To the general public, 4p today. Season ticket holders have slotted windows based om B&G points in increments beginning at 9a.
-
Gah I gotta wait till 3. Oh well I'm sure there will be a few left.
-
How much?

I didn't get the email. Can you paste it?
Mine went into my "promotions" folder in my email and not my "primary".
You might want to check there.

I just checked again. Not there. :-\

I'm not part of the early group but I saw the link on gomarquette last night for the tickets that would be available at 4pm. I checked this morning and that link is gone. Not sure what that means.
If I can't get them at 4 maybe they'll be sold third party...?
-
Does anyone know if there is a ticket limit?
-
The reserved seating, essentially the lower part with actual chairs / seat backs are $15.. The upper level, with bench seating are $10.... 8-)
I Heard 8 ticket limit
-
assuming we beat the UW of the North East, when will we find out the date/time for the 2nd round game?
-
To the general public, 4p today. Season ticket holders have slotted windows based om B&G points in increments beginning at 9a.
Where did you see about the slotted windows based on points? I got the e-mail like OldGym posted above but nothing after that.
I called but couldn't get through and the ticket link is no longer showing up in My Marquette Account. I assume that my window isn't open yet.

Gah I gotta wait till 3. Oh well I'm sure there will be a few left.
I would be shocked if there aren't still plenty tickets at 3:00. Students out of town, lots of bitterness among some fans, short turnaround. I wouldn't sweat it....
-

Thanks. For that price, might come down if a second-round game vs. Oregon is on a weekend.
-
I am willing to wager a large sum that the ticket price is going to drop significantly; there's so much spite for the NIT selection, a Wednesday game, played in a small gym against a bunch of book nerds... there's no way that the Al is going to be close to being sold out today.
The real winners are going to be those who hold off on purchasing... especially those with 0-74 priority points who don't try to buy tickets right away at 3:00pm. IMO, 99.9% chance that if prices are going to drop, it will be at 3:10pm, in which case, that should be the point everyone jumps in to buy tix.
EDIT: 3:10pm. That when everyone else should buy tickets. 3:10pm.

Maybe, but $15 feels like a bargain to me and I'm in that 0-74 range (49 points). I'll take whatever is available at my slot and feel like I'm getting off cheap.

Here's hoping. Definitely enjoy the atmosphere of a packed Al and don't wanna miss this one. Tournament basketball is still tournament basketball regardless of which one.

Ticket office has confirmed 8 ticket limit. $15 reserved, $10 general admission bleachers.
-
I am in the 11:00 group with 200+ points. When I ordered online through my account, there was a 6 ticket maximum purchase. I bought 6 with chairbacks, lower level, section 115, row F.

Anyone know if the Al has the same ticket policy as Bradley Center, Kids under 2 don't need a ticket?

It'll probably be close to a sellout due to the small stadium size, I believe you can get them in for free, however they will have to sit on your lap the entire game.
-
Ummm .. Just tried it at 1pm .. apparently all that's left is general admission?
Or is something broken?
Anyone know what the different Gen Adm sections are all about? GA4 GA5? Row G00? G01?

I think those numbers are meaningless. You can sit anywhere with General Admission tickets.

same here better not be ticket brokers
-
I'd signed in to the ticket portal a few minutes early and saw I could buy tickets even before my set time ..
But now that makes sense. The lowers were all sold to the higher point total people .. so no reason not to let everyone buy the GA tickets "early" since the higher point benefit is now gone.
Well, that sucks. Was interested in good seats.

Now 4 ticket limit
-
Same here.
Perspective people. Any seat in the Al is just as good as, if not better than, the vast majority of seats in the lower bowl of the BC.
And they are ten bucks.
-
Hopefully they last until 4.
-
Can somebody post the link to tickets? I logged in, not seeing it as an option.
-
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but is there anything more info on the second round, other than the game will be March 16-19?

Nope. You are waiting on ESPN.

I'll be super disappointed if I see a bunch of lowers on sale on Stubhub later today for 40+

Probably should have been a 2 or 4 ticket limit from the start. 8 ticket limit in a 4000 seat gym is absolutely ridiculous.

Go into your My Marquette account and under "Single Game Tickets and Plans", there is a "click here to buy" link.

Right now it’s just Lacrosse and a kids club promotion. Probably have to wait for 3 pm.
-
I am still seeing a 6 ticket max.
I do wonder if the numbers on the page have anything to do with how many GA tickets have been sold. The numbers have been going up:
Section GA5
Row G00
Seat 336 - 339
.. So maybe 336 tickets have been sold in GA? If so .. long way to the ~2400 GA seats.
-
Yeah I think there are at least 2000 GA tickets left....really disappointed I didn't get the nice seats but probably just as well as #nored probably would have stormed the court and demanded to play.

