Prices would be far higher with Villanova and Duke playing.

finals 4 tickets 200 level Upper Center $179 (303 in inventory)

I guess with who is left in the East, Wisconsin may have the strongest fan base in NYC. Overall though, no Duke or Nova probably hurts the secondary market some for sure.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I am going to guess on Thursday these 6 sections for 4 tickets will be $175 for Friday and $105 for Sunday.

I think there is a big takeaway to this. The NYC metro sportsfan just isn't in to college basketball.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Sunday April 2nd same 4 tickets same section
Daytime NY Knicks $122.50
Nighttime NY Rangers $163.61

Those are meaningless games in the regular season, not a trip to the Final 4

The Round of 64 & 32 did very well at the Barclay Center last season. Excellent crowds all weekend. I imagine the Sweet 16s/Elite 8s at the Meadowlands did well too when they were scheduled there regularly.

then why are prices so high even without Duke and Villanova ?

These are very very low prices my brotha. They are not high.

 

[superfan01]

Prices sound low for a msg event.

oh !!??!! I guess I won't be attending then. You can get Nets or 76ers home games for about $20. That is more in my price range.

Friday $255 318 left
Sunday $161 320 left

South Carolina fans will show up in great numbers. They are chomping at the bit. The Gamecocks haven't been to the Sweet 16 since making it in 1971, 1972 and 1973.

They set an attendance record this season...

Wonder why the announcers kept saying that South Carolina had never made the sweet 16, when all it took was a little research to see that they did.

I am a buyer looking for Sunday.

 

[RUnTeX]

It's 3pm and NY metro is still not a college sports area, right Greene? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I more or less agree with you, btw....without any local team, or CBB royalty, representation, broad based fan appeal and interest isn't quite where you might expect it to be.

I am looking to buy and waiting for prices to stop going down. Going to try and find the bottom. Sort of like #s with snow find watching the secondary market interesting. Maybe i am alone here.

prices still falling, both are down $7 since last report. I think Friday is going to level out, but Sunday is in trouble.

Attendance for Rutgers,Seton Hall and St.Johns certainly doesn't fill their arenas .MSG is a arena that requires high profile teams to attract big crowds.The old Big East had many teams that brought their fan bases which made the Garden a exciting place to be for a tournament.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

$259
$117

Friday price moving higher while Sunday is still going lower.

Pro sports always has been the focus of sports fans in the NYC area, but you can't come to that conclusion simply based on the price of the tix at MSG this weekend. You're not going to find a bigger hotbed for college hoops than Memphis and look at the prices there... and the South Region is loaded with bluebloods.

Friday... https://www.stubhub.com/ncaa-tourna...=false&qtyq=false&qtyddab=true&sort=price+asc

Sunday...

[Greene Rice FIG]

I did see MSG was basically equal with 1 region and a decent amount above 2 others

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Tuesday 11:45AM
Friday $273 with 181 in inventory
Sunday $114.50 with 326 in inventory

Friday has been creeping higher and inventory is going. Sunday's price probably doesn't go much lower in the next few days. This is probably the time to buy.

Looking at 4 regions...upper mid court for 4

East $273
South $153 memphis (UNC, UK, and UCLA!)
west $193 San Jose (has Gonzaga, but no UCLA)
midwest $373 Kansas City (Pur, Kansas and Michigan)

 

[RU_Planning]

No updates since Tuesday?

Heard tickets are pretty high.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I just got off the path. At 33rd St. walking to 48th and eighth. Wisconsin fans are everywhere.

Friday moved higher. Sunday still reasonable

Strange, I figured this would sell out in no time. Especially with the NCAA wrestling tournament selling out all three days last year. MSG already told the NCAA they would love to have another tourney and many of the fans had a great experience and would welcome the trip back. College basketball is hundreds of times more popular than wrestling.

It is sold out. Secondary prices in stubhub
