Yes its legit. There the official sponsor of UConn and the AAC Tournament.

I would recommend going through seatgeek.com. if the tix are listed on that they are likely legit. Seat geek takes prices from numerous reliable secondary market sites and lists all in one spot.

Easy seat is legit. I have to to imagine the league is dumping the tickets out the back door in the secondary market through them.

Do you and I have different definitions of cheap?
The cheapest seats are $90 a tix...or am I looking at it wrong? I know it's 2 games but the tix is $45 for each game - sounds high to me or am I just used to cheap season tix for FB with great seats.

Easy seat is legit. I used them for lower bowl seats for the CCSU game earlier in the year, the play in game on Thursday, and Today's semi-finals. I'm not a fan of the service charges, but it is what it is.

Depends where you're sitting.

Here's my take- had to pick up a spare last night for an extra person in my group, and paid $50 for the cheapest ticket. With that price, I assumed that the place would have been close to capacity, as I had gotten my ticket for $20 earlier in the week.

I don't know how their pricing algorithm works, but it doesn't make sense to raise the price when you still have a massive inventory of tickets (probably 5000 empty seats).

Side note: anyone notice there isn't a face value on these tickets?

I don't know face value but $90 is cheapest. Section 115 row U are $159 a tix $80 per game - that sounds High...I could be wr...wro...wrong

Thanks everyone

This is a tournament though, not a UConn event. StubHub only has about 40 tickets left and they are charging $120 Plus fees for the upper levels of 216.

To put it in perspective, I was in the building when Taliek Brown hit the 35 footer vs. Pitt in the BE finals. Those tickets cost $50 for the last row of the upper deck at MSG and that was 10 years ago.

Given Inflation, $90 for a lower bowl ticket through a secondary source in 2015 isn't such a bad deal.

See my thread on the $8.00 Easy Seat tickets I picked up for Sunday.
221, Row H.
Pulled the trigger Thursday night before the start of the UConn / So. Florida game.

Tickets are now going for $33 in that section.

I'll be a very happy individual tonight if they win.

 

[Husky25]

Face value through TicketMaster is $70-$90. Best available is Section 124, row T. So basically the last row of the lower bowl in the corner. I'll pay a little extra to be somewhere near midcourt, no problem.

Best I can tell prices change a lot.

Anyone using easyseat remember VIP10 to save $10. Pretty much waives the fee's. Cheapest tickets to the championship last night were $16. Today they are $33.00 Pull the trigger early if the game is in hand (not that we've done that often). Hartford will be madness tomorrow if we get through today.

This isn't the Big East. Easy Seat is playing games with the sections and ticket prices. they will release more in the 200's around 2:00. they are trying to price out the lower bowl first.

 

[UChusky916]

Anyone go through the XL ticket office? Is it about the same price as easy seat?

He is right. The did it last night.

355 I ordered an additional ticket. All EasySeat showed were lower bowl seats. Paid 61 for the ticket, session 3 only. One hour later I'm on here seeing people buying tickets for 25 bucks. Went back to EasySeat and the entire upper bowl was open.

 

[Waquoit]

Right now they are asking $111. for Row AA. That's pretty high up there.

 

[Ozone21]

XL Ticket office is a joke also. semi final tickets were not $70 and $90 yesterday.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

dont do stub hub, bunch of people trying to make money off of fans trying to go to game, this morning price for todays games were over $150 for cheapest in nose bleeds.

 

[whaler11]

$65 for all sessions was a good investment. If they win tonight I'll be up $200 or so and have gone to every game but Sunday.

That's what it said online just before I checkout. I'm not going to buy tickets I don't need just so you can argue against me.

$8 was a great futures bet, but for me, just being able to say, "I was there," is no longer good enough. I did that for the World Series, an ALCS, 3 ALDS, an AFC Championship game, Roof top seats at Wrigley, The Big House in Michigan, UConn at MSG in the Sweet 16, and Derek Lowe's No-Hitter (though in fairness, the Sox didn't tell us in advance he was going to throw a No-No that day).

The XL Center sightlines are terrible for 75% of the seats and that takes away from the entertainment value of my experience. I fear that I might come off as an arena snob, but with certain exceptions, I really don't go to the XL Center unless I'm sitting in the lower bowl somewhere between the baselines (I'll take the first few rows of the second level, but only at mid-court). Most of the time, I'm priced out of those seats but I'd rather watch the game on TV otherwise. Being a Red Sox fan really makes me appreciate quality sightlines.

 

[Adios]

Costs $40 with fees now for the cheapest seats on Easy Seat. Prices are creeping up.

 

[Husky25]

Makes sense. That's their business model. At the end of the day, they are a legalized scalper. It is a pure capitalist environment.
