Having moved away frome the Northeast thirteen years ago, it's been a while since I've been to the Big East tourney. Used to go every year, and it's probably my favorite sporting event. I typically just stayed in the city and scalpled tickets or bought through the school. But now I've comepletely lost touch with what all of the options are for buying tickets. Here's why I'm asking about this:
We're planning a week long family trip in Spring to NY, and going to the tournament with my 13 year old daughter is the main event. She's already talking about the upcoming season, and seeing the tournament in person. She was back east with my wife a few weeks ago for a funeral, and she called me all excited because they were walking by Madison Square Garden. It's hard to decribe how excited I am to see the tourney again, and to be able to do it with my daughter. She's never been to a big, live sporting event, so this will be great!
Can anyone offer any info on what the options are for buying tickets these days? When do they typically go on sale? (Looks like the tournament starts on Mar 8, is that right?)
I'm risk-averse, so I'm not inclined to spend money for a hotel in the city and flights across the country, only to rely on scalping tix. And this may be a once in a lifetime thing (unless she goes to college in the Northeast), so I'm willing to spend to get good seats for all sessions. I'll scalp off what we don't use.
Thanks in advance for any advice to help make this come together!
