Tuesday is sold out.

Completely false, do you not know how to use the Ticketmaster site or did you just make that up.

You're right. Single tickets still available. Couldn't get 2 together though.

Sounds it's close to a sell out.




Call the Sprint Center box office if you're looking for pairs.

 :lol:

Who cares if somebody else gets a better deal than you do? The people bitching in this thread are just like the dumbass football season ticket holders who bitched last year about Currie offering $99 season tickets as a one time deal. This sounds like a great deal and it's sure to sell out the Sprint Center, something KSU has never even come close to doing.

this won't have any impact at all.   my guess is that most students are waiting for the tickets to hit the sub $3 mark.

True. Maybe they should tell students at KU and Pitt State that they can get in for $5 with their student ID's, too. We'd probably get more of them to show up than our shitty students.

you'd be better off paying the extra $20 to sit in the lower level.

upper deck at sprint center is awful (unless you bring the hubble telescope)

just another jab at our cacty student support.   good job guys, i hope eventually you start hearing the message that the rest of our fanbase has been sending your dumbasses. 

$5 too much?  i bet it is you lazy hayseeds.
Nobody said these were leftover student tickets they decided to drop the price on because they couldn't sell them, they're just regular cacty seats that now a bunch of students will be able to pay for because they're cheap if you bring your id.
 
actually, i got a note handed to me today that said just that...students were being cheap, lazy hayseeds and weren't buying tickets.  it also said that the majority of students were terrible fans and that even @ $5 the CBE organizers had no faith in any students showing up to support the q'@ts

pretty embarrassing for someone like myself who bragged to CBE organizers about how this tourney would sell out with no problem.  good job students, make a joke of us all.

Hell, if we can't even sell out tickets to a #1 vs #3 matchup in the fancy new KC venue, we are mumped.  No way Frank puts up with that crap. I hear Miami is nice this time of year...

IMO, this reflects poorly on KC as a "college basketball town".  If you live in a "college basketball town" you show up to watch a tournament where 3 of the 4 teams are ranked in the top 13. 

Good luck getting regional finals rounds of the NCAA Tourney you f*cking undeserving losers. :flush:  Enjoy watching Holy Cross play Kentucky followed by UNI vs. Rhode Island in the first round every 4-10 years.

Petro was talking about this last week. He called bullshit on all the KC people who claim to be "college basketball fans" and said if they were then the CBE would have no issues selling out year after year.

Yeah this is bull crap. Christ, how is $40 even too much for people with a college degree. What the eff are you doing with you money? 

As for Students? Jesus, how often in your college career are you going to get to see us be in the top 5 and possibly playing the #1 team, AND it not be KU....

I talked to the Sprint Center box office today and they told me it would be a limited amount in the "end zone" seating areas. They also told me "one ticket per ID and they can't promise that you will get requested seating next to someone."

They sound very sketchy for the students who have already bought tickets. I've also heard the seats in the end zone are terrible for viewing a basketball game.

I went last year (and each of the 4 years before that) and now think I might know what's going on. 

They are trying to create the appearance of a student section for TV.  They did this with Wichita State last year, and to my recollection was the first time I noticed this at the CBE.  I sat right behind them.  The seats are near the tunnel to the locker rooms in the corner iirc.  Maybe 200 students.

Could be wrong, but I do faintly recall this student section mirage.

Just did some fiddling around on ticketmaster, looks like lower level is sold out for the Monday games, best seats were section 227 row 11 (Northwest corner), and those were $25 seats.

Tickets to the games on Tuesday are not available in pairs, there are no seats together. AIN'T NO SEATS!

Still works for Monday's Games.

Also took 3 different Sprint Center ticket office employees before one even acknowledged these $5 walk-up tickets existed.

They said that they were going to hold 300 tickets for K-State students to do this. You can pick them up at the ticket office at the SC @ anytime with a KSU ID. I'd go early tomorrow and try. That'd be your best bet.
