Anyone have extra tickets to NCAA at MSG? I can only afford to take 1 night off work, so I'm not interested in buying the all sessions package offered through Rutgers. If anyone is trying to get rid of a session please private message me. I'm trying to sit in the Rutgers section and not pay an arm and leg through the secondary websites.

I am not sure how to private message, but I am trying to sell sessions 1-3 (Thursday, and Friday day sessions).
I have Jury Duty March 16 & 17, ugh,lol. I'm hoping to go Friday th 18th (my birthday gift to myself !), does anyone know if each day is 2 sessions and what session the Round of 12 is (winners guaranteed 8th and an AA). ?

Abro, as stated above the Qtr final round is Friday morning, so those winners are assured an AA, but the wrestle back round is not till Friday Night(wrestle back 4th(blood round) ..these are sick matches!!). Friday is by far the best day with the Qtrs in the morning and the wrestle back 4th round and semis on Friday night...
...and of course the day after an afternoon/evening of hitting St Pat's festivities in the city, lol, that could be fun for the head! Seriously though this is the day I'm planning to be there as well!
I made the mistake of not waiting for Rutgers and bought mine when they first announced they were on sale. I have 2nd row in section 217 so that is nice, but I won't be with the RU fans.
I bought the shirts that RU is selling and will wear them the same days as RU section will wear them.
If you are going please buy the shirts from the RU website it will help the team and from watching other teams last year it does look nice when fans are wearing the same shirts.

Hey @wngarbarini or anyone who has been to past nationals, approximately how much time is between the end of a session and the start of the next session? Also, any 'survival' tips for being there?
Thanks in advanced.

One thing I highly recommend is they sell an ear piece that you put on one ear and you can switch to get audio from all 8 mats. I loved it last year (my first NCAA). I think they cost $15.00 each or 2 for $20.00 last year in St. Louis, knowing NYC they will cost more but I will still buy it. Battery last's for the whole tournament and I used mine every round.
