Tournament Ticket Opinions

[hhcdave]

Update on my situation from a couple of weeks ago.

My Mom (lifetime Nebraskan) is going to be joining me on the trip to watch the Huskers - no matter where they go!!!

 

Three quick things (two questions).

 

1. Assuming we win ZERO (9 seed?) or ONE (8 seed?) game in the Big 10 Tournament, we end up in either Memphis, Charlotte or Brooklyn. Does anyone think we can get to the 7 line with TWO wins and if so, does that basically mean we could literally go almost anywhere?

 

2. I'm going to be buying TWO all session tickets to wherever we go. IN YOUR OPINION - is the BEST TIME to do this the INSTANT our site gets announced, or will scalpers already have them jacked way up at that point expecting there to be a panic rush? AKA, would you look to buy them Sunday at 5:30 PM or wait a day or two to get them? Trying to decide what best time would be for price points.

 

3. If anyone wants my Omaha tickets (pair, $1800, 6 rows up from court along baseline) I will be selling them for what I paid (which was $1,800). I bought them in case Nebraska ended up in Omaha thinking they'd double in price - but since that appears a longshot, I'll be selling them. Doubt anyone here wants them but just in case.

 

Interested in hearing your thoughts.

Creighton losing and Iowa St winning could be enough to flip Iowa St to a 2 seed and give Nebraska a shot at Omaha if they flip to a 7 or 10. Possibly could flip Drake there as well for resale value.

Will be good intel for those who want to travel to see Nebraska in the NCAA tournament in 2025, 2026, 2027, etc.

Honestly, NU could end up anywhere from a 6 - 9 seed depending on how far they go in Big 10 tournament.  So no way to know where they might end up.

Looking at teams above us I just dont see a 6 seed as possible.  7 frankly is going to be tough. Lose today and maybe a 10 would be possible.

I think we can get to a 7 if we win 1, for sure if we win 2. Don’t see us dropping to a 10 though as we seem like a solid 8 right now. Hope we do can do it as a 7 seed is a lot better

I’m at a fundraiser so very distracted. But we purchased session 2 tickets. Is that our game? Houston first session?

Times will be announced later. Nebraska-Texas A&M and Houston-Longwood will be in the same session. New Mexico-Clemson and Baylor-Colgate will be the other session's games Friday in Memphis.

I’d guess we’re the second session? The other Memphis bracket does not have nearly as exciting of matchups.

I agree. Baylor vs. Colgate want have a lot of eyeballs on it.
