[reinko]

Any Scoopers score Pavilion tickets?  Stoked to be headed there, holler if you are making the trek!

I’m in, Reinko.  Going in gold against all that Nova blue? 

Can’t wait to see the Pavillion re-do.

And an MU win!

Do you people work or are you retired/independently wealthy? what is it? Who can just fly out to philly for a Wednesday night basketball game.

There's something called PTO.

I'll be there! Anyone else going to the pre-game reception?

This may be shocking, but not everyone on this board lives in Milwaukee.

In all honesty, I’m a New Englander, and have an amazing good friend who is season ticket holder(who has access to tix for road games) but also travels for his job and gifted hotel and flight points for yours truly to be there.  And PTO 😀

Lol.  I’ve made it to 7 games this year so far.  Got a 5 pack plus tickets to one other game. Also went to the game at DePaul.

Live in Chicago area so area so it’s easy- for Butler game (8:00 start- I went after work and drove home after the game.).  So no need to stay over  - even easier for the 4 Saturday games.

Nova situation is special.  Daughter is a senior there and a huge hoops fan (sadly, MU now is her second favorite team). I went her freshman year too (the last 2 years the game at Nova was over break or otherwise bad timing).  So, planned this one for a while (though since you’re concerned, I’m only missing 1/2 day of work - very early flight back on Thursday! but, I’m also senior enough to control my schedule more or less.) 

All that said, the tickets were much more pricey then 3 years ago, so you won’t be able to spot my gold hoodie as easily this time.

Looks like Marquette still has some left in their allotment

$85/ticket which includes food at pregame reception and shuttle to the game from downtown. $20 for food at the reception and shuttle to the game if you already have tickets.

Awesome. Hate the late tip in EST but can’t ask for a better team to call it

Game follows USA vs Japan in Women's Soccer on FS1. Should have a solid lead-in.

Meant to say late tip. 11:30ish finish then too much adrenaline to go straight to bed makes for a late night!
