Big East 23-24 Results

Friends,  I don't think I've ever posted on scoop, but I read it every day.  I'm an MU alum (PhD 1999) and I will be in DC for the Georgetown game on Feb 3.  I need two tickets.. Anyone with leads, connections?  Does MU have road tickets for sale?

Marquette usually has a big allotment in DC because of the Aspin Center. A lot of alumni attend. Also GTown has no fans so there are more than enough seats. If you want to sit with MU fans follow the DC MU Alumni Facebook page.  They will also host a pre/post game party.

I have road tripped to DC for MU/Georgetown games. Tickets at the Capitol Center were never a problem because the Hoyas sucked. I suspect ticket demand will be much higher with Ed Cooley coming in.

I would call the Georgetown Athletic Ticket Office ASAP and ask them when single game tickets go on sale. They will probably tell you that Georgetown doesn't sell the tickets and re-dirct you to Ticket master or some such service. If you're looking for the more expensive, quality seats, you may have to go to the secondary market.

As far as getting any help from MU in purchasing road game tickets, your success will be in direct proportion to the size of the checks you write out every year. My experience is that MU gets X amount of tickets for road games and they naturally look to take care of their largest donors first. I get this completely and understand. But they're likely to tell you to check back a few days before the game and if they have uncommitted tickets they'll sell them to you. That's generally too long to wait, at least for me.

Happy travels.

“ much higher “ demand for tics at
Gtown ?  I doubt it …

But, even if demand doubles they go from what ? 2k to 4K per game?

I’ve been to GT multiple times. Even on StubHub, Vivid, etc. tickets are very available and very reasonable. If Cooley turns things around that could change.

Georgetown has very little current fan support. Just go straight to their ticket office  and you can get some great seats.

Even if GT gets better under Cooley, its not going to happen that fast.

That UBS news caught my eye, have they played there before?

Hope Rick doesn’t get urritable bowel syndrome during those games

Johnnies played there once , when the facility opened in 2021, lost to Kansas. It will be easy for their Long Island fan base to get to UBS, so expecting good crowds.

He should be.  Creighton returns almost as much as MU.   From a really good team.

Hopefully the foot heals properly this time. The good news is Zach graduated and will hopefully earn a Graduate Degree

I think there’s a much larger chance he regrets returning than most borderline first rounders who return. He may come back and really help himself, but there’s also a chance that he has his weaknesses exposed as a more prominent player than there was as a 15 mpg guy. Plus injures are always a concern, especially to such big guys.
