Does anyone have any ticket info on the MU-OSU game? Will MU be offering a ticket/hotel package like they do with the neutral site tournaments? Just curious. Thanks in advance.
I apologize if this has been mentioned on another thread.
I second this request... How much do I need to donate?

If it's like last years game between UNC and MSU there will be no tickets for sale. They all go to our servicemen and women - and rightfully so.
Last year they said they could hold 7000 tickets each school got 750 the company that is put it on got 1000 and the military got 4000. They ended up being able to hold 8000 so I'm not sure where the rest went. This year they will only be 4000 or so tickets so I'm guessing MU will at the most get 400 tickets, probably less. Bottom line is if you do not have a name of a building on MU campus it seems pretty unlikely.

and if I remember hearing correctly, because of security, each ticket was tied to a person so scalping wasn't even an option.
Looks like a local bar will do!
^ that might have been because of POTUS' attendence although he still might attend this year (esp. being on the east coast)

In addition to that, last year was on a commissioned vessel in which Bin Laden's body was tossed overboard seven months earlier. Our game is on a decommissioned floating museum. I doubt Obama shows up a week a few days after the election, and there aren't military personnel who sleep right below the court so they might not be given as many tickets. If I were to guess I'd say tickets could be easier to obtain than last year's game despite half the seats.
I'd more likely guess Lebron (Team Ohio State) and Wade (Team Marquette) to show up if they have an off night

Does this mean that Garnett is Team Illinois?
