2014 Old Spice Classic in Orlando

[Benny B]

We haven't bought our tickets yet--do we just do that through the Orlando Classic Website, or is there a way/allotment through MU?

I talked to someone at the ticket office and they said everything goes through the website... they received no allotment (other than staff/family, I assume).  Unfortunately, the only tickets available are all-session passes... not stoked about paying for basketball I'm not going to watch, but maybe we can offload our early session tickets on the 27th and 28th to some KU or TN fans.

Yeah, we've been debating about how many to get for my wife and I, brother, and parents.  Didn't want to get 5 all-session passes, so decided on 3 all-sessions and either rotate or scalp for the other ones.

Be nice to sell off extras, though, if we can--are they sold individual tickets for each game, afternoon/evening session, or per day?

my tickets are at home, so i am not 100% certain, but i believe i got a separate ticket for each session.

also, regarding seating, each teams' fans gathered behind that bench for the general seating, with turnover occurring between games -- others scattered throughout the rest of the gym.  it was all pretty easy.  got great seats for each game with a 3yo and 1.5yo in tow.  this year they are 8 6 and 4 (not born in '09).  we will all be there.

[Jay Bee]

Wasn't there in 2009, but was there in 2011. Plenty of open seats. Only wild card is not knowing how well KU might travel (or any of the other teams?). Not expecting there to be an issue for folks to find great seats. And, they 'direct' fans of each team playing in a particular game to their own 'part of the gym'..

Don't know if Doc still has a house there, but if so would be nice to see him make it to a game.. he stopped by in 2011... Austin was still at Winter Park HS then IIRC.

Looking forward to it. (Ladies, PM me.)

For a trip to Orlando?  I don't think so.

My tickets have a row and a seat number. I have the same seats for all of the games. However, the tickets also say general admission. The tickets show GA1 Row 107, seats 31 & 32. Maybe general admission applies to the seats available to the public.

I assume that's because in the ticketing system, every ticket has to be listed with a section, row and seat#, even if it is GA.  I once had a GA ticket for a play at a small theater that was Row A, Seat 200, despite the fact there were only 15-20 seats in the rows, but the theater only seated 200 people, so I just figured I bought the last ticket available.

I don't have the physical tickets for Orlando in hand yet, but when I log in to my Ticketmaster account (through the ESPN Events page, not ticketmaster.com), it says my tix are in Row 101, Seats 15-18.  

So at the very least, I'm 6 rows in front of you... must be all those priority points I've racked up.

I went looking for some images of the inside of the arena, came across this one, and said to myself, "oh sh|t... we're already down 20 points to some no name team." 



And then I pondered what I just said, hoping that life doesn't imitate art in a few weeks.

I took some pictures last time I was there, but I was sitting in press row so it's not exactly a normal view:



Then one day before the doors opened I took a pic of the gym:

And that, friends, is how Jay Bee got banned from the Milk House.

[Jay Bee]

We thinking 3-0 or 2-1 at this baby?

BTW, Haanif is playing in a tourney that is probably ~20 mins away... his school is about 4 hours south of Orlando. Some very good teams at the tourney.. Friday and Saturday... his game Friday is problematic no matter when MU plays at night.. Saturday afternoon though, 2pm ET tip. PM me for further details or questions.

[Benny B]

2-1 isn't out of the question.  Lose the first and you avoid Moo U and the Chalk.  Loser's side of the bracket doesn't project terribly difficult.   But I bet Rider is thinking the same thing now.

Should Chode Island wind up as our third game, I'd be concerned. Would strongly prefer a W on Thursday.

[brewcity77]

1-2

If we upset Georgia Tech, we won't get as fortunate against the rest of the winners bracket.

If we lose to Georgia Tech, we probably beat Rider, but Rhode Island will destroy is in the final game, unless they pull off the upset of Kansas, in which case the Jayhawks get that honor.

BTW JB, how's the crib over at the 8?  I wasn't in town for 20 minutes when some meth-chick came up to my rental at Walgreens and tried pulling the "I just need a couple bucks for gas" gag.

If my kids weren't in the car I would have responded with "sorry, got no cash, just looking for the bag of glass my guy cold dropped in a dumpster around here somewhere."

You're there already? Sheesh. Some of us have to make a living.

I'll be down Thursday... decided against Super 8 despite the ultra-attractive price. Think I'm at Comfort Suites or something like that... ~2 miles from the gaylord

I always thogught you could make a living picking hot stocks from anywhere in the world...

We lucked into a huge 5BR rental on VRBO for under $100/night.  Had to get down here and get the kid's stuff* out of the way early before the fun begins on Thursday.

* The "kid's stuff" is more to appease my wife. My kids keep asking when we can. Go to the Marquette game.
