Final Four Ticket Info (via UConn)

[Skiblets]

If anyone buys game tix through the school and has extras please let me know. I am going but am not willing to pay for the hotel requirement (4 day minimum, $725 per person). Want the ticket $$ to go to the school but don't want to pay for the required hotel stay.

Thanks in advance,
Skibs

Does anyone know if they'll be serving alcohol in the club sections? I know there's no alcohol served at NCAA tourney games in the concourse but every time i've gone so far to other stadiums they've served alcohol in the clubs. Only asking because our seats are in the field club section which I believe has access to the club lounges.

They served in club section in San Antonio, I didn't go to Detroit or Houston

Very unlikely, the NCAA basically has a blanket ban on alcohol sales at NCAA Tournament events.

Face value for all tickets is $310 through UConn - I believe all tickets are lower level.

I am UConn Club member, at one of the lower levels (Coach?). I signed in last night to check for the tickets and packages, and was shown a price of $315 per ticket, which includes the two sessions.

Talked to a friend today, who is at a higher level, and his price was $385 for the tickets, so I think that there are different prices for different sections.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Oh maybe there is. I too saw the only price available was $315. Perhaps $385 is a club level?

Congrats on the final four!

I am a Cyclone fan living in Dallas that unfortunately bought my tickets with some cardinal and gold glasses on (and before Niang got hurt!) and am looking to sell them. I know rates are climbing pretty high right now, but I have 4 all session (Sec 446, row 13) for $400 OBO.

I am rooting for you guys to win it all. Really enjoyed the game this past Friday. Napier is awesome to watch and Daniels really turned it on. With the relationship of Ollie and Hoiberg, I wouldn't mind this being a non-con in the near future!

Anyways, if you are looking for 4 all-session tickets (and don't want to go through the university/hotel issues) shoot me an email: tylanderson@gmail.com.

Good luck Saturday!

Congrats on a great year, bum luck with Niang. I wouldn't mind at all getting a home and home done in the near future. Gonna need all the non-conference games against good teams we can get! We did have that football series (granted that was set up about 15 years ago and spanned nearly a decade with just 2 games) and with the relationship of our two good young coaches I could see it going down. Good luck going forward!

How is this a good idea?

UCONN is stiffing their fan base with this.

Why not let donors have access to the extra tickets.

Instead of putting more UCONN fans in the building UCONN is allowing the people who bought the package to pick up extras to scalp.

The only people making out are the people buying the 6 extra tickets so they can make some cash.

No guarantee those tickets are going to UCONN fans.

I tend to agree. I certainly hope these go to UConn fans and don't water down our section. Or even worse, force people like me to purchase nosebleeds from stubhub.

 

[BoatShow]

I really would like to have faith in the idea that people who are significant donors would just be getting tix for framily...I mean friends and family. I'VE SEEN THESE ADS TOO MANY TIMES.

 

[bellairehusky]

does anyone know what section the UConn section is in?

 

[sportsart]

Yes...I've heard our biggest donors are short of cash so they will be scalping the 6 extras. Even the smaller donors.

You can fit a bazillion people in the place. Good luck trying to scalp.

The absolute least likely group to scalp tickets are the people currently being offered extras.

Smaller donors will get their shot - do not panic.

Indeed...why would the people who shell out extra money to support the department and probably donate more buy tickets to stiff other uconn fans? If they're buying them it's probably for other family/friends.

Did this offer go to certain donor levels only?

 

[huskymedic]

Did this offer go to certain donor levels only?

Not that I'm aware of... Came to UConn Club Members (and I am far from a "high level" donor category).

You can become a Uconn Club Member for as low as $100 donation I believe:

Thanks man! Yea tough luck but thats how things go. Fun to watch you guys beat MSU, haven't liked them since the 2000 E8. Good luck!

Fun to see younger Alumni succeed (as Hoiberg and Ollie are showing). Really makes me appreciate the college game a lot more. Hope both coaches stay for a long time.

 

[jed23]

Well, I'm a donor and I've been calling the ticket office since 9AM and its been a busy signal.....

 

[Waquoit]

UCONN is stiffing their fan base with this.

The real stiffs are those that don't support the program, that don't go to games but bellow like stuck pigs because they aren't first in line for the big ticket.

 

[3rdbass]

Well, I'm a donor and I've been calling the ticket office since 9AM and its been a busy signal.....

Keep calling I got though. It took me 20 minutes of constantly redialing to get though. Probably a little hit and miss. Sure is affecting my productivity today. LOL!

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

My dad was told by someone at WorldTek that apparently UConn got 3,200 more tickets. Don't know how true that is or not, but that's what it is.
