Game 32: (A-10 Tournament, Washington, DC) UMass, Thursday, March 8th, 2:30 PM, NBCSN

[GSII]

Anyone have recommendations on buying single session tickets? I'm not seeing the greatest seats (not terrible but in the corners of the lower bowl) on Ticketmaster and Stubhub. Would it be better to try to get tickets day of at the box office/scalpers or just get the crappier tickets and try to move down?

You are not allowed in the building until you change your profle pic of that loser virus program killer.

Do we know yet what sections the Mason bloc is assigned?

From the Patriot Club: Thursday tickets are general admission, with sections 112, 113, 114 assigned to Mason for the Friday (and hopefully, beyond) games. Single game tickets for Thursday are available now through the Mason ticket office ($35 per).

FYI... if you plan on buying a single session through Mason, hurry up and buy. I had talked to my Mason ticket rep earlier today and he said at the rate people were buying, he was predicting Mason’s allotment would sell out today. So if there are some left, there’s probably not much left.

This is just for Thursday I take it? I can only make Friday if we win.

Kinda surprised. The Thursday game is general admission. I would think that if the Mason allotment "sells out" then the tickets allocated to other schools that aren't all sold, would be distributed to whatever school wants more.

Maybe I've gotten used to the old CAA days, but I can't believe they are going to have a full house for 2 games between 4 middle-of-the-pack teams.

Not way there's going to be 20,000 in there for GMU and vcu.
But if it is packed, they really need to seriously look at D.C. as a site more often used....too many teams within easy driving/train distance to D.C. (St. Joes, La Salle, GW, GMU, Richmond, vcu) that's almost half the conference right there. Imagine what would happen if that's your top 6?

Sorry, but calling BS...

I wish the pregame at Iron Horse started earlier than noon, I want to go cheer against vcu...

The more people the merrier, let’s make it a mason home game when they play.

I went on the NBCSports app this morning and looked up the upcoming live game schedule and there is no listings of any of the A10 tournament games. I was kind of hoping to use the app to watch at work. Anyone know where they will be showing the game on-line via website or app?

Why would I make this up?

I don't think anyone thinks YOU are lying. more like the Mason people... just wait for Thursday when there is 500 of us there and half our section is empty.

Exactly, calling BS on the G Mas ticket folks. That place is going to be empty. Can't, unfortunately, even get a good crowd at Patriot Center. Fans are going to show up downtown?

 

[GMUSig03]

Check both the ap (on tablet or smart phone/tv) and the website - there can be differences between the two in terms of what is available for streaming.

May also just not be listed yet since the field was just finalized on Saturday.

If the first round of the ACC tourney is half empty (which it always is), then the A10 will be as well.

 

[Washingtonian]

Does anyone know what the allotment was? In the CAA days, we were about to get a good idea of who sat where in advance and the amount of tickets each school got.

I never understand why these tournaments are played in such big arenas. It's a bad look.

watched the Horizon League semifinals last night which is played in Detroit in the NBA arena. About 45 people there. Also each band had about 8-12 members. it was horrible

Not sure about other conferences but by rule in the A10, you need big arenas to ensure all member teams' fans have a chance to see their team if they want. Also, the semifinals and finals never have too many if any empty seats for the A10.

If a URI fan bought tickets for the entire tournament but they happened to get knocked out of the tournament the first game they play to let's say La Salle, then they would just sell those tickets to willing buyers of La Salle fans who did not plan on going initially.

Also helps that the game is on national network TV on CBS.

I don't know LCIII. There are too many teams in this league that don't draw or have large fan bases. I thought the Atlantic City location was good for the A10 tourney. They are way out of their league in an NBA arena IMO. You don't need to play in a 20,000 seat arena just to have 10k to 12k empties best case scenario.
