I'm on ticket master trying to buy what is left of tickets for March 25/27. Found 2 seats (I'm tall and need an aisle seat) for $59.00 each (2 day pass). No so bad right? $19.75 in fees for one ticket????? Unreal. Ticket master is nothing but a scam!

That's how everything is these days. Taxes, surcharges, administrative fees is where you make your money. It's really highway robbery. We should adopt a more European system where the advertised price must be the all-in price.

I bought my tickets over a month ago, and even then most of the prime seats were gone. I can't imagine there are many tickets left at this point.

This could be a sell-out or near sell-out.

Yes, I wonder why the FTC doesn't go after Ticket Master's monopoly and price gouging.

Drive to the arena and buy your tickets. No fee.
Didn't think of that. I need to see how far of a ride and then call box office to see if tickets are available. There are lots of overpriced tickets on stubhub.

South Carolina was a sell out and there were a lot of open seats when the cameras panned the crowd

I guess the resellers get in early. They speculate that UConn is headed to Bridgeport and it will be a sellout. If by chance UConn was headed somewhere else, you could probably get great seats for next to nothing.

The seats available on Ticketmaster are the same seats available at the arena. Their box office is open every day, and nights of an event . Also, check stubhub a few hours before the game, there are always people trying to unload their seats for cheap. Remember that there will be a lot of seats available after the first round of games, after teams get beat. Many will try to resell their tickets on Stubhub and other resale sites.

It seems that resellers are an issue with "sellouts". Looks like some speculate and buy blocks of tickets in hopes of making money reselling them on these sites. If they don't all resell you get games that people (who are unaware of the site) cant get tickets to that have empty seats in the arena!

Resellers are like jackals looking for vulnerable prey. Of course I would never want to see it, and it is practically inconceivable, but if UConn bombed out of the 1st or 2nd round all the resellers would take a well -deserved bath.
