Re: MVC Tourney

You can get your tickets through UNI. $110-115 for all sessions. That would be all games Thurs through Sunday. We always try for hotels within walking distance of the areana. Rooms downtown will be 90+ with most around 125. Farther from downtown you can get them for 60-80 per night.

You won't be able to buy them like that from the school or the conference. You will have to go thorugh stubhub, ebay, scalpers, etc.

Re: MVC Tourney

That's not true. Check out www.archmadness.com which will point you to Ticketmaster. Single session tickets are 30 bucks.

We just don't know what session UNI's playing in yet.

Re: MVC Tourney

Okay, do yourself a favor. If you haven't already bought tickets don't buy tickets before you get down there.

Tickets:

You do not want an all session pass if this is your first trip down. Chances are if this is your first trip you don't have any interest in watching Indiana State play Creighton so save your money and go watch it at a bar. Buy individual tickets for the UNI games. When you get there find a store and get a buy one get one free diet pepsi promtional thing off of a ticket. It will cost you roughly $15 a person for a pair of tix. If you cannot find the coupon, find a scalper outside of the arena. I can assure you that with UNI being the top dog this year there will be plenty of scalpers looking to get rid of good seats below face value. Scalpers worst night mare, a poor year by SIU.


Hotel:

Go to www.hotwire.com, enter in the dates you want a room in St. Louis, look for 2.5, 3, & 4 star hotels in the DOWNTOWN ST. LOUIS (do not stay anywhere else, its worth the money to stay downtown.) Right now you can go to Hotwire and find a 3 star, downtown St. Louis for Friday and Saturday night for $79 a night. That will probably be the millenium. Nice joint, if its not it will be somewhere else nice. All the hotels are nice down there.

Does anybody know when the all-session tickets will be mailed out?

Oops - I clicked on the wrong link when I was at ticketmaster's calendar. Thanks for the clarification.

They will be sent out when UNI gets them from The MVC. From what I have heard, it should be by mid-late Febuary.

Re: MVC Tourney

I received my all session passes from Ticketmaster before Christmas. Seriously folks, you need to start looking into this.

Some people like to go through the school/MVC though.

I still am looking for about 2 or 3 people to join my group to get down there, it isn't looking good at this point

Ya, I know. It just seems so much nicer to know exactly where your seats are (front row courtside on the aisle), have them early enough that you can sell the ones you don't want on Stub Hub, which I have already paid for my tickets by doing so. Then not have to worry about "when are they coming" only to find out that when they get here you are in the section 312 Row K.

Re: MVC Tourney

I've been looking for MVC tourney tickets on ticketmaster and the 'best available' all session seats are in the upper bowl. What gives?

Shocker fans pre-ordered every ticket in the lower bowl from 1970-present, because of their assumed dominance of the MVC.

Have you tried the UNI ticket office?
