I got an email that they were being shipped by us mail, although people had the option to print at home.

And you ordered from UConn or Ticketmaster?

Direct from ticketmaster during the pre-sale Tuesday. Email said tickets printed and will be shipped shortly so I'd assume I'd get them some point this week.

I was given the order form from UConn a while back and not heard. Has nothing to do with Ticketmaster. Have not heard back yet. Maybe not enough points on my account, I am not sure.

I haven't gotten anything from UConn. They told me on the phone that they would be shipped out in November and will not charge till they go out.

On ticketmaster now it looks like almost all the tickets are gone. Hopefully a majority of UConn fans bought them up.

Thank you.
 
Looks like its very close to a sell-out at this point. Very few pairs of seats together, and a scattering of single seats in the upper levels. This should make for a great atmosphere.
 
Any CT Yarders traveling & staying overnight? How are you approaching trains, parking, & hotel etc. need suggestions from Hartford area.

Hotels will unfortunately be very expensive in NYC as rates are always high between Thanksgiving and New Years. If I stay overnight, I'll likely use hotel points as my wife would kill me. If you need to stay overnight, consider driving and staying in Stamford. It's only a hour train rider after the game.

Thank you. Any idea on parking cost & how late the train runs back to New Haven? How long a ride to Penn Station?

Not sure of the schedule; but, only Amtrak from New Haven goes to Penn Station, which is right under MSG. Metro north goes to Grand Central, which is at 42nd & Park - a 20 or so minute walk to MSG at 33rd & 7th.

Metro North goes to Grand Central.

You can either walk to the Garden or take the Subway to Times Square than Penn Station.

Last train back leaves at 1:30 and gets to New Haven at 3:15. It's about the 6th circle of hell as it makes every stop.

I ordered as a donor through Uconn as well. Was wondering the same thing and called the ticket office last week. They said they hadn't done ticket distribution yet. Said they will be distributing and charging for the tix the week before Thanksgiving.

I'm staying at a Fairfield Inn (Marriott brand) in midtown. It was $350 or so a night, which is way too high; but, its the holiday season in NYC when hotel rates especially around MSG as there is a lot of shopping there, are nuts. As my wife is going to have my nust staying over night, I am using my Marriott points instead of forking over the cash.

As a FYI, as PATH runs 24/7 and as its a short block between MSG and the PATH station at Herald Square, hotels in Hoboken and Jersey City are not that far away and maybe slightly cheaper than Midtown. Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn may also be slight less for the same reason.
 
I'm staying at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. 45,000 Marriott reward points. Great success!
