Buying BE Tournament tickets ahead of time

[Letsgohuskies11]

From what it looks like, we have a very, very high chance of playing on Thursday, the early session game at 2:30. Saw somewhere on twitter that its a 92% chance. I just snagged tickets on stubhub for relatively "cheap". A little bit of a gamble but I imagine once the seedings are set, prices will skyrocket. I dont know what needs to happen for UConn to have a shot at moving up if at all but seems like we are locked into the 5.

I agree that the 5 seed looks like an inevitability. Everything would have to go perfectly to crack the top 4.

Just an inquiry here. Is there a specific UConn train that heads down to the Garden. Someone mentioned a Uconn train on another thread. If so any contact info?

6 seed - We'd have to lose all 3 regular season games and Seton Hall has to win 2 of 3 (Nova, PC, Xavier) or Nova has to go 3-0 (Creighton, Seton Hall, UConn). Very unlikely

3 seed - Xavier has to go 0-3 (Seton Hall, PC, Butler), and Creighton has to go 1-2 (Nova, Butler, DePaul). Even more unlikely

I am looking for 2 tickets to that session. Let me know if anyone has any available.

Just got 2 tickets in lower 200s for the Thurs afternoon session for $60 each off tickpick. Thought it was a good deal.

 

[Matt1010]

Probably worth buying Friday as well, I got 3 in 226

 

[chalk1]

Got two for Thursday - 216 Row 15. Staying over the day before so I can slow walk to MSG. Hope I am smiling a 3.

Amtrak trains will drop you off at Penn Station which is right next to MSG. Metro North trains will drop you off at Grand Central which is a mile walk. MNR may add service to GCT for the games, as they have done in the past, but as far as I know that has not been scheduled yet. Even if not, there is plenty of service throughout the morning that will get you there easily and on time.

We bought tix right after the Seton Hall win for the early session on Thursday.

As stated above, as of now we are 92% lock for the 5 seed.

Marc D'Amelio was talking about throwing a Big East tournament party somewhere near MSG before and or after the game

Where are they they cheapest?

The semifinal March 10th game is always the hardest ticket ot get given there's 4 fan bases fighting for each seat.

 

[aburks41]

Buy your tickets now for the afternoon session. We'd have to go 0-3 to end up in the 6 seed at this point. UConn fans have the advantage right now to stock up on cheaper tickets

The Friday night semifinals are a bucket list item for any basketball fan. Electric environment

They are. Awesome. Prediction. Villanova will be playing in the 9 PM game. We will be in the 6:30 game.

I just gave you 1/2 the semis.

Got 2 in 226 off seatgeek for 67 each a little while ago. Friday's were ... a bit more expensive

 

[jpeakin]

Where are they they cheapest?

They are all about the same. Tickets for Thursday to be had for @ $65 for decent seats in the 200's section. I checked SeatGeek, StubHub and Ticketmaster...all the same prices

All of the major ticket sites have them. Reasonably priced @ $65 for decent seats.

 

[jpeakin]

Random question if anyone knows how this works...

I see that the major ticket sites like TicketMaster, etc. all have similar seats in similar sections in similar rows for similar prices (I know, too much similar). My question is, do these sites pool tickets or can sellers sell across multiple sites? It seems as though the same exact seats are on multiple sites.

When would be the best time to grab Friday night tickets on the secondary market? Now, and just sell them if we lose Thursday and probably get most of the money back? I imagine prices rise quite a bit after our game Thursday if we win

Probably 2 ways of thinking. Buying now while nothing is announced, or waiting till whoever loses to offload their tickets.

I haven't been to a game at MSG in more than a dozen years (more like 15+), so I don't really remember. Would seats in the bottom half of 210, 212 or 223, 225 generally be considered good seats? Or should I keep looking?

Seems like anything in the 100s are ridiculous.
