Tickets?

Re: Tickets?

I'm not sure on the number of tickets. When I went in today there were a LOT of requests. Most of the ones I saw were not from PSC members or season ticket holders. Not sure how they decide if you're not in either and there are tickets left.

Re: Tickets?

if you had to guess, what percent of ticket request through UNI will get filled? ive found good seats from KU fans online but would love to sit in our section.

I don't understand. On my ticket order form it says the maximum number of tickets you may order is equal to the number of season tickets you had for the 2009-2010 season. So how are non season ticket holders able to order through the UNI ticket office?

The reason I ask is because we are going with a group of 4-5; but I only have two season tickets?

If I had to guess, a low %.

I saw a student come in a request 6 tickets. Imagine if half the season ticket holders requested their seats, that alone is about 1,500 tickets or something. I saw a lot of request for 5 plus tickets from non-PSC, non season ticket holders.

I agree. This is confusing. I'm assuming that it goes like this:

-PSC members who are season ticket holders can order tickets equal to their season tickets.
-If there are tickets left, non-PSC season ticket holders can order tickets equal to their season tickets.
-PSC members who are season ticket holders can order extra tickets.
-non-PSC members who are season ticket holders can order extra tickets.
-non-PSC/non-season ticket holders get their requests fulfilled.

This is all a guess.

that is exactly my dilemma 9yr.......part of me wants to have tickets "in hand" before I land in St. Louis but the other part of me says be patient and wait until I get there as there has to be good opportunities outside the venue.....oh the stress of success......LOL

Re: Tickets?

I agree with TP. We are the closest team by distance and our first run to 16. Look out for yourself, because the ticket office will not be able to tell you one way or the other until Wednesday. Especially if you do not have a PSC membership. (Same old same old).

BTW - I would love to be able to justify a PSC membership, but it is hard to toss $200-$500 away on one or two games per years, living this far away, and all.

Re: Tickets?

I would only recommend scalping for those with good communication skills.

When buying, scalpers try to snag and the tickets to try and corner you into selling.
When selling if you have the cash out, they may make a grab for it. Keep everything out of sight while negotiating.

that sounds fairly realistic. I have experienced playoff tickets for the Rockies and there is no doubt that the season ticket holders and supporting members will get absolute first crack (as it should be!) If the venue holds 40,000+ people? don't you think the Universities would get at least 5,000 tickets each? Am I way off on that number? oh well I believe in ticket Karma and I have not been shut out of an event yet....cross my fingers so we shall see!!!

I can't imagine 5k each. Not sure what the total seating was for OKC, but I believe our actual alotment was 500. I would guess 1-3k. But tickets should be easy to find with KU fans bailing.

Re: Tickets?

IF you look at site like stub hub, (or pictures of past final fours, etc.), it looks like each school gets one section's worth of seats behind the bench, or directly across the floor. It does not seem that there are any tickets available in said sections (yet).

Re: Tickets?

You can request more than your number of season tickets but good luck getting that many. Noone should be shocked on who gets first priority on this. It has been the sane system for years.

No the ticket office doesn't know how many or where. The NCAA hasn't told them yet. They do, however, have answers to the questions being asked here. They aren't as dumb as most of you want to believe.

Re: Tickets?

Ticket office was very helpful today. They were laughing at the rediculous requests from people who were asking for 10 tickets and weren't PSC/season ticket holders.

I don't think most people get how this stuff works. I'd guess a lot of them are not UNI fans.

Re: Tickets?

I honestly think there are going to be pockets of Panther Fans all around the dome, and probably quite a few empty seats from Jayhawk fans who couldn't unload their tickets.
