MSP ---> NYC (area)

Let's share a room (nh)

I'm down. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'll be there. The future Mrs. TAMU is from Long Island so the sell was pretty easy.

You buy tickets already, plan to later, or think you can just scalp them once there? 

[fjm]

How much are tickets for the Outdoor White Tshirt practice?

Will probably go with whatever deal Marquette ends up offering.

Don't.  There will be plenty of good seats available.   Paying even face value for these pre-conf tourneys in NYC is usually not necessary.

This would be my first time doing something like this - how far in advance does Marquette usually release their packages/deal?

Thanks in advance for the info.

Oh, you will be.

You can get them on Stub Hub for peanuts, and usually good seats. I went to the event in Brooklyn last year for $10 a ticket and then moved down right behind our bench.

Noted, I will just do that then.  Good seats are like $150 a pop right now.

If you are going to stay outside the city, You can get a reasonably priced room (by NY standards) at the Crowne Plaza in White Plains and the Metro North trains which you can walk to run Continuously into Grand Central. There are also some hotels like Hampton Inns near Laguardia airport if you book early enough you can get similar rates.

Yeah, but Michigan travels well.

Yeah, I paid $50/apiece for Brooklyn and almost immediately wish I had done what you did. It was my first time going to an MU in-season tournament and I wanted to make sure I got to sit with the Marquette crowd. I won't make that mistake again!

Look at it this way , You had a great time and we won.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Only Holiday tournament that one has to pay full price is Maui.

[BM1090]

Wish it were Thanksgiving week. Just won't have the vacation time to do it. Otherwise I'd be there.

Trying to talk the wife into it, but she's going to NYC next month with friends and already agreed to go out to Annapolis for Vanderbilt. Two MU trips in two weeks might be a bit much.

Tell Her there are great sales on the latest designer boots that week just down the street from the garden. Wife +shoes= good things for husband

Paying full price is for suckers.  Even in Hawaii.

May be true for 2017, but not true with the UNC leisure suiters last time who drove up the prices for all session tickets so they could secure their seats for the Heels game (or the Dookies before that).  2017 has more football schools in lineup over Thanksgiving, including the Domers. 

MU fans prefer the one and done game to get back to their Coconut Porters.