Hard to say. Alabama A&M did not sell-out.

I will be PO'd as well. I will make a few phone calls if that happens. 8 tix limit is STUPID ! ! !
Its still at 4 tix limit as of this time
-

.. Very odd, it was, and still is 6 maximum for me. Wonder why it would be different per user?

6 max for me at 3 PM.
418-423
Or
456-461
-
I don't think row or seat number matters for GA tickets. Maybe the section (GA5 and GA6 were my two "options") matters, but hey, any seat in the Al is going to be better than what us peasants have access to at the BC.
Oh yeah.... everyone can go ahead and buy their tickets now. I got my 6.
-
What do the seats mean? Is it just seat yourself? I wasn't assigned a row or section.

Sit wherever you like unless you see a bearded man and a 2 year old who tells you to be quiet because he's watching the game....I'd advise moving on down the bench.
-
sold out exactly at 3:01. wouldn't let me check out with my tickets. so pissed.
-
Got my seats at 3:00. GA 6&7 were still available. Apparently gone now. Was able to get 4.
-
Website says sold out for me as well. Trying to call but I doubt I'll get through with the high volume of calls.
-
Ridiculous they were allowing people to snatch up 8 at a time...

Secondary market will have tickets....likely the rich getting richer (long time season ticket holders buying more than they need and then selling to brokers).
-
I was in at 3pm, but nothing showed up in my account until 3:01. To say I am pissed would be an understatement.
MU should do some sort of lottery...ATTEND 'x' # of games, and you get in.
I even attended their UW-Milwaukee game.
Leave those fair weather fans on the street.

If you got locked out... keep trying for another 10-15 minutes as the "Tickets being held in carts" empty out.
-
Just got off the phone with them. Sold out but they are taking names and numbers incase people "return" any of their multiples they bought but did not need.

Didnt get one. Can't wait to see them for sale for 50 bucks each and the place being 3/4 filled >:(

I'm fine with STH's scalping to brokers for regular season games or anything at the BC. Not for post-season or anything at the Al, however. At most, you should only be able to buy as many seats as you had season tickets on the year. Sweater Vest Wilbur and his wife Gretel shouldn't be able to buy 8 tickets for all their "friends and well-wishers" if they only had 2 tickets on the year... I don't care if they were sitting in Section 200, courtside, or on Joey's lap. What high-$ donor is going to be pissed that he/she couldn't get 8 tickets when they only had 2 season tickets?
Complete shiite that they're sold out at 3:01p

Stub Hub has 4 in GA5 for $25 ea. SO there you have it.
-
Guess I'm SOL.
-
I do feel bad for the ticket office. Just remember if you do call to be put on the waitlist It's not their fault someone in the administration made that head scratching decision.
Had to remind myself that a couple of times before someone picked up the phone.
-
I think the general admission is annoying Why can they not all be reserved?? It will be hard enough to leave work, pick up my kids and get there by 6.

I wish they were able to do something vs the scalpers. At least should have limited it to the # of season tickets you own. Then at 4 allow people to buy more.

In looking at the seating chart, Section 110 is GA. For the Alabama A&M game, those were reserved seats.

Sold out? Seriously????
-
I can't imagine that someone who shells out 5 figures for season tickets every season is going to bother loading up on extra NIT tickets so that he can score a $50 profit on Stubhub. My guess is that those of you who blame that for the early sellout are wrong.
And if they bought a couple extra to take a grandkid or friend, more power to them. That's a pretty minor perk in my book. Why shouldn't a strong, consistent supporter be able to do that?

They're already getting first crack at them. With reduced capacity I think there should have been a 4 per account limit.

Thanks for not piling on, Sir Wilbur.
I wish you well at the game on Wednesday.
Hint hint.

To the ADept's credit, at least they turned off the "Resale" function on the GoMarquette account pages. Can only print and transfer tickets.

I don't know that it was specifically to re-post the tickets on the secondary market, but if the tickets are $10/$25 a piece and you're used to paying around $50 each, a consumer - especially a deep-pocketed but cheap-at-heart sweater vest - is going to be more inclined to buy a surplus amount of tickets, even if he/she has no clear plan in mind for the extras (i.e. buy them now, figure out what to do with them later). The very limited window to buy tickets (FOMO) would also influence this.
In other words, for every 1 person who bought intending to resell for profit, there were probably 25 people buying extras with no clear intent for them.
-
Pretty sure they just did exactly that...

