Taking a break from reading 85% of scoop b*tching about everything to see of anyone has any idea when tickets will go on sale.
I wish they gave the people who were at this game first dibs, but I know that won't happen. So I hope they limit it to less than 8 so that I have a chance with 50 points, since I barely got one for tonight.
I'd bet an email goes out tomorrow with the sale starting Friday morning. Most likely same format other than a possible lower cap on number of tickets per STH.

It went out tonight. Tickets on sale tomorrow with the same set up and timing.
They did limit it to less than 8, but for some reason everyone continues to use the 8 ticket limit--even though NO ONE was able to purchase 8 tickets. It was a 6 ticket max.
The ticket office is doing the exact same thing starting Thurs. at the exact same times and the exact same point priority system as the Harvard game.
I cannot believe that the ticket office did not listen to all of those who shouted from the mountaintop whom called the ticket office, and weren't gonna stand for this. Message received loud and clear.

Good call, I hadn't checked my email yet. Didn't think they'd make all the sweater vests stay up this late to find out when they can get tickets.
For some reason I don't get these emails. What is the cost?

Be interesting to see if they reduce the ticket limit. If not this may sell out even faster for a weekend game.
3:30 on a Sunday afternoon? Not optimal. Saturday afternoon would have been much better..or an earlier start Sunday(which I know they have no say in).

There's exactly 8 games in the second round, and fully 4 of them are Monday night. The single game on Saturday features teams that played Tuesday. And you're complaining that they got the middle slot on Sunday. Smh.
MU needs the extra day off.
I don't get the bitching about the process and calling the ticket office to complain. Buy your tickets (if you have the points), go to the game and enjoy.
What really bothers me in all of this is not how they're allocating the tickets or where they're drawing the cut-off's (75, 200, 750), but that MU is using a different system to allocate tickets than they normally use. Maybe it's not a perfect system, but a wise person once said, "if you're going to be wrong, at least be consistent."
I can understand why they setup the system for yesterday's game... quick turnaround, unknown demand, planning efforts needing to be focused elsewhere, etc.; however, I got an email a few days before the BET to put in requests for NCAA tickets... if MU had squeaked into Dayton, they would have had about a week in total to set up the system and 48 hours to fulfill requests. Just imagine the backlash if MU sent out a similar email with NIT ticket requests last week... ZOMG, that would have been Hiroshigasakiormandy all over again. So, of course, trying to set up and fulfill NIT ticket requests on the usual system on what could have been as little as less than 46-47 hours' notice, I understand why they did yesterday's allocation the way they did.
But at 7:37pm on Sunday night, MU should have simultaneously launched both systems... the "75/200/750" for yesterday and the "request-based allocation" system for any potential games MU would play. In fact, what better way to flush out demand that to give the people willing to commit in advance priority (based on their points/groups)? As it stands.... MU has no idea what demand is going to be tomorrow, let alone next week (if ND poops the bed), until tickets go on sale, which in yesterday's case, meant a lot of willing and able fans got shut out. [Aside: By the way, tickets may have been sold out, but I assure you , even if you included the players, refs, media and the clueless security folks who couldn't tell the difference between GA and ADA seats, there was nowhere close to 3,700 people in the Al last night.]
Now I get that the NIT sites aren't always known the first few rounds, which can make it somewhat chaotic if you're a 4- or 5-seed, but MU is a 2-seed... there are only three possible sites they can play: Al, Joyce, and MSG. That's fewer permutations than the NCAA tournament, and yet they seem to work the allocation around that just fine. Everyone puts in their request(s), and tickets are allocated, in order, by priority groups/points. After giving Harvard their allocation of, what, like 50 seats (let's call it an even 200), that's still 3,500 seats MU has to allocate, which still leaves plenty for the rest of us plebes after Clan Novak gets theirs.
Forcing people to sit at their computers and hit refresh every few seconds just to get tickets might work for U2 or Jimmy Buffett, but We Are Marquette, not Live Nation or C3 or whatever. Whether you think MU is better than the NIT aside, the ticket operations staff (is quite capable and) should be trusted to be better than this.
Incidentally, MU covers their ass in doing it the way they are since the tournament ticket allocation language on the PP page clearly says "NCAA and Big East Tournament" without any mention of NIT (imagine the backlash if they did!)...

