It was very easy to use and if we are not in it those fanbases are pretty good about buying up everything available. never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Reason why: the NCAA makes the shcools buy the tickets in their block for both rounds. And it was the same gig for Providence in '10. Last Edited: 3/19/2012 4:02:28 PM by D.A.

I am not sure why they couldn't give you  both on Friday.  Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

No it wasn't, for those games you only got the 2nd game if your team won its first.  But for this setup you get the 2nd game (Elite Eight) tickets no matter how your team does.  That's an entirely different process.

Online, or through the Ohio ticket office?  My synapses may be disjointed, but I seem to recall being automatically charged for round two tics in '10.  Could be wrong, though.

If you buy your tickets from Ticketmaster, they are generally sold as a "strip" or weekend set.  So you do get all games at the site for the weekend.  For example, a "strip" for last weekend would have included three sessions.   Session 1: Cincy/Texas and Florida State/St Bonnie Session 2: Ohio/Michigan and Temple/USF Session 3: Ohio/USF and Cincy/FSU If you bought through the school (Ohio)...you were ONLY sold Session 2.   ONLY if Ohio won, were you billed for Session 3.  You only paid for tickets to sessions Ohio played in.  This was the same for 2010. For this weekend, there are two sessions: Session 1: Ohio/UNC and NCST/Kansas Session 2: Winners play for Final Four trip This time, we are required to buy both sessions upfront.  So we have tickets for Sunday even if Ohio does not advance.  However, it sounds like we cannot pickup Session 2 tickets until 90 minutes before the Sunday game.  That limits opportunity to unload the tickets should we lose Friday night and want to return home.  We're in the Sweet Sixteen, so no complaints.  But would be nice to get Sunday's tickets on Friday so we have options.