Maybe they read all the posts on Scoop about how no one was going to show up for the game, and that even being in the NIT is a disgrace, and figured they should sell as many as they could while they had the opportunity.

Good point. The lack of an Arby's voucher was almost a dealbreaker for me.

$60 for a single ticket is a ridiculous asking price. No way are they getting anything close to that.
-

Wojo wanted only the "real fans" to show up.
As to the 8, they limited the A&M game and no one bought. They should have limited the Harvard game to 4 in retrospect but you can't blame them with the students off. They also should upped the price though to control the supply.
That said, I grabbed six. I should have grabbed 8 and sold them to one of you wonks for $75 each plus my seat donation.
-

I would bet they we will sell it for $60. Seems to be plenty of demand, and not enough supply...
-

And it's a GA seat. The people shelling out 5 figures for season tix probably got in early enough to get reserved lowers.
If we see any reserved lowers on StubHub, that would be annoying.
-

There was 20.
-
StubHub also shows Bradley center... folks buying there might be surprised.
-
Some local Haavaad alum will probably be willing to pay $60. Although they probably could not be baathed to sit with the unwashed in "general admission".
Use the voice of the late David Ogden Stiers aka Charles Emerson Winchester III when reading..."A Haavaad man does not sit in general admission"
-
If demand really is this high any chance future rounds move to the MECCA or BC?
Even 7,000 would look bad in those venues.
-
There was 20.
what were they going for? The $60 GA ticket is the only one showing presently....
-
$60 for a single ticket is a ridiculous asking price. No way are they getting anything close to that.
I wouldn’t be so sure. There is exactly currently one ticket on stubhub. Prolly could get $100 if it remains the only one for sale.
-
The way its always been at the Al.
here has only been one other mens game there and everything was reserved
-
This will be the largest crowd ever to watch a game at The Al. Test run for an arena at 6th and Michigan? ;)
-
I managed to snag a free ticket as a student. I got an email this afternoon that students could get one free ticket (paid for by Wojo apparently). First 500 students only.
The perks of going back to grad school

No way!

The Alabama A&M game was $40 lower and $20 upper. Didn't sell out. Marquette wanted a sell out on ESPN2.
-
In the defense of the ticket office, I'm sure they underestimated the interest in tickets. Outside of the students, there appears to be about a core of 6,000 of us "die-hards" who attend about 80-90% of games.
The last NIT game drew about 4000K, too.
In terms of available venues, and any rent associated, I'm sure 4000 seats sold with no rent, is more profitable to 7000 with rent at the BC or Arena. I just wish that allowed more of us to buy tickets. Now, I need to work a little harder to get in.

It does seem the only mistake they made was in allowing 8 early on. I have no problem with 'cheap' and I really don't have a problem with all the tickets being consumed by STH. But when a significant number of STHs were shut out because high B&G point holders could buy more than their existing package by a significant amount, that's a bit of a miscalculation. I suspect they will tweak for Round #2.

Do you believe Marquette has ever done anything wrong, incorrect or unfavorable?
Slurpy.

Plenty. But not in this case.

Marquette sold out before tickets went on sale to the general public, when most, if not all said it had no chance to sell out. Bravo to the ticket office or scoop is out of touch with the rest of the fanbase.

Gretel and I only bought two. We have a few friends, but can't say we have any well wishers.

Just be some kinda former season ticket holder of the game perk. Or some $hit.

Yes

Take the lowest attendance number we had this year. That will be pretty close to the number of season ticket holders.

Not including the students. 8000.

Well...someone is looking to pay rent at FREAKING $250 a pop for section 115 row C, LOL!
That @$$clown has since lowered his price to $225, what a tool!
The MU ticket office should find out who bought:
Section 115, Row C, Seats 3-6
And, revoke his SEASON TICKETS!
-
So if I bought the section 115 went to the game then asked for a refund since they labeled the wrong venue. Can I?
-
And now there are some GA tix for $124 each too.
Pretty sad.
-
MU STHs exploiting MU fans with these prices....sad.
-
Shoulda jumped on the $25 ones I saw posted earlier.

From what I can see, you could get NCAA tickets for cheaper everywhere except (oddly) Boise.
-
Row C down to $199.
It’s not going to be too difficult to figure out who the d-bag is.... he’ll be sitting in seats 1-2 or 7-8.

Unless the system allowed them to split the seats by just selecting any 8 that were available. Then he may be sitting somewhere else. Or worse, maybe he just bought tickets to resell, and isn't even going to the game.
In any event, it's really sad.
-
Probably a student whose parents have season tickets. Trying to make a few bucks.

