Thanks to an MUScooper, I have 4 tickets for myself, and 4 for my wife's MU roommate. 

I explained they were going for $150 on StubHub, so if I let her have them for $10, she owed me $140 of extreme fan insanity.  $140 of screaming and foot stomping.  When the ref makes a call against us, people should have to refrain her from assaulting the refs.

She agreed.

The "Trail of Tears" in the Trading Post of hardcore MU hoops fans without tickets is sad...especially in light of the Stub Hub activity. As stated, it will be interesting what MU did to expand the student ring.

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

I'm not standing up for the guy, but it takes two to tango.  So just as scummy is the person who buys them for $185.  Otherwise, the price would drop to more reasonable levels.

I'll admit that I was one of the StubHubbers on Sunday... I had two extras and needed to offload when someone backed out on me Sunday morning, so I put them up for $40/ea (partially in anticipation that I was going to get shut out at the box office for tonight and have to purchase off StubHub myself).... the listing lasted all of 5 minutes, which I'll also admit made me feel quite dumb insomuch that I likely just sold to a scalper who was going to turn around and sell them for $60+ on the street.

Cheapest tix I saw on StubHub yesterday were $75, but those are long gone.  If it's any concession, I'm not paying $100/ticket even though I'm gearing up to drop $400 x (2 + the quantity of offspring who can sit in their goddamn seats for a whole game) on a plane ticket to NYC in 12 hours.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

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.

The 750+ window also included preferred STH's (who drop $3000+ each on their seat donations)... that's basically everyone courtside and behind the bench/score table; something like 200-300 seats right there, probably a good mix of 2's and 4's (so say on average 3 per account), that's another 65-100 accounts right there in the 750+ window.

I would estimate 95% of the preferred accounts bought the max (why the hell pay that much for preferred if you're not going to buy tickets to which you're entitled)... so that's 250-500 seats spoken for right there on top of the 400 you're earmarking for the straight-up 750-pointers.

There are 6 GA tickets available on StubHub for $65/each right now, if people are looking that seems somewhat reasonable.

There are currently 17 tickets on stubhub being sold by 8 people.  Yes, they're scum, but this doesn't seem like a widespread problem.

I saw a pair drop to $55 each (68 with fees) on StubHub and decided to ante up. I'll be there tonight. More than I wanted to spend, but those first two games were hella fun. Besides, I sold my Nova seats for $137 each, so I guess I just traded one of those for two of these.

I was lucky enough to have a buddy with an extra ticket. 

I'll be standing behind the student section in a gold Trend Blackledge jersey!  Best (general admission) seats in the house!

Although the lower bowl may have been gone by 11am, there were still 200-level reserved seats available.

As I stated in another thread, I had to move back five rows compared to the Oregon game, which was surprising given the reduction in the maximum ticket limit.  With the students back, was their allocation increased?  Or did more higher-point STH decide to go to this game?

I’m guessing a combination of both.

I for one really hope they line the first two rows of seat backs with students on each side. Create an atmosphere if that's what Wojo did with the extra 250 tickets he gave out.

(I do know he footed the bill for 500 student tickets the first two games, and what an awesome guy he is for doing that).

Having said that, how piiiiiissssed are sweater vests gonna be at Wojo if he does line those first two rows on both sides of the arena with students? Standing the whole game screaming?

That means everyone will have to stand the whole game. I for one LOVE it.


Also sorry for my first post PeterPan I wasn't trying to be cranky. I'm coming off a night shift at the hospital so I'm a bit woozy and exhausted.

Hopefully, you weren't woozy and exhausted while taking out some poor mope's appendix!
