3 of us in section 105!
Ohio sucks
I'm in with my son. Section 207.
Can't make Friday but will be there Sunday if we win.
What is the price?
I'll be there...Ohio resident here.
I attended the Columbus games (both of them) 2 years ago....and went to the Colorado win in Indy last year.
We're in Section M105 (mezzanine) toward the corner. Got them for about $175 each (before the astronomical fees are tacked on).
Can't wait to hear what the MU hotel is for pregame activities.

Looking at tickets. Cleveland is fun; have casino downtown, great restaurants n bars close to arena, and rock & roll hall of fame. Been there a few times.
We were there in Cleveland the Year Marquette beat Xavier and Syracuse to advance to Sweet 16. Ran into Syracuse Grad Mike Tirico and his family walking back to Hotel from Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. He was very nice and personable. Awesome Wins! We are going back again. Where is the Marquette Hotel and pregame festivities

I'm
guessing that the team is staying at Marriott's Hotel Cleveland (24 Public Square) since that is where the Mass is.
The MU Alumni Association has posted the calendar of events (https://alumni.marquette.edu/2025-mens-ncaa-tournament) for Cleveland. Assuming it's Hotel Cleveland, that's on Public Square which is just a couple blocks from the arena. The pre-game event(s) are at House of Blues which also is a couple blocks from the arena.
I've lived in Cleveland for nearly 35 years now...so I may be able to provide some insights.
Anyone have insights on tickets? Thinking of buying day of because I've heard that's when corporate tickets get released and flood the supply to bring the prices down a bit. But I don't want to get stuck paying an arm and a leg if that's not the case.

If you don't yet have tickets, and you don't really mind exactly where you sit, wait for the day of.

That's fine with me. I was able to be plenty loud and obnoxious in the last row of Gainbridge the previous year for the WKU game.

I did the pregame in NYC for the championship. I will never be doing that again lol.

As far as ticket prices go, it's kind of a bummer that we're in the same session with Michigan State. The tickets for the afternoon session are less than half the price as the evening session. Alabama, St. Mary's, Vanderbilt, and Robert Morris aren't going to have near the crowds in Cleveland as MSU (and, to a lesser extent, MU).
We look forward to seeing you this week when Marquette University marches to Cleveland for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament!

I've been to that event at Mustang Harry's a few times. When the crowds are under control, it's a fantastic event. But when they're not...yeah...it kind of sucks. I really hope MU has enough space at House of Blues to make the event worthwhile.

You should host your own pregame where $20 gets you a BORG!

To be fair, MSU probably said the same about us two years ago. It's just the revenge.

Didn't this used to have an open bar too? Now it says "cash bar"....gotta cut costs I guess....not worth the $50 per person (even if a portion of it is a donation to the school)
.
Anyone know if there's an official MU bar for this weekend in Cleveland (other than the school's pregame reception at the House of Blues)?
I know in Columbus 2 years ago they had assigned "official bars" downtown for every team in town that weekend.
Don't know if there was something similar in Indy last year or not.

Not sure the bar, but I'm ready to set the river on fire again if we make the s16

Tickets acquired! Four seats in Section 114 Row 5 for $120 each. Was going to wait longer but decided to just pull the trigger.
Our group is heading to Flannery's Pub for pregame. My Cleveland friends say it's a good spot for Cavs and Guardian games and sound like other MU fans might be there as well.

Everyone knows you can't spell Guardians without GARD. Gets it done.

Good to know. See you at Flannery's!
Sounds like MUBB is staying at the Intercontinental Hotel (9801 Carnegie). Really nice hotel. Really unfortunate location for the send off. I thought they were right downtown where the Mass is going to be (Marriott Hotel Cleveland) which is walking distance to the pregame party and arena. The Intercontinental is not walking distance to downtown. That sucks (for the fans - it might be preferable for the team). I'll be skipping the send off.
Anyone know if MU picks the hotels? Or does the NCAA do it?
Any of you in the arena recognize the refs?