MU’s limit was 6 when I got in, probably should have been limit 4. Not the end of the world.
This is a simple supply vs demand equation. Do people really believe 20-30 ga tix appearing on stubhub caused a premature sell-out of a venue of 3500... when there is a STH fanbase probably 3x that size? I thought our fanbase was more educated and less emotional than that.
The person asking $200 a seat is obviously priced way too high (it’s the NIT), but it is what it is. The market will dictate their sale price. The same people asking to revoke their tix probably also sell extra Badger tickets every two years... can’t have it both ways just because you were on the other side of the coin this time.

I'm mainly upset because I love Marquette basketball and had the mobile season etickets that would change every game, but not an official season ticket holder so I had basically no chance from the getgo. Just seems that some people who exploited the 6-8 ticket limit aren't simply interested in the game itself, but also making (alot of) money on people who legitimately want to attend. You can talk down at all of us non-STH but just consider yourself lucky to be able to get tickets without forking over an arm and a leg.
Supply/demand makes sense, but this situation is sort of ridiculous. I know people are boohooing the idea of playing in a bigger venue, but I really think they would have had a good showing in the panther arena IMO, contract and availability issues aside. I'll be watching on tv at least.

Your heart’s in the right place, but the logic isn’t there to play at US Cellular. Half the reason people want to go is because it’s a meaningful game at our small on-campus arena.
Not looking down at non-STH at all, and fairly certain the sentiment is the other way in this thread. There’s a lot of animosity against people who donate and pay premium already for access to tickets due to the fact the game is being played at a small arena. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. Or use some of the extra $2k you save per year by paying secondary price for tickets.
-
Has anyone on the waiting list actually got tickets?
-
I'm not entirely sure I'm following you wardle. I think most folks think it's completely fair and appropriate that STHs had first dibs based on B&G points. But I also think that many folks believe that MU might have made a mistake in allowing an initial cap of 8 per account, double what anyone's STH package actually is. Look, it's a tough call. No doubt MU was most interested in filling the AL and figured their most dedicated, loyal fans would make sure that happens. I do think that anyone aggressively scalping is taking advantage of the situation in an inappropriate way. We're not about some random pool of ticket buyers but rather one's fellow STHs.
I have seen a few folks mention (and complain) that no tickets were available for mini-pack holders. I have a solution for them.
-
Due to a change in plans, I'm now looking for 1 GA ticket (I already got 2). I saw tix listed at $80-100 on the secondary market. Seriously?! Anyone seeing anything cheaper? Think I could snag one from a scalper outside the game for 10 bucks?
-
The limit should have been based on how many season tickets you have. If someone is willing to shell out for 8 season tickets, then by all means get 8 tickets to the NIT game. If you only have 2 season tickets you should be limited to 2 initially, and then have the chance to pick up more when they're released to the general public.

In retrospect, yes, but given that the last two Men's games played in the Al were not sellouts, I can't say I blame the PTB for prioritizing gross sales to super-dedicated fans over relative parity.
-
As a rule, I am willing pay fair scalper pricing for any event I want to attend. Since giving up my STH for MU, I have overpaid for very good seats for every game I have attended, home or away. My main interest in attending the NIT was because of location and time of game. I was buyer at face value and now would only go with freebie's.
I love the nature of scalpers and people making a buck, but this is one case that I hope they get burned. In addition, if anyone pays a nickel over face, they have way too much money and should consider donating to charity before attending the game.

If I pay face value to watch a team that I love, I should donate to charity instead?
Not trying to be snarky just making sure I understand what you're saying.

Meant a nickel over face. You can pay $2k for a ticket and I could not care less, but I feel paying over face for an NIT game is a waste. Just my thoughts, eagle. Knock your socks off at the tilt!!

Again, the limit actually was 6 tix online. I was in the earliest timeslot (9am), and it said limit 6 (I didn’t buy 6). I know 8 tix limit was communicated, but that was not the case online. Would love to hear of anyone being able to buy 8 tix.
For those saying that the limit should have been equalt to # of STH tix, I believe that couldn’t happen due to complexity on IT side. I don’t think their system is currently programmed to work that way, and MU would have to create a table with everyone’s ticket limit and then have the TM system query off that. It’s just much easier to administer online with a cap (i.e. 2, 4, or 6).

I agree with this. But IMHO a limit of 4 tix (even if you only have 2 or 3 season tix) probably would have met the goal of selling out. 6 or 8 seems unnecessarily high...especially for someone with only 2 or 3 season tix.
-
The ability to buy 8 tickets did not exist. The max was 6.
Please stop saying the STHs were able to buy 8 tickets. They weren’t.
-
I said early if someone pays over face value, they have to too much money. I am going one step further, if any STH bought, or tried to buy 8 tickets, they have way, way too much money, and possibly other issues in life.

