Question about Valley Tournament

[Play Angry]

Sitting in the middle of the WSU block helps when you stand for defense for the first 10 minutes of a game. They can't force an entire section to sit down.

lol I have had this issue a few times with almost entirely empty sections of other teams' fans. One fat Evansvillain almost came to blows because the usher just shrugged when I said it wasn't our fault Missouri State couldn't score after about 8 minutes of play.

Sitting with WSU fans is amazing. Sitting at center court courtesy of the scalpers is amazing. The only option that sucks is taking whatever the ticket window sticks you with on gameday.

Buying scalped tickets was fine and dandy when I was a poor college kid or poor just out of college kid and we never made it out of game 1 or 2...and I know a lot of people who buy scalped ones for the very reason of not wanting to be stuck in the corner of the end zone. I purchase the all session passes and get decent seats now and due to the fact that I can sell the sessions I don't attend and make half my money back. It ends up being much cheaper to buy the all session for $139. The last couple of years I've sold Thursday tickets for $20 each and the session we don't play in on Friday for $40 - $50 each...so we attend 3 sessions for a total of $69 per person....much cheaper than you'll normally find good scalped tickets for. Heck, a few years ago when Drake made the finals I sold 8 tickets to the Sunday game alone for $1000. Drake fans didn't have a clue what Sunday tickets should be worth..lol

I bought my Final Four tickets from the University and of course got both sessions. I used my guardian number and had great seats, I am embarrassed about how much we sold them to lewisville fans for...lets just say that we paid for our whole trip, lol.

Sounds similar to my experience in Atlanta. I was besieged with Louisville and Michigan fans trying to purchase my ticket. I ended up selling the championship ticket to a Michigan alum who said he worked on Wall Street (I almost dropped a turd); I just love it when someone flashes a ‘gigantic’ wad of Benjamin’s and says “just name your price”. It sure took some of the sting out of the loss. :)

Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about... (True Story) TSA and Federal Marshalls pulled me aside when I went through screening at the ATL airport on my way home...that's all I got to say about that.

Marty, did you convert the Benjamins to rolls of quarters and stuff them in your pants? Again? :)

[pogo]

It wasn't quarters and they weren't in his pants.

[Heinro]

I too was at the Final 4. It was obsurd, besides the $. Before Syracuse and Michigan even got on the court to start warming up, you already had dudes offering hundreds for them.

I think that Shockers fans have found out the best way to get good seats for the money is to not pre-buy.
