What are the dates??

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 8 years ago

I called yesterday. Tickets should go on sale at about the same time as last year which was Friday September 11th.
Should be the weekend before Thanksgiving based on last year's tournament

How much for good seats?

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 8 years ago

Awesome! Can't believe they are having us play Cinci first. They'd typically have the small A-10 school go up against The top team i the tournament, but i guess they realized that Penn State sucks and URI and Cinci are more on the same level. So now we get a chance to get a marquee win and then knock off Duke in the championship.

Can someone confirm if this is actually the first game of the season for URI or if URI is bringing in some creampuffs like Maine or UNH first for a beat down. I would like a couple tune up games before we have to play Cincy.

I'd imagine they will host a creampuff on Friday Nov 11 or Saturday Nov 12 like they usually do and maybe another one at home mid week before the tip off tournament next weekend.

Careful what you wish for...Wildcats came closer to the NCAAT than Rhody did...

We will probably play two or three games before that tournament. Two of the teams are going to be either, Albany, Marist, Grand Canyon or Brown.

RhowdyRam02 · Unread post by **RhowdyRam02** » 8 years ago

There's no indication we'll be playing Brown as part of this tournament as of now. Also, we've played them at all different points of the non conference schedule, including as a home opener in the Ryan Center era.

Any idea if the tip off classic games will be part of the season tickets?

Just to let you know Grand Canyon was 23-6 this year and had a better RPI then URI. They are coached by former NBA player Dan Majerle.

Seawrightspostgame · Unread post by **Seawrightspostgame** » 8 years ago

Then go on the Grand Canyon board.

I believe the two on campus games will be. The two Mohegan games should be separate.

I believe TruePoint's objection is due to Grand Canyon's for profit model.

Dream scenario: GCU and Brown.
No excuses.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 8 years ago

I have no inside information on this but I will almost guarantee we don't play Brown as part of the Tourney. It will be a separate home.

:/
Brown probably wouldn't agree to play with us so they could go play @Duke and @Cinci or Penn state as well as getting to play us as usual.
3 games where they can be on the big stage just to get their ass beat.

We will probably play Albany and Marist.
Hopefully we can play GCU though for RPI purposes

Tickets go on sale Sept 9th, I'm trying to figure out pricing for both days. Low end appear to be $10 and $25 but I think that's for each day. Does anybody know for sure?

RhodysRelevant · Unread post by **RhodysRelevant** » 7 years ago

Fingers crossed i'm not working dying to get to at least one of the games there.

Hal Kopp · Unread post by **Hal Kopp** » 7 years ago

CT Rhody-where can we buy tickets on the 9th?

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 7 years ago

I'm gonna get a Rhody crew to cross the border to Casino land. I'm pumped. Does anyone know if you can stay in the arena after the first game to watch the second game?

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 7 years ago

I believe the ticket are good for both games. At least it was last time

Blue Man · Unread post by **Blue Man** » 7 years ago

The games are 19th and 20th at Mohegan, and I believe the other home games are part of the season ticket package.

There was a request period for donors for the Mohegan tickets, and they were $150/session for courtside, $75/session for the lower court bowl, $25/session for the endzone bowl, and $15/session for up top.

Looks like the donors were all put in that $75 category, so if you put in with that you'll be with me, the wifey, studs, atp, uri96, mich st and im sure a few others.

As a dedicated Mohegan gambler I have gotten free tickets in the past as an enticement to gamble.....I hope I get that offer again this year...

Rhody15 · Unread post by **Rhody15** » 7 years ago

Does anyone know if the 65 dollar price tag for the lower level is 65 dollars per day, or 65 dollars total for the four games Rhody Cincy Penn St Duke are involved in?

$65 per day. Fees and what not got it up to $75 for me. Each ticket is good for both games on that day.

I just realized if you have a citi card then you can take part of the pre sale that's going on now. I'm buying my tickets tonight. Not many seats left if what is showing as open is all that is left.

CT Rhody · Unread post by **CT Rhody** » 7 years ago

Just booked my tickets for the game, all eleven tickets in all. Trying to get some people to become URI fans! There wasn't much selection left, I'm at midcourt but 3rd and 2nd last rows in the arena and that's the best I could get.

Roz · Unread post by **Roz** » 7 years ago

For people without the citi card do the tickets go on sale Sept 9th or 19th? On the site I saw both dates on different pages.

Martyf250 · Unread post by **Martyf250** » 7 years ago

Where are you buying tickets? the Mohegan website says they do not go on sale until 9/9 at 10am

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 7 years ago

I heard tickets went on sale the 19th???

It's definitely today...not sure what will be available though.

Interesting that their are better seats available today then there were during the presale.. The $10 corner seats first few rows second tier are a great deal. Hopefully the college students see those and scoop them up.

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 7 years ago

Just bought 5 tickets baby! There is a spot on the mohegan website that still says Monday sept. 19 which threw me off, but I'm pumped.

Usually for presales like that there are just certain seats or sections held back.

Those $10 seats are clutch, just got 3. Should be a great weekend.

Only thing that pisses me off that the so-called $10 tickets are $20 once you add the fees in. But that's Ticketmaster for ya ....

Same here, my $25 tickets turned into $35 but percentage wise that's less then yours! Ha

Nice! We will be about 8 deep, hoping other people bring the numbers too! And yup same here, Ticketmaster is evil. Anybody been to Mohegan for something like this before? Any other considerations to think about (like parking passes, etc)?

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 7 years ago

We went to a concert a few years ago, and it's a bit tricky to find since you have to traverse the casino to get in (at that time, at least). Regular parking is free. Valet parking may not be. The degenerates on this board (just kidding) may know better

CT Rhody · Unread post by **CT Rhody** » 7 years ago

I think Mohegan is the best place that I've ever been to watch a game. The casino itself has lots of bars and restaurants which just adds to it and the arena is great, not a bad seat in the house.

Roz · Unread post by **Roz** » 7 years ago

Does anyone think it has a chance to sell out? I thought the first day of sales was good and Duke and Cincy fans probably travel well, especially Duke. On top of that the casino draw is good for some.