IF sticket = 4 then Nticketmax = 4
elseif sticket = 3 then Nticketmax = 3
elseif sticket = 2 then Nticketmax = 2
elseif sticket = 1 then Nticketmax = 1
Honestly its probably easier if the ticket lotto is done on html 5.

If you believe that being able to spend $120 for you and seven of your closest friends/family members can sit in great seats to watch your favorite team in a tournament, is having "way, way too much money" you are the one with the issues, my friend. ;)

How about if they have a family of four and four friends at $15/10 per ticket is pretty cheap. ;)

Warriorchick
I applaud your popularity. I would have hard time getting seven people to attend (on my dime) the Butler game in Jan. with three weeks notice. If you can have seven close friends/family members join you for an NIT game at the girls gym on two day notice, you must be a very, very nice woman. Have to admit, I am jealous. I asked two of my son's and my wife (all MU fans) and had three "thanks, but no thanks". I actually was pleased because it saved me $150.00 at Elsa's before or after the game.

But they've had since February 24th to figure it out.

Hopefully we play Oregon and I can get another chance to try and scoop some up.
UWM Panther Arena/MECCA/US Cellular/BC Jr./small bowl full of sports stuff has a capacity of 12.7k. I would be curious what would be an acceptable minimum attendance for that venue and if a game against ORE would help? 9k? Some have said we have 7k+ STH. That's doable right?

I'm going to beat a dead horse here, but when I texted the ticket office at 10:28am yesterday asking what the ticket limit was, they replied 8. Someone in the office was obviously wrong, but that's where that number came from. I agree that after we win tomorrow night, the limit should be lowered to 4.

Not to mention extremely patronizing.
I would love to see you refer to the Al as the "girls gym" to the women's basketball team. You would be grateful that they are ladies, and I mean that in the manners sense.
-
Warriorchick
I have been a proud supporter of the lady Warriors for over 40 years. My next door neighbor was women's coach, AD and volleyball coach for many years. I worked the scoreboard and did audio for women's games for several years. In addition, my daughter played on the MU women's soccer team. For the record, the girl's gym is actually a family joke with my daughter.
I can assure you, if I am going to patronize, it sure as hell would be something bigger than calling The Al a girl's gym.

Thanks. What I remember is that they added some seats at places where the row was no longer needed and access could be provided another way. What I also seem to remember is that those new seats were a red cloth in contrast to the 'pleather' seats that remained. Obviously that's all been redone in the decades since.

Just a heads up for those attending tomorrow evening: parking will be tight. I recommend street parking and hoof it in.
From the ticket office:
MU Set To Host NIT Game
#MUBB vs. Harvard
Wednesday, March 14 - 6:00 p.m. CT
Al McGuire Center
We encourage you to arrive early to tomorrow’s game as parking will be limited in and around campus. We expect the lines to be long to enter the parking garage for those arriving shortly before game time. In advance of the game we wanted to provide you a few details to ensure your game day experience is a great one!
Where: Al McGuire Center, 770 N. 12th St.
When: Game tips at 6 p.m. Doors open to the arena at 5 p.m.
Tickets: Please have your tickets printed before you arrive and have them out ready to scan as you enter the arena.
Parking: Parking is available on a first come, first served basis for $10 cash per car in the Wells Street Parking Structure located at 1240 W. Wells St. Access into the structure is available via the entrances at both Wells and Kilbourn Streets. Cash is the only accepted method of payment in the Wells Street Parking Structure for this event. We also would encourage carpooling to the game or utilizing shared ride services such as Uber.
-
11,052 if I remember correctly.
I searched on bing and 12.7k was the first thing to come up but that's probably max capacity then given all the other links posted.
With under 11k for basketball games I'm even more convinced that this is the best venue for a game against Oregon. Don't understand why people are "surprised" that the Harvard game was a sellout. Just don't get it. Tournament bball is tournament bball and people show up.
-
YES I DO.

OMG - I remembered that too! And before checking I'm gonna say 10,746 before that (and come back and edit if I'm wrong).

Yep. We've had some really nice years under KO, TC and Buzz, but it was simply a different level under Al.
Remembering Owens give the official attendance wasn't that hard given that it was the same (sellout) game after game after game. When he would start to make the announcement, my brothers and I would actually announce the number with him. Guess that's part of the reason the various capacities have stuck with me for all those years.
I'd have to guess the exact capacity of the BMO. Closest I can get without looking is that it's closer to 19K than 18K. And I have no clue if it has changed over the years.
