Selection Show: Is ESPNews online anywhere?

[LindenCy]

Looks like we got screwed, and Texas got screwed even worse.

 

[Tornado man]

Yes, Omaha. $19 per, but 2 tix through Ticketmaster are $58 after fees.

I just got my Omaha tickets - better buy them now, because waiting until after this weekend WILL BE TOO LATE.

That's insane. Screw health care, we need the federal government to intervene on Ticketmaster's price-gouging.

I think I can make the Hilton games work. After that, it's not real likely. Can't spend everything.

Although some upper-deck seats would be a lot less, I think. Am I right?

Yes, Texas got screwed even worse. CJL was saying that she kind of assumed that one of the two - us or Texas - might be sent to Omaha - but certainly not both.
The more I think about it, the more bizarre it is,

I just don't get it. Texas has one loss to us on the year, and we both have to go on the road to to the 10 seed? Come on! The selection committee can't be that dumb. Honestly, neither of us should be in that bracket.

If we win our first 2 games and advance to play in Omaha, that game will be the following Friday with the winner playing Saturday. As a reminder, men's basketball plays host to Iowa that Friday evening at 7:00 so that could directly conflict with our match against Nebraska, if thing hold true to form.

Section 219 (upper deck, corner section), row 4

2 tickets==$71.40 ?!?!?!?!!

I can't do that. I'm good for the games in Hilton,but that's a ton of $ in our house.

They list $19 and $16 as the two prices.

I was looking at 2-day session tickets, just to see.

My bad.

All-session tix are $38 (lower) and $30 (upper).

Although still tempting. I'd have to go overtime-crazy, and maybe miss the Iowa game. Can't miss the Iowa game

Nice find. I think they were showing like $28 for the 2-day session, but either way, wow!

Oh, and sorry, I wasn't clear enough at first that I was talking 2-day session.

 

[Tornado man]

I am getting nervous about how fast Nebraska fans are buying up tickets today...

oh. great.

 

[CycloneErik]

So, can we sell enough tickets in Hilton to put away that curtain?

I understand if cost is a factor, but there will be no comparison regarding the atmosphere. The Qwest Center that night will be electric...
