Indy trip … who’s going and should I?

Season ticket holder. I just called the ticket office. Was 18th in line so I waited. Ordered 2 tickets. Can’t tell us where they are. We will receive a confirmation email tonight if we got them.
 
If you had two season tickets, are you limited to two final four tickets or would they let you order more?
 
I do hope we have some kind of turnout. Feels like every time we get here someone in the media+other fanbases dog walk us and it’s not a good look. Have a feeling this could be the smallest UConn contingent to a final four given circumstances.

Same, if anyone can't use their tickets I'm looking for 5 tickets but will take whatever I can get and I'm willing to pay more than face. Please PM me.

Try not to pay more, F4 ticket prices usually plunge the day before, or on game day - with Michigan and Illinois in driving distance, that may change this year, but I doubt it

If you're going with 5, have all five people buy individual tickets (rather than trying to find 5 together) the morning of, and agree to meet up somewhere ... in a football stadium, nobody really cares where they're sitting, you'll be fine
 
The only silver lining is that no single fandom tends to dominate the semifinal games. With the football seating putting the fans farther away and the rich people who don't support anyone but just want to be there, it's not going to be problematically hostile or anything.

I owe you a few beers after setting up that tailgate at the FAU game last Nov.

I need 2 tickets for my brother and I. This is our 7th UConn final four and would love to sit in the UConn section. I'm an UConn Alumni. PM if anyone has 2 they can sell.
 
Airfare to IND out of DFW is through the roof. May fly into Midway and rent a car... But will only be for Monday. Only upside of being in TX (re. the team) has been the opportunities to see them in the F4 and their time in the AAC - games against SMU & Houston, Conference championships in Fort Worth... Re. fans at the games - SDSU showed out like mad in '23 but Purdue surpassed that and easily had the bodies in '2024. Felt like UConn had the smallest contingent both years.

We were a bigger contingent than FAU and probably Miami in '23 for and maybe Alabama in '24. I was at both. I would give you SDSU in '23 and Purdue in '24 was scary how many obnoxious fans showed up for them. NC State I guess was also bigger than us in '24.

LOL - my impression may have been due to where the seats I ended up grabbing were located in 2023 (sitting amongst the enemy), but the FAU fans were loud!

Blows my mind UConn would have the the smallest showing in a final four of SDSU, FAU and Miami. Where are all these SDSU fans coming from?
 
I'm a two hour drive from Indy so will be there if prices drop. I don't donate enough to get them through UConn so Ticketmaster is my only option. I don't mind paying for ok seats but hard to pay $1,000 for 2 for the top row of a football stadium. I guess I got spoiled by the cheap prices when we won in Houston.

Hopefully, Mullins' family, friends and fans show up in droves with UConn gears...do they count? :-)

You might actually get half of that town showing up, it's fairly close to Indy

It's population is 24,000. If you get a third of that it would be more than we bring. It might actually be surprising how loud it could be for us. And that's not counting the basic basketball fans from other parts of Indiana that might root for the local. I say basic because the hardcore fans will be mad he left and didn't play for State U
 
When you average a final four every 3 years, it’s difficult to get fantastic attendance - especially when you’re a state school that is always a good distance away from the venue. It’s expensive for fans to travel continuously to these events. And even though people think of Connecticut as wealthy, that’s because of Fairfield County - and they don’t think of themselves as part of the state. UConn fans are by and large hard working, normal folks who can’t always splurge for these types of trips. It’s also Easter weekend, making it difficult for people with families to travel far away for the game.

Michigan and Illinois are local - and rarely get this far. They will attend in droves. Arizona also rarely gets this far — they will also attend. It is what it is - though I’m hopeful we’ll still have a decent attendance.

My brother who wasn't an FAU alum was able to get good seats in the FAU section pretty easily with at $50 donation. We sat in their lower bowl section.

I was at it and I think we only trailed SDSU for that final four. Maybe Miami was bigger than us but we were bigger than FAU for sure.

It sure would be nice to get a Final Four in our backyard. Crazy to think the last Final Four in the Northeast was East Rutherford in '96.

"that’s because of Fairfield County - and they don’t think of themselves as part of the state"

Where you getting that idea? Not true.

It’s from the ‘23 run, where mojo was a mashup of Taylor Swift and Bill Murray. And it’s literally her wearing a shirt that says his name, no AI back then

You owe me nothing, but I'm always down for free drinks

It takes a village for stuff like this to happen, thank you for coming out to support!

What sections are the UConn fans sitting in? If I can't get to buy 2 from a donor with extra I would like to be able to buy close to the UConn section.
