NCAA Tickets

[nighthawk]

Any ideas on how many tickets will be awarded to UWM? All the first round sites are sold out so the only alternitive is to go through a scalper.

We need to have a huge showing where ever they end up playing.

Go Panthers!!!

UWM will get some tickets (don't know exactly how many), but don't worry about "not getting into the game". There are always tickets to be had - somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if UWM put together some kind of "fan trip" But even if they don't, I am sure we will hear something about tickets on the Bruce Pearl TV show on Sunday night. If you are really worried about it, call LaVar or Brian in the ticket office, I am sure they could answer any questions you have.

I think the allotment was 750 in Indianapolis two years ago.

Talking to Bruce at Turners, he seems to think it's going to be Indianapolis or Cleveland. I'm hoping for Indy ... closer and just an awesome sight to see UWM playing in front of 20,000+ in a dome. Plus tickets will be easier to get and wouldn't have to get them from a scalper.

Lou said something about getting together a fan bus for the NCAAs last night. When he sobers up I'll let him explain it further. ;D

Good to hear, I was going to see if there's going to be a bus/carpool.

I have no idea who I was talking to at the time. Was it Milt? It is very possible that I was drunk.

Anyway, there was some discussion about a bus sponsored by the students and maybe a few corporate sponsors. I think Carmel Builders can chip in some to help make that happen.


However, I want to drive the bus.

so does anyone have some details on tickets? how much and whatnot? also if we do get tickets do we get to see all games for that session or is it only UWM?

[PantherLou]

Mike, I think you'll have to wait until next Monday to get specific details on that.

[mikeb]

thanks, thats what i figured but i was just asking because it seems as though there are some connections with the ticket office on the boards

The first round games are broken into two sessions ... afternoon and evening ... which have separate tickets. There are two games per session, so four overall on the day. You would need to buy two separate tickets in order to goto all four.

Milt and I were both there. Witnesses. No way I would ever step in a bus you were driving, or even a car.

yeah, I knew about the sessions from the bradley center 2 years ago but i just wasnt sure if the tickets the school sells are all session or are just for our game

Nope. Same thing.

[Womack]

Hey Hoff, Lou and all others....I really do have my CBL to drive a bus...I will for sure drive our asses down to the game ;D ;D ;D

Thats right Womack has his CBL and will get us down there in no time...

I want in for whoever is going....I have the whole weekend off and am ready to rock n roll

Lou, you were talking to milt and I. You didn't seem that messed up, but anyways

Here is the DEAL:

SB&GC will donate/sponsor a coach bus to the NCAA tourney with all the money (300 or so) they have so it doesn't get put into the general tresury for the school. Obvioulsy the bus will be more than $300 so the donation, and others will lessen the cost to those attending. We could potentially sort out the die hards to recieve the first seats offered on the bus, filling up the rest if need be.

oh yeah, the 3 hrs of sleep i got last night before work this morning, yeah, that was sweet!
