Columbus Roll Call

[Dr. Blackheart]

I never got an email of rejection from MU.  I called the ticket office to find out.  Still waiting on getting my money returned.

Off to the secondary market!

If you didn't get tickets from MU, your credit card won't be charged.

[YoungMUFan4]

No luck for me getting tickets through MU either.  Hope they didn’t screw existing season ticket holders for those placing new deposits.

I heard that was the primary objective.  F@ck ‘em

[warriormom]

Never got an email.  Texted them.  Told me only to 100 accounts got tickets.  Claimed email was sent.  Had checked spam too.  Nothing

If they have three sections that seems like a really small number of accounts.

That's 400 tickets per school allocated by the NCAA. 1600 for Session One. It seems there will be a lot of Ohio State fans making money on their pre-sale purchases from last summer.

[Shooter McGavin]

My family will be there.  Pregame suggestions?

Maybe a lot of tickets went to students?

We can only hope. I mentioned previously
My UCONN friend ,a season ticket holder, was
told $10k to be able to buy tickets to the BET
Might be something like this going on

[Norm]

Yeah, I found the message saying I didn't get tickets from MU in my junk folder. Oh well. But I am a season ticket holder in the 200 section at Fiserv so not a big spender compared to others.

Looks like you can get tickets in the $30's + fees in the 200 section for the first session on Friday for the MU and MSU games on Stubhub and Vivd.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Spitballing it but 400 tickets for STH (top 2%), 100 for staff and player's families and 50 for students (band).  That puts each school at 550 per session (4) in an arena that sits 19,500 for basketball. So 11% of the arena's tickets are allocated to the participating teams' fans.

The NCAA hates us!

A family member and his father call the mid major schools to see if they have any extras in their allotment. They get tickets doing that every year. Might be worth it to call Vermont or USC.

Good call. Based on when we played USC at Orlando a few years back, USC does not travel well at all.

In the past, these teams would turn their excess over and the hot ticket schools could allocate a bigger supply.  MU said that the NCAA has a holding these this time and to buy from them.

What happened I am guessing is that Ohio State season ticket holders bought big on the summer pre-sale. So allocation inventories are now low and their fans and the NCAA are profiting on resell. Fxck'Em

[MUFanSince77]

I’m traveling to Columbus but more likely to sit in the cheaper seats up top.  For those looking for something a bit better I called the USC office and they have tickets available.  $200 per ticket for the first and second round but they said second ($100) gets refunded if they lose so you might need to rebuy for Sunday if we win but USC loses.

I did that with Pitt in 2003. Also got Pitt t-shirts (which I did not wear).

[Oldgym]

What happened I am guessing is that Ohio State season ticket holders bought big on the summer pre-sale expecting that a highly rated preseason Buckeye team would play in Columbus.

I know Nationwide isn't their home arena, but I didn't know this could happen.

Section 108...Friday, let's get this.

Going to call Vermont and say I'm a UVM parent.  Oh wait, I am nevermind..........

[Dr. Blackheart]

It's like what Nova does in Philly. But I was corrected in this case as tOSU cannot host and play. In Philly, another school hosts.

Just got the Official email from MU about the festivities in Columbus this week.

https://alumni.marquette.edu/2023-mens-ncaa-tournament

Sonesta is indeed the team hotel.  There's a reception & team send off sometime 12:30 pm or later on Friday.

There's an official MU bar near the arena too....The R Bar (which according to my brother that lives in Columbus is a hockey bar that Blue Jackets fans frequent....he said it's a very cool establishment).
