Omaha Tickets

[tmmroy]

WTF?! Did you Jays fans actually pay $300 for these tickets or something similar that would make the cheap seat all session tickets costing $550 (http://www.ticketliquidator.com/tix/Tickets.aspx?evtid=631923) reasonable?

I was thinking that I hoped that Drake would be seated in Omaha, it's in conference, good folks, etc. No need to try to decide between 11 hour drives and flying.

IT'S THE SAME PRICE TO FLY TO DENVER AND GET SEATS THERE RELATIVE TO DRIVING AND GETING SEATS FROM OMAHA!

One sec while I calm down.

Serious question now, Jay's fans, did they really cost that much to begin with? Because I simply won't be able to go if Drake gets to Omaha, so now I'm curious as to what the heck happened.

Omaha only has the 7-10 games and the 2-15 games. Consequently, unless they get hosed and get a 7 seed I don't see them going to Omaha.

[drakeguy]

I might be wrong on that, I just saw ESPN had a 6-11 3-14 game there as well.

[tmmroy]

Where'd you learn that? I have yet to find anything that suggests the seeds are locked in yet, at least as far as which sites get what seeds(I've been looking), and I swear I remember at least one ESPN.com bracketology report from back when we were on the winning streak that had us in Omaha with a 4-5 seed.

[drakeguy]

I am looking to try and make sure any or all of that is accurate.

I'm going to make a new thread quoting all of this, because I think everyone here assumes we're talking about buying or selling tickets.

If I recall correctly, my two lower bowl tix cost a total of $336 after all the BS fees and taxes. I also think that all tix cost the same no matter what you got. I also think that there were about 9,000-10,000 available seats after NCAA hold backs and we bought them all up pronto. Man, were the Husker fans PO'ed when they didn't get a shot at tickets!!

Nobody knows which seeds will be sent to Omaha until the pairings are announced. Not being a ******** but I wouldn't assume that you or most Drake fans would know that. Also, the "pod" system went into effect a few years ago so one bracket could be Midwest and the other from East, West or South.

I knew about the pod system, as I follow the Hawks. I just never paid attention to the sites and seeds. I saw it posted on several forums that Omaha was 2-15 and 7-10. I assumed it to be true with the bracketology I say on ESPN. Then I checked today, and realized every thing not just teams and seeds were assumptions only.
