Atlanta tickets

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

I also know for a fact that there were student tickets at 4:30. If they are still some left, you only have until 5 ET tomorrow to purchase them.

Boom confirmation just came in!

I got an email stating that season ticket holders an SASO members were the only ones allowed to submit for tickets. There were no "Check back" messages. All were consistant.

If someone had anything different, please share, but the direction I was given was Stub Hub or NCAA website.

Doh. They need a Shockernet allocation for guys like you and @tropicalshox:.

Got my email. Going to Atlanta baby!

The ticket office called about a half hour ago because of a mix up. Got it straightened out and found out I would get Final Four tickets from my season tickets. Priority point rank is pretty low--bottom half.

Not sure what you mean by "low--bottom half"...could you explain?

Ticket office told me we'd hear between 8 and 9. It's 9:20 and still nothing. Anyone else hear anything?

Just got the email from the ticket office and I got my four tickets! Woohoo!

I was told by someone at the ticket office that seats won't be assigned until Thursday or Friday at the earliest. My question is, are the tickets that WSU is selling good for Monday also?

Yes, they are. usually they will let you pick up the tickets either at the team hotel on Thursday or Friday, and if you can't swing that then you can still do the will call window on Saturday.

This is nerve wracking. a) Am I even going to get tickets, and b) are they going to be worth the trip to Atlanta? Seriously. Sitting in the corner nosebleeds of a 3 tier football stadium to watch a basketball game? Well that'd be dumber than picking the Shockers to make it to the Final Four.

Since they started placing the court at midfield, most of the seats will be in the lower bowl. They usually have the two higher seeds behind the benches, and the two lowers seeds across from the benches (so same setup as the first 4 rounds, but on steroids). I can't guarantee that all of the tickets for the schools are lowers, but a good number are. That doesn't mean they are all good seats however.

where did you get this information. I just was online going through the process to see how it worked and it said I had a ticket. Said nothing about none being available. My question on this was does the person presenting the student id and credit card have to match the student id. I cant go but my brother could.

Friend of mine was a student at VCU, he gave his ID to his brother and he got in. If your brother looks anything like you, it shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know how close they will check.

[swem]

surely for 2800 people they wouldnt take the time to check and make sure each id matched the person using it

That is only for students. Everyone else just has to follow normal Will Call procedure.

Got my 2 tix!! Im only in my 5th year as a season ticket holder and I'm up near the top of Koch, so I didn't know if they would get down to me on the priority list. That's good news for most season ticket holders. I wonder if any will be turned down?

[shocks02]

Friend of mine was a student at VCU, he gave his ID to his brother and he got in. If your brother looks anything like you, it shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know how close they will check.

We have 3 in our group who are using other IDs. Needless to say if they are checking them hard you won't be the only one with a problem.

Does anyone know if the tickets are for the entire final four, or just the Saturday session? The email didn't say.

[dregn]

All sessions so Saturday and Monday

Here is my post from another thread if this is any help :

Here's a link to the Georgia Dome : http://www.gadome.com/events_ticketi...l/1304077.aspx

All kinds of interesting links/facts, scrolling down the page there is a seating chart, capacity of the GD is north of 70k. I was wondering if they were going to fill it to capacity or close off some of the upper areas. It looks like the NCAA has chosen the maximum cash grab theory however. On the brighter side I see there is a Taco Mac above Section 209, whatever that is. What the heck, it's a bucket list thing.

EDIT:
Here is a quote from an article about last years regional (2012) and the seating capacity, "For Friday's and Sunday's games, the court has been installed on one end of the Georgia Dome, and about half of the 72,000-seat stadium will be curtained off from view, virtually the same setup as for the SEC basketball tournament here last year(2011). But for next season's Final Four -- the dates are April 6 and 8, 2013 -- the court will be installed in the center of the stadium, and all seats will be used".
