Title: tickets for big East tournament
Post by: BCHoopster on January 06, 2020, 11:38:29 AM
I might be in New York, when the tournament is playing, you can buy tickets right now thru MU till January 31, like $600 a ticket.  The one problem
of course is that MU may get to play one game on the 12th, figure they will not play on 11th (but might), lose that one on the 12th which might
make you getting stuck with tickets on the 13th and 14th.  I am staying in Morristown, NJ so it is not like I would be coming to sell them on the street.  Any ideas, wait, buy that day outside, online?  Thoughts?  Advise, thanks.

I'd personally recommend getting them at the game outside right before tipoff. I did that last year and sat center court in the lower for like $80 a ticket for both games. I was running late so I didn't have much time but I'm sure I could have gotten a better deal. Lots of tickets around. Just keep in mind though that you're buying a piece of paper from some guy on the street so there's always a bit of a risk.

We did stubhub last year on a game by game basis. People who bought their team's tickets are usually looking to sell once their team loses.

Also be careful because the NYPD aggressively cracks down on ticket scalpers outside the Garden (Knicks, Rangers, concerts, etc). Frankly I've always had the best luck buying tickets from fans of a losing school as they are on their way out after a loss.

Buy tickets right before the game at the StubHub kiosk. It's maybe 10-15 minutes from MSG & prices drop like a rock in the hours before the tip. No worry about NYPD that way either.

We played seton hall last year on Friday night, the 2nd game of the night session. I bought tickets on the secondary market (Gametime I think) on Friday for probably about $50ish all in per ticket. I bought cheap upper level seats and moved down to about the 10th row on the sideline in the lower bowl. Usually plenty of ppl leave after the 1st game of each session, especially at night.
