Where Do You Buy ACC Tournament Tickets?

sylvianlight · 03-07-2010, 04:21 PM

Lots of places sell them, but I just wanted to get some other options first. Most places sell them at inflated prices. I mainly want to see Duke play but can't go Friday so will have to assume Duke will beat the #8/#9 seed.

Apparently games are sold by 2 game tickets, so you see 2 games for each ticket. From there it goes from Session 1(first 2 games), Session 2(next 2 games),etc and you can see when the team you like plays by looking at the schedule. Duke will play in session 3 and if they win session 5. Then there is the championship game.

I heard some schools sell extra tickets to the public. Has anyone ever bought tickets this way before? I imagine UNC isn't jumping on those championship tickets. Maybe if I call and pretend to be a Maryland fan they'll sell them to me. j/k.

Has anyone already bought their ACC tickets? If so where, how much and how much over face vaue.

I'm betting that schools sell them to their alumni with preference given to those who support the school financially with highest preference based on the generosity of that support.....just a guess though.

You can buy them on stubhub.com right now, and the price isn't to bad ($62 a piece). Probably can't see much though.

As far as getting them thru the schools, for Wake you have to be a member of the Gold club, and a fairly high ranking one (give the school a lot of money). Students probably get some discounts though.

I went ahead and got some on eBay. They're upper level but not behind the basket. 165$ after shipping for tickets that are 144$ face value. Not too bad I guess.

If Duke loses on Friday, I have tickets for sale Saturday :/
