How many of you are heading out there?

Same time as Spring Break, tempted to go.

I am going to Vegas for the conference tournaments, but I am thinking I should of went to Big East tournament as I think we have a real chance to win it.

I can't swing it this year despite access to tickets. Going on vacation the week after and have to hope that the bars in my hotel in Mexico can cover all 4 games at once for the tournament.

I would love to go, but I hate to take several days away from the office only to have us lose early.  I can only play hookie so many times.  I'd rather save it for the NCAA Tourny or something like the preseason NIT (I went this year).

Now in a couple years as I ease into retirement, I may become more of regular for this tournament.

Going for the first time this year.

Been meaning to ask the Scoop brethren about the best ways to get tickets. Do they sell them in doubleheaders? I seem to remember people in years past saying that scalping is the way to go.

Ugh, it's always the week that the auditors come to review our financial records.

Looks like I won't be going to the Big East Tourney until I retire.

I'll be there for the 2nd time. Got all session tickets through Marquette. Felt the prices were reasonable although I'm sure I could have saved some money if I was willing to sacrifice peace of mind.

We'll be staying in East Meadow so that will likely be a pain.

We have a group of 3-6 going. For all but one it will be our first time. Will be monitoring Scoop for ticket-buying suggestions, pre-game locations, etc. Still have to book accommodations. I prefer airbnb or VRBO but I keep hearing that NYC is not friendly to these operators. A lot of them advertise though. Undecided on how to proceed at this time.

Is this one of those things where you can just hire another auditor? You should totally do that.  ;D If it's the state...then good luck.

Short of changing our fiscal year end, there's not much I can do about it. Any earlier, and we probably wouldn't be ready. Any later, and we probably wouldn't be done in time for the BOD meeting.

But I like your way of thinking.

Will be in Maui the last two weeks of the regular season. Will rest up back at home for the BET and then hopefully go out to Des Moines for the first round.

Be careful about buying tickets right outside the Garden. For whatever reason the NYPD work thatcarea like a crime scene. Tons of undercovers.

As much as Benny B lives for March basketball, four weekends in a row of MU tourney basketball is a bit too much for him.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I just stayed at the Renaissance this week. Still have some hiccups to work out (Concierge lounge just opened after 4 months), but great option and location overall.

If St. John's can keep winning, Big East Tournament will have another good year at the ticket gate. Example, Georgetown is at St. John's this Sunday. I heard there is about 500 ticket left for this game at MSG.
