NCAA Regional Tickets for Noobs

[Boxerdaddy]

What's the strategy here? Good sites to buy from? What are you paying for them and the section/area so we know if we're competitive? What will the walkup market be? Please add any expertise to help other Cyclones not get hosed. TIA

Sites seem to be hovering around $200 for 300 level seats (Friday only) right now. I would expect by tomorrow/Wednesay that will drop to $150 or lower if people aren't buying. I plan on waiting until Wednesday most likely.

$200-500 a ticket based on where you want to sit on Friday

Sunday is cheaper for now at $75-400

Buy it from StubHub, VividSeats, or TicketCity.

Scalping for a GOOD deal only works if you're willing to wait until just before tip (less than 5min) or after tip.

Tickets still for sale via Syracuse. These are both sessions for $260 but will be upper level. You must call though.

If you're purchasing online, be aware that you might not get your ticket in time if its being mailed/UPS's/FedEx'd. Sh** can happen where "Next Day" doesn't actually mean the next day.

If you have kids you're taking, they all need a ticket, regardless of the United Center policy.

Yea, I would look for the Pickup option in that case since it will be so close to the event, but appreciate the warning.

I have a co-worker who went to Syracuse; does anyone know if re-entry is possible or how that might work? I go watch the Cyclones game, then he uses my ticket to watch Syracuse?

Thanks.

I am sure there will be no re-entry.

Thanks for the heads up. Where did you confirm this? Does this include < 1 year?

I called the United Center. Sounded like age and size don't matter to the NCAA.

Just bought the last tickets from Syracuse. Sold out now from their end.

At some point this week, Stub Hub will only sell through their Last Minute Service (in KC it was a couple of tables in the lobby of the Marriott annex). If I didn't have tickets, I would seriously consider waiting until the last minute in the hotel lobby with the Stub Hub table and buy when someone drops the ticket price. I had to do this with tickets in St. Louis on Sunday. Someone got my tickets that were 10 rows behind the basket for $39.

I must have been just ahead of you. Came on here to post about it and found that it had already been posted.