Full disclosure: I got my six tickets for yesterday, and I'm moderately comfortable that I'll get my four for Sunday (not taking my youngest again, and my apologies to anyone else in the rows in front and behind of us that bore the brunt of her kicking and flailing pom-poms).

Everyone complains without knowing the totality of what happens in the ticket office. And I have no idea, but maybe there isn't a good way to do it. As we can see on this board, people will bitch about anything and everything. The system is what it is and little ways to make it better. If people don't like the day of the game, the venue, the price, the team, the coach, the AD, the future or whatever, DON'T GO THE THE FREAKIN' GAME!

Simple Logic.
So is it after 3 today that tickets will be available to other than season ticket holders (assuming some are still available), or is that just a stupid question?

Nope. 4 pm. STHs with minimal B&G points are slotted at 3p.
What's anyone's best guess as to how to snag a couple of tickets? Trading post? Other? Thanks. I'll hang up and listen for my answer.

That was kind of my point... they already have a system that seems to have worked just fine for many years now, and yet, they've elected to go with a completely different system for the NIT games.
The secondary point is that people actually do want to go to the games. If people didn't want to go (or leave at halftime), there probably wouldn't be much angst from those fans who aren't STH's, or even those who are who don't have enough points to get a window where it basically boils down to how mad your browser refresh skillz are.

Trading post probably. Maybe a few scoopers who will give it to you for face value if they find they cannot attend. You'll get gouged like crazy on the 3rd party sites such as stubhub.

Not sure of how many scoopers are in the 200+ range, a lot of info for the Harvard game came in at 1.
I predict an experience similar to the Harvard sale.
At 11:01 all reserved were gone. Got 6 general admission
Get in touch with a student, that's how I got mine for the game. Also got an extra one for a friend by being put on the waiting list. Got the call at about 1:00 on game day but if you're local that's not a huge issue.
If anyone asks who is sitting in Sir Larry's seats on Sunday leaving beef n cheddar crumbs, that's absolutely not me.

I am not sure exactly what it means, but for last nights game I got Section GA3, row G00 seats 235 and 236.
Today I logged in about 5 minutes later and got Section GA5, Row G01 seats 317 and 318.

I had a dream that we burned Joey's shirt to make a run at the NIT title. We hung a banner, and Wojo said burning his shirt wouldn't matter since Joey wouldn't be around 4 years. Joey immediately entered the NBA draft.

All kidding aside, if a kid graduates high school in December and plays for his college in the spring semester could he be eligible for the NBA draft that summer or does said "student athlete" have to be out of high school for a specified calendar period?

AFAIK he is eligible 1 year after his HS class would graduate or be 19YO
3:00 window opened.
Edit: cut off. Opened.... at 2:57.
Sold out before the 3:00 window opened. Probably opened it for everyone once it sold out.
sold out. so effing annoying

Glad I was on early, was able to grab 2 when they were made available at 2:57.
I luckily pressed refresh at 2:57 and saw it pop up. Snagged 1, but unfortunately, no one else I was going to go with got any. This is brutal, but at least our arena is full. ND couldn't fill first 20 rows for their 1st game.
Ticket office is now 0-2 in NIT ticket sales.
Got all 4 of mine. I'll let some of you know if 2 decide to not go.
how were some folks able to buy them at 2:57 when they had the 3pm slot???
they didn't show up in my account until 3:01

I started refreshing my browser at 2:54pm just in case something stupid happened. Because Benny knows stupid when he sees it, and also knew stupid is as stupid does these days at the ticket office, apparently.
Speaking of stupid, I'm the guy that was holding two phones refreshing browsers at a bar in the North Loop. Now I feel stupid.

That's true, but I do think it is an issue when they send out an email saying "your window opens at 3:00 pm" and they open it early. In the email, I was told 3. That was a lie and because I believed them, I didn't have the same opportunity to purchase.

I'd love to know who the person is with 750+ points that feels the need to buy tickets at $15 and sell for $200. If you have 750+ points, you are either very old, very wealthy, or both and I don't think the $370 profit you are making from your two seats is worth you taking seats from other MU season ticket holders to purchase.
yes, I'm assuming they have over 750 points since they are 3rd row, center court seats.

Is there something going on at the Arena or the BC on Sunday?
The problem isn't how the ticket office is distributing tickets, it is that 7,000 -10,000 diehard MU fans don't fit in a 3700 seat gym.

