Title: Chicago Invite....Anyone Goin?
Post by: Dish on June 19, 2008, 04:26:07 PM
I picked up two quality seats for both games. Tickets aren't exactly flying off the shelf for this event, as I just checked out availability, and it's still wide open.

Anyone else going or thinking of going? Sears Centre is only 10 mins from my house, so pretty easy commute Thanksgiving weekend for me.

My house is about 15 mins away, so I am planning on picking up tickets for the weekend.  But as you said, they aren't flying off the shelf...so im not going to spend the money quite yet!

I'll be there...bought tickets but have no idea where they are....they don't show a basketball setup and don't list the sections on any of the programed seating arrangements.....

Bought tickets last week for the family-- husband, self and daughter (MU 2010).  MUUWUWM: There is a specific seating chart for the tourney on the Sears Centre site-- I think it is a link on the page that comes up early in the ticket purchase process.

The tickets I bought don't correspond to any of the sections  that they show on the seating charts on the Sears site.

I  hope I am in a MU section.

If not on the second night I'll bring the brass knuckles.

We bought ours online in our season ticket account.  The seats will be assigned later according to the ticket office, but we should be sitting in a group

A friend of mine from work is best friends with someone from Dayton's athletic department.

He knows a guy who knows a guy that will get us the best seats in the house.

The best seats in the house are available for sale.  Don't buy through the Marquette season ticket holders.

The day they went on sale, I bought second row, center court, on the floor.

Just call up the sears center box office and they will help you out.

I purchased mine on line the day they were suppose to go on sale through the MU season holder ticket site. However, the link there took me to ticketmaster. I assumed I would be sitting with other MU fans. However, I got my actual seats assigned, which is different than the post above. So maybe I am not specifically with the MU group. I did not check were my seats are at, but I am in Section GA101, Row 1, seat 3 & 4.

So then, the pre-game and post-game parties are at MUDish and robmufan's digs? And, if bilsu and MUUWUWM are trying to arrange a hook-up, please do it outside of this forum ;D

4everwarrior...taking a flying leap off whatever toadstool your sitting on.
Its not like we hijacked the thread.
I believe it asked who's all going and if anyone wants to get together what concern is it of yours.

bilsu yeppers remember meeting you also.
I believe it was Hegartys.

i will be there sitting in the 5th row center court club seats. after three years of battling for seats in the student section at the BC, it will be nice pretending to be one of you high roller alumni for a night.

Hoffman Estates?  Do they even have paved roads that far out?  I guess a wknd in the country might be nice & relaxing.   Might have to pound some Red Bulls to stay awake all the way out there...we need a game at the UC
