Title: NCAA TIX
Post by: sailwi on February 11, 2010, 05:19:33 PM
Got my NCAA tix today.  My season seats are 10 rows behind the basket and these are section 403, row M.

Hope UK comes to town, might have to sell the first 2 sessions.

Do your tickets show up on your NCAA online account?

Not aware of any NCAA online account.  The tickets are hard copy and the note enclosed states lost tickets may not be replaced which suggests you won't be able to e mail them via stub hub or the like.

Wow Sail - I am in the last row of the lower bowl for my season tix and I got last row of the lower bowl for the tournament.  I guess I should count my lucky stars!

Hey, slightly off topic, but is anyone planning on heading out to Manhattan to watch the big east tournament?

Live in the city too.  was at last years game, got pretty drunk, was this close to buying a ticket for the night session, but said "Hey, its not gonna be worth the 100 plus bucks".  Hence, I fail at life.

I'm pretty certain the NCAA seating is based on your priority points, not where your season seats are located (although admittedly, there is a correlation).

I just logged into my NCAA ticket account and there's nothing there.  It seems like it was just a throwaway account for ordering seats instead of something that they'll be updating and that I could use for managing my seats.  Ah well... back to checking the mail every day!

EDIT:  According to the initial email about purchasing tickets that I received from the NCAA in early September --
QuoteTickets will be shipped to your attention at the address provided in your account. If tickets are not received by March 1, it is the applicant's responsibility to call the venue to inquire about the status of their ticket delivery.

I think I'll be in Milwaukee for the tourney, how do the tickets work?  As far as prices, 1-Day vs. 2-Day, re-entry etc.  I don't have any tickets, but i'll definitely be looking to buy some.

All I know is that the pre-sale from last year (that I purchased) were all-session tickets for $212 apiece.  I haven't seen any tickets besides those for sale officially.

After people get their tickets this month I'm sure that you'll start to see some more tickets for sale, but from past experiences it's cheaper to grab tickets from scalpers outside of the Bradley Center after the losing fans go back home.

The games are all sold out.  Only chance to get tix are on the secondary market (eBay, StubHub, ticket brokers, etc.) or from scalpers on the streets the day of.

Prices will highly depend on who draws Milwaukee as a first-round site.  If any Big Ten team, Kansas or Kentucky draws Milwaukee, prices will be over face value.

First Round (Friday) - There are two games in the afternoon session and two games in the evening.  Each session is a separate ticket (and separate entry).

Second Round (Sunday) - One ticket gets you to both games.  Depending on the results of the first round, ticket prices can swing drastically for the second round games (ex. if Kentucky and UW draw Milwaukee and their fans buy up tickets for the whole weekend and both get beat on Friday, all of those fans will sell their tickets to scalpers for whatever they can get... more supply + less demand = lower prices).

Just received mine as well.  Section 203, row R, no where near as nice as my season tickets, but way better than last time we hosted...