It comes down to having a sellout NIT game for no rent at the Al. Or pay rent at the Mecca or BC and risk having half the place empty. Though I msyelf think the mecca would get quite a crowd.

you are completely right, not saying what they did was illegal or against rules. Simply saying, that I wish someone with that stature would remember they weren't always at that level. You do have a choice in life on how you want to act. They don't have to buy them and donate to people, they can simply just buy what they need. But I guess that $370 might cover their bottle of wine at Capital Grille before the game.

I have been a STH for 9 years, I have 30 points and did not get tickets and it's perfectly fair. If MU were to limit it to 1 ticket for each STH there still would not be enough tickets for everyone.
I'm actually surprised they didn't raise ticket prices for Oregon. They could have doubled prices and still had a sell-out.

I'm sorry? There's no way a scalper - regardless of race - has accumulated 750+ PP, even if he is a STH.
Hopefully this whole fiasco is just a one-off situation that will to the way of the NIT dodo. If not, I'll most assuredly have 75 PP next year.

Maybe the 750 point guy is where he is getting the tickets from.
I didn't get tickets but many MU Athletic Department tweets etc encouraging everyone that is going:
WEAR CHAMPIONSHIP BLUE.
Hoping for all fans to wear championship blue and to match the teams jersey colors.
STHs who obtained tickets and then are reselling for a huge markup are absolutely douches.

He's fine.
If he had said "men and girls", though....

STHs who obtained tickets and then are reselling for a huge markup are absolutely douches.
I have one student ticket. The rest of my family couldn't get them because they were sold out.
Am I a bad person if I sell it and pocket the $60 I could get on StubHub?

Is championship blue the dark blues or the light blues?
Edit: powder blues = championship blues

If you're legitimately a student and you agree to contribute $40 of the proceeds to the "buy Scoopers in attendance many bags of beef and cheddars" fund, then I think it's OK.

It's all about context, my friend.
Did they make up the color championship blue for some reason? Maybe I'm missing some historical context.
"Championship" Blue is the color we always lose in.
Very bad choice.
End of the NIT run. It's too weak of a color. Doesn't intimidate.

That's a totally legit expense.

I'm sorry? There's no way a scalper - regardless of race - has accumulated 750+ PP, even if he is a STH.
Hopefully this whole fiasco is just a one-off situation that will to the way of the NIT dodo. If not, I'll most assuredly have 75 PP next year.
It's been confirmed he's a scalper. He posted them on Craigslist with the same address he does for tons of other tickets.
Its not his account. He pays the STH for the right to buy his tickets to NIT, Wisky, Nova. Brian D does not have 750+ points.

I'm sure there are more than a few 750 point fans who firmly believe that the team should have turned down the NIT because it's an embarrassment, that anything short of a final four is a wasted season, that Wojo should be fired.
But they're not stupid financially--if they can buy at 20 and sell at 80, they'll take that deal all day.

If they really felt that way, they would not be 750 point fans. They would have not invested that amount of time and money for 15 years of disappointment.

Perhaps.... but I imagine most 750-pointers have probably gone senile by now, so who knows.

Exactly. Other than my free beer sweater vest, post-season is a big benefit for STH. Sucks for the youngins' but MU is about to ask me for a 40% increase next season. Bizness
I live out of state and just sold mine for cost but to sell at a profit is not totally douchebag in my opninion. There are many many games I eat the tickets due to lack of marketability.
We continue to buy our season tix as it's the right thing to do to support the school as we have done for 20 years

And I only wish I could have used them Hoops. Thanks again. You're a great Warrior.

Except, as pointed out above, it's not the STH doing this.
Now, I do place some blame on the STH for selling their Tix to a scalper
I have 2 extra general admission tickets. My wife and daughter are not going to go anymore. If anyone is interested, send me a message with you're email and I can transfer them to you.
Added 4 for sale in trading Post.
Question:
Can "bleacher seats" be brought into the Al?
I'm bringing my 85+year old dad, and a bleacher seat would probably help him enjoy the experience more....
'Thanks in advance if you know and post.

The seat back things you put in a bleacher? I don't know for sure but I don't see why not.
If you tweet or call the ticket office I'm sure they will let you know.

Saw people with them on Wednesday, so I assume yes but a call would be a smart move
