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.

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

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?

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

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.

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!
 
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.

Thank you for your continued support of UConn Athletics and our men’s basketball program. GO HUSKIES!
 
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.

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.
