutes to actually get them. heh
And then there was the stress of booking flights/hotel room, etc.
and yet, still...
Priceless.
