A number of North Dakota State football fans had their tickets to the Bison’s FCS quarterfinals matchup against South Dakota canceled due to acquiring them in amusing fashion.
NDSU fans bought tickets to the matchup, scheduled for Saturday in Vermillion, S.D., on the South Dakota website by guessing the password “playoffs,” Jeff Kolpack of The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead reported Tuesday.
The eight-letter password, originally intended for South Dakota season-ticket holders and booster club members only, spread like wildfire across NDSU message boards.
