If you need cheap tickets to Arch Madness, here's how to get 'em!

[OH, NEWBY]

Hi everyone,

I work at University Avenue Hy-Vee (by K-Mart) and our Purina sales rep left me with 3 tear-pads of Arch Madness hoops vouchers. 1 voucher gets 4 people into a single-session of games for 50 bucks and it includes 4 large sodas and 2 large popcorns. This is really an incredible deal. You can find the tear-pad vouchers in aisle 13 by the Purina dog food.

If you have any questions you can email me at [email protected].

Go Panthers!!

We normally buy the total tix package well in advance but this year for a ton of reasons will have to decide at the last minute if we can go to St Louis. We have never bought tixs from a scalper for anything. How do you go about that? Or should we go to the tix office at the arena? The Purina offer sounds good but we are just two.

Scalpers can be good or bad depending on what teams are left. Supply and demand. Your best bet is to get a cheap ticket to Thursday or wait outside Thursday night and look to buy an all session pass from a fan whose team is done.

With the Purina offer all you do is present the voucher to the ticket office and they give you the tickets. You will need 3 vouchers for the 3 potential sessions if UNI makes it to the finals. Since there are only 2 of you, you could sell a couple tickets across the street for 10 or 15 bucks apiece. If you buy from scalpers make sure you have a printable map that has a section layout so you know where the seats are located. You can usually gets tickets from scalpers pretty cheap as well, but theirs don't come with the popcorn and drinks. hahahaha

The scalpers will make you think that every seat in the area will be filled for every game which is not even close to the truth.

The Purina deal will more than likely give you seats in the upper level which is fine because you can sit about anywhere you want once you get in.

We did the Purina deal a couple years ago...you needed a proof of purchase then. Upper deck tickets but plenty of room in the lower bowl. Beware the over zealous ushers...

Last time we won the tourney we sat midcourt in the first 10 rows. I don't even remember when we were supposed to sit.

The Creighton seats are always empty except for their games. Since they sold 5000, there will be lots of empty seats.

BUMP for truth!

There are always plenty of open spots in the arena to sit wherever you want. For the 2 championship games we sat midcourt about 6 rows up and no one said a thing.

Last year I saw a guy give his free pop and popcorn certificates from the purina coupon to Chris o. And javon l. Wonder if that was an NCAA violation..

Went and got some of these yesterday. Still a lot left. Thanks for posting Newby.

Just want to make sure I got this right tho..I don't have to buy the dog food right? Just bringing the slip of paper to the Scottrade will be enough?

I've checked at a couple Hy-Vees in Dsm and haven't found these coupons. Dsm is a MVC town after all.
