Today(Friday's) newspaper says there about 6,700 tickets sold for Saturday. The arena holds over 17,000 people. If you go online to purchase tickets, Ticketmaster says there are tickets left in only ONE section of the arena.
Something is wrong here.....the NCAA has to make ticket selection and buying easier for the fans.
The Times Union Arena seats a couple of thousand less for for basketball than for concerts.
I bought three tickets in Section 226 from Ticketmaster last night, and the seat selection map for Saturday showed seats available in more than a dozen sections. Just went on line now, and the Ticketmaster map is showing seats still available in Sections 203, 204, 206, 207, 208, 209, 211, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231 and 233.
Watched a video shot at the arena yesterday and saw that the 200 level Sections behind the baskets were curtained off.
