Tickets sold to so far to Arch Madness...

[shox1989]

I've been trying to talk my friend into going and I was wondering how much a ticket usually goes for from one of these "vendors"?

Face value or less.

You might be able to get some pretty good seats. A lot of the folks from Illinois tend to drive in because they are so close. They might not be back after Thursday.

I'll be there

However, I will not purchase tickets thru WSU. I have always gotten lousy tickets that way. I believe that these stats on tickets sold are meaningless.

I guess I didn't know where else to ask this question and I don't wanna start a new thread.

Has anyone taken the train from KC to Stl? If so, would you recommend it?

I've taken it twice with friends to the MVC tourney. It is a close call. It take 5.5 hours from KC to St Louis. It isn't that crowded and there is a snack/bar car. After after about four hours, the novelty wears off and you are ready to be there. But you can have cocktails worry free, play cards etc.

We might do it again this year - not sure if we will drive or do the train.

The train is a lot easier way to travel than driving across that pitiful highway that Missouri calls interstate 70.

Thanks for the input!

Just remember you can't trust a train to be on time. I know this from experience. But the not worrying about I70 is nice.

The problem with the train is that it takes 1 - 1.5 hours longer than driving.

Total tickets don't matter for the above mentioned reasons. Plus, if we happen to play Creighton, I guarantee that the majority of the non-Bluechicken fans will be pulling for the Shox. We will be well represented.

I dunno. I just guess I feel that a lot of us shocker fans would buy all session passes because we are pretty confident in going far in the tournament this year. But who knows. I have no doubt in a sea of yellow once again though. I'm excited either way.

While we're on the subject, I too just found out that the wife and I can go. Would love to find two all-session passes, but there seems to be none to be had on the traditional internet scalper sites. If anyone has bought tickets and CAN'T go, feel free to contact me. Definitely interested.
