Who is going to Houston?

If anybody is looking to get rid of 2 extras please let me know. Just talked to the ticket office because I never received any emails about ticket availability even though I've been a contributor for 10+ years and apparently they somehow opted me out of getting emails and now the school allotment is sold out, which is great but disappointing for me.

Is your goal to sit in UConn section? I saw yesterday that tickets were cheap and available on the aftermarket sites.

Yeah that would be preferable but open to anywhere that isn't in an end zone because those seats are miles away from the court. I'll check Stubhub but I just hate paying their insane fees!
 
if anyone is holding out to find flights from hartford......flying to orlando friday night and over to houston saturday morning is about $270 one way (plus whatever you spend on hotel in orlando friday night). I know that ain't too too cheap, but it's a lot better than some of the horror stories i'm hearing.
 
Hi all.

I have attened every non-COVID Final Four since 2013 but can't make it this year. I cancelled my room at the Marriott Marquis DT Houston last night but I still have two All-Session tickets in Section 640 Row E and would just like to get something out of them and have an actual fan buy them without outrageous fees.

I bought these throught the NCAA Final Four Lottery as I do every year and can share the best strategy for upgrading your seats based on my years attending and having been in Houston in 2016.

PS: I was in the Garden when Kemba took my Cyclones out in 2014 and then watched them win the whole thing in person in North Texas. The tournament is always bananas and making it out of the Regional is special. Good luck in Houston!

Just buy them online as the prices are rock bottom without Texas or any other big name school there.

How much where face value for those tickets our of curiosity. I have tickets in section 540 and the prices are so low now. I wish I didn't panic buy them on Sunday when they started going up. Oh well I lost a lot of money but at least I'm going. LOL!

I think they were $110 per Session per ticket so $220 for 2 games Saturday and 1 game Monday. Plus fees of course...

I am in the same boat. Could of saved like 200-300 per ticket or sit closer than where I am.

I look at this way, if Texas would have won the tickets would have been more expensive. They were leading for most of the game so hence tix were more.

We could have easily paid more if they ended up winning. So I figure its a push.

Wow that means resellers are losing money now as they tickets are now sub $200 with fees.
 
I think San Diego State fans will represent in large numbers. Not sure about FAU and Miami.

Enrollment (Undergrad + Grad) by school:
SDSU: 34k
FAU: 30k
UConn: 27k
Miami: 19k

Yep they have been going down steadily. I’m tempted to grab 4 now but they’ll keep going down.

Sucks. Happened to me before.
 
Had an airbnb right by the stadium but just cancelled and changed to downtown after reading through this thread lol
 
Not sure if anyone else has heard the same, but Uconn Ticket Office indicated tickets wont be sent out until Friday night/Saturday

You made the right choice as all the non-game action is downtown with the concerts and fanfest. Enjoy all of the festivities downtown and take the train out and back to the games!

This is the best deal I have seen for a downtown Houston hotel. It is $299/night on Priceline and you can cancel up until 3/31 if something better comes up. King beds only though. It is rated 4.6 / 5 on Google reviews. Previous posts state that most of the activity is in the downtown area outside of the games.​

Thanks for the tip. This looks like a solid reasonable option near the downtown area. Ended up going with this and a red eye out of LaGuardia.
 
All sessions (semis and finals) now $125 a ticket which includes the fees for the upper corner. That’s nuts. I’m holding out for something lower lever but that seems crazy low to me.

I always do Terminal Parking, it’s not the cheapest option but significantly easier and more reliable than any other ones.

Will be parking there Friday for my flight out.

For anyone still looking for a hotel...The Best Western Plus Downtown Inn and Suites has been fluctuating on Priceline from $170 - $350 per night and is 0.50 miles away from the Uconn Hotel The Magnolia. It doesn't look like anything fancy but has some good reviews and a free breakfast. It is within walking distance to the MetroRail to take to NRG stadium

I lost my voice at that Sweet 16 game . I think the game may have been tougher with Niang healthy., but it worked for us.
