Penn State Game Tickets

[Strokin 3s]

Any MU scooper here bold enough to admit they bought tickets and have them up on StubHub?  Just curious if anyone has the balls.

[peterpan]

They aren't on scoop. Most likely guys who buy the cheapest possible season tickets for like $100 for all games in the very last row. That gets them access to buy (and resell) tickets on the ticket exchange during the season and events like this. F'n parasites.

I got a student ticket for Oregon, then couldn't find anyone else with a ticket to go with me, so I sold it.  I was gonna use the $ to buy a ticket in South Bend, but that didn't happen.

I got a student ticket again for Tuesday, but I'll be there this time.

[MUWarrior4Life]

Once again,  by the time 3pm came, sold out. SMH just pitiful

[Anti-Dentite]

Seriously, there are 3700 seats, what did you expect?

Same here.  If there is anyone with a single ticket available for purchase, I would happily take it off your hands.

People in the $100 seats didn't get a chance to buy these tickets. I can't imagine anyone with 75 points or more sitting in those.

Ummm yeah. Peterpan is way waaay wrong.

I'm
One of those $100 a season seats guys because I'm a new grad and have student loans to pay off. And my time slot was 3pm with a Whopping 13 points. So maybe chill on us low life new grads. How about pointing the finger at the likely culprits who got actual seats in the 9a-11a time slot.

Is it a bummer you (and I and many others for that matter) didn't get tickets? Yup it sucks.

But don't go pointing fingers at the newgrad STH's.

Yep.  And thanks for staying engaged.  Your time will come!  I do think they could have limited it to 4 tickets initially but that's splitting hairs.

In this iteration, LOTS of 75+ point folks didn't get any.  Great to be playing March hoops!

As a season ticket holder, I expect to at least have a shot at getting 1 ticket. If U wanted 2 know, jeez

And it's not just the $100 ticket holders that didn't get a chance. I've been a STH for 8 years and am in donation-required lower level seats with 49 points. I didn't get a chance to buy for PSU, so it's pretty safe to say no one in the minimums got that chance unless they've been in those seats since the Eddie Hickey days.

Why?  Should you have the right to get one of my two?  Now I will say that limiting it to the number of STHs one has is a legitimate position.  But we heard that was logistically difficult.  At least they lowered the cap to 4.

The way they handled this was fine. I wanted to get tickets, but they laid out how it would be handled. I did have significant issues with them opening the 3:00 purchasing window early on Thursday, but I always knew I might not get seats to some of these. As I rewatch the Oregon game, I'm debating how much tickets tonight are worth to me.

Yep, a couple tweaks but overall handled quite well.  Hope to see you there tonight!

So if you have 2 season tickets, those 2 extra if U got them are not accessible to me? Logistically difficult? This is 2018, I would think there is a way to handle this type of scenario, but I digress. Enjoy the game!!!

It will be a moot point going forward, anyway.

Next year and afterwards, you will just have to fight the high-point folks for the good seats in the designated Marquette section at the NCAA.

I posted this in the other thread, but it bears repeating.

By 11am the ~1000 lower bowl (non-student) seats were not available for 200+ point holders, who could only get GA tickets at that time.  This was not the case for the previous 2 games.  (Where the max was 6, no less.)

That means the 9-11am slot took all 1000.  (or not.)  How many 750+ point accounts are there?  I have a sheet from the reseating in 2014 that showed there were 60.  Let's say that's grown to 100 and all of them took the max 4 .. but that would only take up 400 of the 1000 seats.

So .. something seems screwy.   Like ~500 seats are missing and it pushed everyone down the totem pole, and 500 STHs out of the building.

[brewcity77]

It will be very interesting to see who's in those seats. Wojo bought what, 500 seats for each of the first two games to give to students? Is it possible he doubled that for the PSU game to get as raucous an environment close to the court as possible? Does anyone know how many student seats were available or if any students got seats in the chairback sections?

[PistolBrad]

Wojo gave out 750 tickets for the Penn State game FYI

[MUBBau]

Doesn't he know there are STH that deserve those tickets more than students?!?

[brewcity77]

Were any of them reserved or were they the end zones and GA?

I have 2 theories.
A. Marquette will have a full ring student section for this game.
B. They sold the tickets to some organization.

I really hope it's a.

Agree totally.  We'll report back tonight.  Now lots of folks (chick included) got the initial 'Sold Out' message only to be able to get GAs with a simple refresh.  So I wonder it that had something to do with it.  Let's sincerely hope they got all 3700 distributed.

[jesmu84]

Again, if STHs and students are missing out because some a-hole wants to make a buck on stubhub, that's freaking obnoxious.

The guy currently selling 2 GA tickets for 185 each is the scummiest of scum.
