OU selling tickets?

Posted: 3/14/2021 4:25:25 PM

Obviously, seating capacity at each site will be greatly reduced. Anyone know if OU will be selling tickets to Bobcat Club members?

I assume if it is, the details would come out tomorrow. Just trying to gauge if it's instead better to jump online immediately after announcements to get tickets through the NCAA.

Would love to sit in a Bobcat section, though of course I don't want to sit super close to anyone, either...

Minimal update here to my own thread:

The NCAA ticketing page is saying, "General public tickets are not available. Attendance will be limited to players and player guests."

Out of all the venues this is the worst one we could have drawn. I never even thought they would send us there. Oh well.

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

You can say that again. Brutal.

I wonder if they put us there knowing no spectators due to Virginia having existing COVID concerns? Minimize exposure and all that. We already know they pushed the game as late as possible Saturday to give them more time to get out of quarantine and test negative.

Gut punch to draw the only site not allowing fans. You kidding me?

Tickets at Hinkle are too rich for my blood at this point anyway. The great hope was Lucas Oil. Prices in the secondary market are reasonable for those games.

I was prepared to drop some serious cash for tickets. Totally sucks but oh well.

Same. Cost wasn't the issue. It was all about availability. Then they made that decision for all of us.

Assuming they split the 500 evenly between us and UVA, we get 250. Better have lots and lots of Bobcat Club points for the few tickets that might be available. I guess I should have bought the Convo naming rights. :)

New game show: Have Michigan play UVA at Hinkle, only make 2 tickets available and see which school has a lawyer pony up five figures for a seat first.

Seat Wars.

Interesting. They put Creightom and UCSB (play winner of OU/VA) in Lucas Stadium. Those ticket prices are falling. Decent lower levels for $100-150 and probably will go lower. Stub hub has over 900 seats listed.

If Ohio can beat VA, the 2nd round tickets should be reasonable and might be at or below Face Value for UCSB/Ohio matchup on a Monday afternoon.

Most expensive ticket right now appears to be Illinois. To get in the door: $450 per ticket plus fees

Conspiracy theory: IU didn�t allow fans because they feared the NCAA would put Purdue in Assembly Hall, filling their arena with Boilermaker fans.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Due to guidance from their local health officials, Assembly Hall is limiting attendance to 204 tickets per team plus 100 UI Health Care workers and will not be offering any general public ticket sales.

If you become one of the lucky ones to get into Assembly Hall, you gotta love that attendee to health care worker ratio.

Illinois is driving the resale market big time. We saw it with the Big Ten Tournament this weekend and is a fanbase that will come over the lines heavy. The good news is Gonzaga is the potential Sweet 16 if we get that far, which is my way of saying that inventory should be more available.

That said, The Sweet 16 is going to be between Hinkle and Bankers Life. Inventory will again be very tight to get and darn near impossible if we get that far.

When you are watching on TV, wait until you see who is in the stands -> and then we can do a separate thread on people leeching tickets that have no business having them. I suspect you will see the same do-nothing faculty, administration, and townspeople that have slurped up the tickets that should have gone to worthy donors.

Do we know when they announce times and venue? This third shifter is praying early as possible.
