Season Tix for Men's BBall Available

[Xevious]

Don't expect a full house for any of the BCA classic games. I was looking on eBay and saw pairs of seats for $0.99 +$10 shipping going unsold. Someone else is selling sets of 4 tickets starting at $0.99 with $5 shipping.

Yeah they are all crappy seats in the last few rows, but those tickets are $18 each from the ticket office.

does anyone know when students get to pick up their season tickets? I haven't heard anything from the TO.

Not sure where to start here.

I can't just blame the problems on the students. I was at both games.

Yes the students werent here, but the tickets were not sold in the student packages, and alot of students probably didnt even know there was an exhibition game.

Then there are the people with the PSL who have tickets to these games as they have to buy them in their season packages. Well have of them werent there. The lots where they park were freakin' empty as can be.

I know that it is exhibition but watching these people sit on their hands is pathetic. The band plays the fight song or Hang on Sloopy and you would think that it was not normal to stand up and do the OH-IO b/c people actually doing it look out of place.

Hell the Walsh fans today were louder than our fans. I still don't even know where that school is.

I am so glad that the students at least get to be behind both baskets this year. Hopefully they will be loud and cheer. We need to have some sort of home court advantage, but at this time you might as well bring a preacher and have him give a church session while the game is going on. I think Bucky Katt would have no problem hearing them at the top.

The only time the crowd made any kind of noise today was when they were throwing the free t-shirts up in the crowd.

I really hope we can just chalk this up to being an Exhibition game.

Without a doubt. From my seats, I could hear the players calling out screens. Really freakin' quiet in there.

I didn't know that the exhibitons weren't included in the student-ticket packages. I apologize for the somewhat snippy remark about them.

Yeah the students could either get a ten game package, or they split them up into 5 games and they could buy one or the other.

They were the 8 home big ten games and 2 non-conference games, so look for a couple of the other non-conference games to be dead when the students arent there.

But those games when the students are there should be rocking. I have already mentioned this but the student tickets increased from 1700 to 6300 this year. Quite a hike.

Don't know which games you've looked at on e-bay, but certain tickets to the BCA Classic aren't even for the Buckeyes which might account for such low prices (and very likely, very low attendance).

Games 1 & 2 are IUPUI vs. Alabama A&M and Kent St. vs. South Dakota St., and I think those tix are selling at the OSU ticket office for $15 plus a $1 handking fee.

Games 3 & 4 are Loyola (Chicago) vs. Princeton and Ohio State vs. VMI, and those tix are selling for $23 - $28 plus a $1 fee (I think). And if you click on the "best available" link, much better seats are available for the games that OSU is not playing (or expected to play) in...i.e., games 5 & 6 are the losers bracket games from the first 4 games ($15) and games 7 & 8 is the winners bracket games ($23 - $28).

So while I'm sure it still won't be a sell-out for the games OSU is playing in (and my family and I were at the Walsh game, so put me down for adding 4 to the support group ) don't confuse the e-bay tix selling for .99 cents with games that tOSU will actually be playing (or expected to play in).

Padraig,

Here's the ebay post.

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Ohio-State-Bas...QQcmdZViewItem

It says OSU vs 2nd round opponent. The seller specified that he/she is a season ticket holder and already sold the ticket for the VMI game.

Note, my tickets only specify evening session, not specific session numbers.

Hmmm....well, I'm not an "ebay guy" (never bought anything) so I'm not completely familiar with the workings of the site, and I only glanced at the 'posts' offering the tix you were refering to.

And while the evening sessions would be the ones where OSU will be playing (as in the descriptions of those tickets) and .99 cents or anything near that price would be a great value for any seats to see the Buckeyes... I did also notice that ther
