(i slept with my phone next to my head last night. got probably 2 hours of sleep. dreamt that my sister and i switched phones... between the tix and the fact that im sick...it was a long night)

Haha, I was dreaming last night that they were calling me to let me know I had tickets but they couldn't hear me on the other end. Then I was stuck in traffic on my way to the game, then lost my wallet at the will call window. Woke up in a cold sweat.

When I called yesterday afternoon I talked to some girl and she confirmed I was would be getting tickets but didn't know how many. Said I would be getting a call that night. Nothing yet.

Just got back from campus -I received confirmation of three tix for Thur- I am an alum and longtime season ticket holder-15 years plus- So excited and wish you all good luck in getting tix- Us "OLD PEOPLE" will represent and will be loud-The bookstore was a madhouse- On the way home I heard Coach on the Jim Rome show- I love this -I'M out

does anyone know how the view is from section 208, row M? how far back in 208 will that put me?

PS guys you're great to talk to, much nicer than other message boards i've visited, especially when people find out i'm from illinois

I would say that any seat is better than no seat. I went to the arena website and 208 is an upper corner section, and row M sounds like it be in the middle or top. They don't have any pics of the inside or anything so it's hard to tell exactly what the view would be like. Good luck finding tickets!!

The message at the ticket office doesn't actually say how many tickets go to who but we did hear it on the news and I heard it from people I work with (I work in a department on campus).

I went to both Cleveland games and both times Brian had lists. On Saturday night I went to the Sheridan Hotel for the "celebration party" and Brian had a list there that he signed me up on.

Has anyone checked out Ebay for tickets? They're going for thousands of dollars. The cheapest package of 2 tickets I found was over $300. Crazy.

Poor, I drove up and stayed somewhere other than the hotel....thats bunk that list was there!

[portrgirl]

I know that does suck - we almost didn't drag our butts over there that night too.

From what I heard... if you were in Cleveland for the game(s) then you're already on a "list" since I heard that they would be calling everyone on the lists for the Cleveland games and asking if they want tickets. I'm not sure how much truth there is to this as of today - it sounds like you had to sign up again to be considered for tickets.

[DunneDeal]

Yeah.....thats Poor!

I stopped in at the ticket office on monday and they told me they would know for sure about tickets later that night, I recieved no call. Has anyone been given word on tickets?

[jvaldon]

harker just told me no one has been called yet and they should start soon. wow, this takes them a long time, but hopefully they are taking so long to make sure they get it right

[portrgirl]

yes, I decided to come out from under my hiding rock.

[jvaldon]

Calls for those recieveing tickets will starts around 5:00 pm tonight

Straight from my man nate harker those recieveing tickets will begin to be called at 5:00 pm tonight. He also told me that the only students recieveing tickets will be the ones that went to the game(s) in Cleveland. (i dont know if they had to be on the list after the bc game or not)

Good Luck everyone. i hope we all get tickets...but my hoping doesnt really count for squat. some people are probably gonna get left behind.

I sure hope they give a good chunk of the tickets to the students not just to alumni that hold season tickets. It is a game for the students and the students are the noise makers at the games.
I know madison takes heat from the students not giving them enough tickets. Look at Michigan State and Duke games it is all about the students. They let the student section eat up all of the valuable courtside seats.

Does any one know if these tickets for Thursday will be good for Saturday? I assume not, but I thought somewhere on the board someone said something about it.
