Sorry for asking this again, but since no one has responded yet...does anyone know what section these tickets are in? I just purchased four, but the UConn Club rep could not tell me...I'd like to know because if they are in the 400s I may want to try to get something closer.

Thanks.

I don't think that there is any way to find out until you get there. The school will have tickets in different sections.

No, no one will be getting their tickets until arriving in Dallas at the hotel.

I've been to the past 3 final fours and my tickets were in the lower level but you don't know in till you pick them up.

The woman in the ticket office this morning told me that haven't been given the tix by NCAA yet. My guess is that they will get them later this week in Dallas and then do the distribution based on donor points on Thursday or Friday

Just remember, anywhere else outside of the Uconn section is likely to put you in the middle of a sea of UK fans.

Chances are you will be in the lower level on the sideline. Probably 2/3rds the way up between the foul line and the baseline. That's where I ended up for the two FF's I attended held in a pro FB stadium. Had Boeheim and Brey a few rows ahead of us 1 year.

And if we don't sell our allotment, part of our section will be too.

Just called the ticket office and was told tickets will not be offered to alumni unless you're a donor or a full season ticket holder. According to the Uconn website it looks like just about all packages are now sold out. Guessing we won't have to worry about our allotment of tickets and hotel rooms being completely sold

 

[CTPride]

Anyone think secondary market ticket prices will go down? Maybe right before the game? Im living in Dallas and would love to see my first Uconn game.

 

[ISUCyclone]

Hey guys, still looking to sell my tickets. I have 4 (sec 446, row 13) still looking to sell (ALL-SESSION)

I bought for $350 a piece and am hoping to make my money back, but give me your best offer. Paperless tickets that I will transfer to you.

Email me at tylanderson@gmail.com.

FYI- If you buy them through ncaa.com, you will be charged an 18% service fee, so avoid that if at all possible. (and buy mine! ).

Good luck, and honestly shoot me an offer if you still need tickets.

I'm hoping for the same, and driving in from Austin. They've already gone down from Sunday and yesterday with get in price at $146.00 on Seatgeek.

I would be very surprised by this as they always had tickets for the general population even in 2004 when our name was more popular amongst fans. I would be shocked if they don't release some tomorrow morning. If they don't I won't be going as I don't want to pay top dollars for scalped tickets. It would suck as I have been to the last 3 doing this method. 2011 was the first time they made a distinction between Alumni and general public. Plus, I rather being sitting with other UCONN fans. Though it was hilarious to have a couple of snooty Duke Fans in front of my brother and I in 2004. Boy we let them have it! LOL!

 

[Joe Ross]

I absolutely agree and hope you're right about the alumni tickets. We are definitely going and planning on getting tickets but we would obviously rather be in the Uconn section if possible. I'll probably call again tomorrow morning just to double check

Yeah, it is has been historically been Wednesday that they release them to Non-Donors/General Public. I'm sure there will be some available but make sure to call first thing tomorrow morning to get some. Seems like there is a lot more interest in UCONN men's basketball than past years.

I called around 12:30 and was told all of the Men's game tickets were sold out. Did anyone here get different info?

Nobody knows what they are doing there except at the last second. I just called the ticket office and they only knew that tickets have to be finanlized by tomorrow and told me to call Alumni office as they might have some available tomorrow. Alumini office has no idea why they are telling people to do this as they won't sell tickets. Just like the Website which hasn't been updated since Sunday there is no new information available. If you are still in the market for tickets like myself I would call first thing tomorrow morning and wish for the best. Historically Wednesday is when they sold to Alumni/General Public. If I can't get a ticket I will be dissapointed as I have gone to 3 UCONN final fours in a row but I'm not going to pay crazy prices for tickets as I already have to help my brother with some of his expenses. Also, I wouldn't be sitting with other UCONN fans most likely.

Just off the phone with TO, they still have some, but not sure how many left, still taking orders from Club members nly. And not sure what will be the next step of releasing tickets, but maybe alumni next.

Well that is more information I got from the rep that I talked to he just said they are offering tickets only to Dallas and Houston Alums and to call the Alumni office about getting tickets tomorrow.

 

[Skiblets]

Wonder where 'revamp the ticket office' is on Warde's to do list.

Exactly! Telling people to call the Alumni office about buying tickets is just plain stupid. I hope having the women going to a final four also and selling out will keep lots of available tickets to purchase. I would think so especially since they were allowing donors to purchase 6 which I never heard of in the past.

 

[3rdbass]

Did anybody hear anything new on whether they will be selling tickets tomorrow for Alumni and general public? Why do they update their site for women tickets but nothing for the men?

 

[Calhoun's Court]

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.

That wouldn't be me. I've had season tickets for 37 years.
My post was referring to donors who couldn't get tickets from UCONN not the general public.
