Tickets?

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.

I don't doubt this is true based on what TP said, but why does the order form state the exact opposite?!?

Re: Tickets?

Remember, all guesses are purely speculation. I have not talked to anyone "in the know". I got home at 7am from OKC, took a nap, went to my niece's b-day, ticket office, nap, wasted time on PN.

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.

Empty seats doesn't necessarily mean tickets available on the ground. How are Jayhawk fans going to get thousands of tickets to St. Louis?

I'm thinking the best deals will not be outside the dome, but online a couple days prior to the game.

Re: Tickets?

ive found good seats from KU fans online but would love to sit in our section.

Any specific sites or contacts would be more than helpful. Thanks.

That's what I figured I would get, just checking to see if I've covered all my bases. I'm not completely sold on buying tix off ebay and I've never had good luck with stubhub so it's kind of looking like fan2fan might be my best option. Although I'll definitely keep my eyes open. Thanks guys.

I totally agree, I was making a comment about what it was going to be like inside.

I have to imagine that the KU fans that have not sold their tickets by Tuesday will begin selling them to professional ticket brokers in St. Louis. They will take a pretty good hit on the price but that just means greater negotiating between us and the broker.

Re: Tickets?

KU fan here again.

The problem will indeed by that quite a few KU fans like myself made plans and purchased tickets. I now have tickets in hand. Driving to St. Louis to attempt to sell tickets is not my idea of fun.

However, what you folks may or may not realize is that there are 4 teams pretty close and all within a days drive of St. Louis.

My advice to you all (and take it for what you will) is this. Friday night will be a tough ticket if you want to sit downstairs. If you wanna just be in the Dome, well you can sit upstairs behind the basketball and get in. I did that as a college student in 2002 and 2004. However, if you want to see the game like you all are used to at your home games, I suggest you look for a ticket downstairs.

I still have 4 All-Session tickets available in the suite level in the 300s. My email is posted earlier in the thread.

Re: Tickets?

wow....500....

looks like I will be landing in St. Louis and playing the scalping game...grin

When I called the Ticket Office Sunday and requested two tickets I asked how many were available. The response was "at least 500" and hopefully the NCAA will give us more. I pointed out that I was a PSC member and a season ticket holder and asked about my chances to have my request filled. The answer was "good".

Re: Tickets?

Or perhaps it is you who should buy me a beer.

It is comical to me how people will pay over $100 more a night because they are afraid to try something new. Hilarious. People, priceline!

Why won't the online services tell you the name of the hotel before you book the reservation. I assume that is why the prices are low but I really don't understand how that business model works.

Re: Tickets?

I booked 4 in the front row of the club level, paid 166 for each ticket, and have alread sold 2 of the 4 Sunday tickets on Stubhub for $100 a piece. They are in the corner but sitting in the club level I am not too worried about it. It really just comes down to being able to take the risk of buying tickets all session and then selling the others.

That business model has saved me literally thousands of dollars over the past 5 years. It is simple, you say I have to stay downtown St. Louis, I have to be in at least a 3 star hotel, and this is what I am willing to pay. What a great business model.

Why are you selling the Sunday tix?
