Anyone else finding that Stubhub only allows you to buy tickets that are shipped by UPS? I dont trust that getting here in time to do that.

Anyone have any idea what kind of tickets are still for sale through the NCAA? Do they only do the early sales on a limited amount of tickets?

Tickets will not be a problem for the Thursday session. Kentucky fans will dump them like crazy and you'll be able to get in for $50 or less on the street and probably $75 on stubhub. Saturday, when Kentucky is in the same session, will be pricey. $150 or more to get in the door. But no one should hesitate from going to the Thursday game based on ticket prices.


How many tickets do you think Kentucky fans have? They only give a few hundred tickets to each team to use . . . for coach families, administrators, donors etc. Most of the tickets were purchased in the NCAA presale. Maybe Kentucky fans bought these up, but I suspect most were purchased by brokers.

Kentucky has known for quite awhile that they were going to be playing in Louisville, so I'm sure they bought them up earlier thru public sales.

Yeah, you're right. Kentucky fans probably did grab lots of the public tickets.

It would have been hilarious if the committee sent them somewhere else.

the NCAA is losing a lot of money having our game and Kentuckys in the same session. they could probably sell a good chunk of the arena for two separate games

Tickets still arent available on the NCAA site. ticketmaster has some listed through their VIP page, but these are exchanges with even more fees figured in. I wound up going through stubhub. Got session 1 seats for $30 and session 3 seats for $230. Each, that is.

How are these tickets not deliverable electronically? I cant find a single website that doesnt ship them, aka get here on thursday.

It is safe to say scalping them for $15-25 is likely if we just went?

Thursday Maybe...Maybe...But certainly not Saturday. Mine will be delivered Tuesday, so if you order today, you should have them Wednesday. should.

There are a bunch of tickets for under $20 on StubHub. I really want to buy but they say it's a Wednesday delivery. That does me, or hardly anybody any good. Is there any way around this? Also, what do you think scalper ticket options would be like?

You may already be aware of this but you can filter your results so you only see electronic delivery or pickup options. If you do that there are still lowers available for Thursday morning that start at $70 each.
