How hard is it to get tickets?  I'm thinking about it.

I think secondary market will be very reasonable given the teams participating.

The secondary market is already way overpriced, avoid it until the absolute last minute.

Duke and Kentucky fans don't have tickets to unload, they weren't released to them yet. They only tickets they could have ate the limited ones from MSG PSL holders that have been on the market since weeks before Selection Sunday.

The three things you should do are
1. Keep checking ticketmaster regularly for more tickets to be released.
2. Get on the K-State list
3. Contact FAU ticket office

If none of those things work then and only then hit the secondary market on Thursday afternoon, the prices will come down then, they'll remain at a 100-200% markup until then.

Oh damn didn’t realize Ticketmaster hadn’t blow their load yet for the regional.

This is what kstate email says fwiw

“This request is for both the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 rounds, and only the sessions in which K-State plays.”   I read that as you only get to watch one game on Thursday if you go thru the ticket office but I could be wrong.

I can't say for sure but I bet some Duke and Kentucky fans (and others) snatched up some secondary market tix once the brackets were announced under the assumption that they would go way up if both Duke and Kentucky made it

You are wrong. They just copied the language from the opening round games where first round games are two sessions of 2 games at each site and second round is a single session of 2 games. Sweet 16 games are 2 games, 1 session.

The other sellers say both games are included. The idea that they could get people to leave between games doesn't make much sense to me.

That’s good, $125 for two games is a great deal if they can be secured through the ticket office.

Tickets through the ticket office are charged by round/session. They only charge for the regional championship if we win on Thursday.

Just be aware you will automatically need to pay $125 again for the Elite Eight after we kick the ever loving crap out of Sparty and then it will be for just one game. This happened to me when we played in Charlotte and I couldn't go to the second round.

Also tbh the $150 for lower level is the real steal

Yep. That's mandated by the NCAA. I believe the winning schools have the first option of buying some or all of the tickets from the losing school.

Those of you locals interested in going to T-Mobile for the KC regional, there are secondary tickets much cheaper than face value right now, $200 all session tickets on the lower level. If you haven't gone to the NCAA tournament or a regional final and semifinal you should, it's amazing and that regional is on the opposite days as the east regional.

So like, logistically speaking, does the team fly from North Carolina back to Kansas for like a day then fly out to NYC? Seems like it would make more sense just to go straight to NYC

There's a slim possibility I'll have an extra (if my request is successful).

Don't know where to Pak around MSG tbh. The KSU watch parties were at a bar about a 10 minute walk from MSG but there's like a billion generic bars closer. Everyone should get together somewhere though! Either at an official KSU or unofficial goEMAW meetup.

Cool, let me know. I probably will wait until game day to snag a ticket otherwise.

If he’s got a level above what he played at the first weekend, we may win the whole thing.
