Captain Kangaroo Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 I may or may not be able to get tickets via UA. Anyone with tickets already secured know which arena side or section is Akron's? I don't want to buy in VCU's student section. Quote
LZIp Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 I wonder how many tickets VCU is being allotted? Will they even have a student section? Will we even be able to have a student section with only 500 available?? Ugh..so disappointed about the ticket situation. Quote
akzipper Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 I wonder how many tickets VCU is being allotted? Will they even have a student section? Will we even be able to have a student section with only 500 available?? Ugh..so disappointed about the ticket situation. 8 teams play in Auburn Hills. Each school deserves at least 2500 tickets, meaning Akron got cheated big time. I sure as **** guarantee Michigan is going to have more than 500 tickets. I won't be making the trip but I can't help but feel like the Zips just can't catch a break. Drawing VCU was cruel enough, then teasing us by putting the game in Detroit with no tickets. Quote
BirdZip Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 I found it quite easy to buy tickets online through Ticketmaster, as I believe others have said as well. Actually, it seemed easier this year than 2 years ago for Chicago. Won't be all bunched up with everyone else, but we'll be in the arena. Can't expect everything to be perfect. Take what you can get and enjoy the ride. Quote
zen Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 The only sections that were left on Ticketmaster this morning were the nosebleeds behind the baskets. Everything else listed as sold out Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 I sucked it up and bought "decent" seat on stub hub for about $100 each. If by some miracle I get selected in the UA lottery, I will sell my stub hub tickets. The prices are only going to go up and I am sure as hell not getting let out of this one. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Hoping to get in with the meager student ticket allotment. I stood in ice freezing rain for an hour this morning before work just to be able to sign my name on a piece of paper that goes into a lottery. Quote
RowdyZip Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Does anybody know if there is an alumni or fan charter bus happening? I have a couple friends that won't commit unless we can pay for a ride up/back? Maybe someone looking to carpool out there? Quote

I would be very disappointed if there wasn't something. Quote

How did you get tickets for 100 I went on that sight and the cheapest was 213. We are waiting to see if we got tickets should know tomorrow. We may not go no place to stay When we went to Chicago we stayed in the same hotel as the team and it was great. They had a breakfast with the team etc. Guess they will not have that this time. as an aside. One of the espn announcers, ex coach, said he did not understand how VCU got in the tournament. Thought that was interesting. Saving my money to see the team in TX when they win Thurs and Sat. GO ZIPS!!!! Quote
RowdyZip Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 We've had fan busses for places farther than Auburn Hills. I would be very disappointed if there wasn't something. I would've thought they would, but seeing the last offer of student tickets and still no rumblings about a bus for fans OR students, I'm guessing we're on our own because of the shorter trip. I'm not concerned about the distance, I'm concerned about the tip time. The game will likely end around midnight, putting drivers back in OH by about 3:30AM. Maybe a last second hotel nearby is the solution. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Posted March 19, 2013 Section 111. Me and da kid. Couldn't wait any longer for UA. Stub Hub has plenty of seats. Michigan fans will leave after their game, and I'm sure you can sit anywhere you want at 10pm. Quote
GoZips Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 The Athletic Department and the Ticket Office are scrambling to buy up any allotted tickets that other schools do not use. Akron's original allotment (same as the other seven schools) was 550 tickets. Best bet: buy your tickets through Stub Hub or Ticket(got you by the nads)Master. Cheap place to stay. The Days Inn at Fifteen Mile and Van Dyke. Seedy, comfortable and cheap. King size beds, 260 channel cable TV and a small in your room fridge and free Wi-Fi. Off street parking hidden from the prowlers. A safe place to lodge. Recommended by GoZips. And easy, walk across the parking lot to a nice Tim Horton's. Quote
