Oooh Kips! You just got faced!
I got pwned. +1
lol...but to answer your question, B&G donors and season ticket holders have until Dec. 18 to get their orders in for an advance offer. $395 for an all-session pass plus $15 handling charge. Allocation will be based on giving and priority points.
Plenty of tickets available outside MSG for less than face. We bought the all-session thing last time we went, will never do that again.

Agree. We went to the 2008 tournament and stayed for three MU games (Seton Hall, ND, Pitt). We thought we would pay for all of the tickets by scalping our championship tickets. Wrong. We sold them outside for $25 a piece.
The good thing about buying them through MU was that they were great seats and we knew where they were before we left. But really, it seems like the price all depends on match-ups. If UCONN or Syracuse is playing in the session, it seems like the tickets are more. Most fans out there don't give a crap about MU or Depaul or South Florida, etc. Don't know where you are flying out of, but Midwest and AirTran out of MKE are always cheap, especially when you throw in Newark as an option. After we beat ND, we re-booked our tickets for the next day for $50. If you're flexible, I would just wing it out there.
IMO, this is the ultimate mancation with the right group. Better than going to the NCAAs, better than going to Vegas to watch the NCAAs. Unlike most other NCAA BBall events, they serve beer -- there's even an Irish Pub in MSG serving Guiness. Each school takes over an NYC bar (ours was Connellys) and a hotel (Westin Times Square), so you are surrounded by other MU faithful. Highly recommended.
I live in the city, I wanna buy them not only to watch MU, but the semis and finals tickets sell for a lot. After last years game people were selling the syracuse Uconn game, which was the night session quarters, for 200 a pop
The final session does not go for much yet is the most expensive ticket in the package. The Thursday and Friday night tickets do go for more than face so you can get your money if you sell one of those.
I buy them from MU primarily to sit with other people cheering for MU. I have met lots of fans and friends as a result. Plus the tickets are all lowers which are great for near any games except the bad matchups Tuesday and Wednesday.
If u don't care who you sit next to (ND and SYR fans) then just buy Thursday and FRiday outside right after a Wednesday session when someone's team loses or gets upset. If SYR is in the game the tickets are worth more as they just have a few hours drive. I would image the same for Setan Hall or St.Johns but not that many fans.

+1K.
Maybe you don't care if DePaul wins, but consider this: Last season, DePaul one just one game in the Big East, and it was at the tournament. Every team in our league plays hard,, so if you love college basketball, this is like heaven, plus the vast majority of fans in the stands are of the same mind. (There are still a few NYC coat-and-tie/bring-the-kids-so-they-can-brag-at-finishing-school fans, unfortunately, and the usual assortment of NYC-in-your-face-know-it-alls, but it's OK if you consider that part of the MSG street theater and thus part of the entertainment.)
You will meet old MU friends and make new MU and Big East friends. I buy the whole package and attend every session. Saw the six-overtime game last year. Buy the package through MU or buy tix out front, depending on your own priority (good-seat certainty, no street haggling stress, vs. scoring a cheap ticket from an eliminated-team fan or maximum time-in-NY schedule flexibility. I like to buy ahead of time and go with my son (who lives in NY) or his friends. This year I'm sharing at least some of my tickets with a guy I met at this tournament three years ago who, like me, comes every year just because this is a tremendous atmosphere. (He lives in Rochester and is a 'Cuse fan.)
Last year, the MU bar was relocated to a bar across the street from the Garden.
