Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Its always funny watching AZ fans leave and whatever game is next have a small crowd. I understand the 4 northwest schools are far away but the rest can fill it up too. But there is one team in this conference...
Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Vegas and Arizona are a perfect match because (1) Arizona is really good so there's always the chance we make the Finals, and (2) Arizona fans know how to have fun.Gilbertcat wrote:Its always funny watching AZ fans leave and whatever game is next have a small crowd.

I don't think another fan base has both of those qualities which is why Arizona dominates the attendance.

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Honestly I haven't understood this promotion the past 2 years - I understood it in year 1 to drive interest (plus the unique 12-12-12 date) but now it seems odd from a business perspective to unload inventory early at a discounted price.
I guess it's still to drive interest/buzz, but it's clear this year that they seriously constrained the inventory available at $12 , seemingly cut it from a couple thousand to less than a thousand.
If you're going to do that, you have to have a better way of dealing with the "lottery" than the shitshow that the PAC put out there yesterday. All that did was reinforce existing bitterness.
And while I don't think it's a conspiracy (though it's fun to joke about), there is no doubt that the PAC knew that 90% of the the buyers yesterday were going to be AZ fans. (Certainly based on the Twitter gripes at the PAC, that seems like a conservative estimate).
It really doesn't matter as barring an unthinkable collapse in program quality , we are going to own that place for as long as the tournament is there.

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
True but last year Az made up 75-80% of the entire tournament. Bet if Arizona fans didn't show up in masses it wouldn't be "as popular" Arizona drives the market here, lets be honest. Every game the Cats aren't involved in the tickets on stubhub are half the price. I stayed for the UCLA Stanford game last year and the atmosphere was night and day. Was like a college game vs a little league game. Larry Scott might be an ass wipe but he knows this as well as scalpers. 4 ticket cap makes sense, but Wtf am I suppose to do with 2 tickets?Dosia wrote:I personally think the popularity of this tourny has exploded and they want to sell the more expensive all session passes vs the $12 for arizona game tickets. They just didnt offer many tickets plain and simple.
Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Sell them to me. I couldn't get in on the action yesterday but I'd love to go w/ wife or friend.
Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
There are plenty of tickets available every session. You just have to hit up the scalpers and don't do it wearing Az gear or they will jack the price. Also the losing fans will sell each day

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Starts at the walk way from MGM to the arena. You see plenty of guys near the food court hawking tickets. If you just need 2 each day I wouldn't worry. Price is always an issue though but they are negotiable

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
I talked to a couple people last year and they got tickets on Craigslist for each session. Some of their tickets were great although for the championship game they ended up about as high as you can get
Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
I'll likely have some tickets for sale come tourney time...won't be the best seats, but you'll get into the game...

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Plan on booking my room this weekend. As for tickets, any recommendations on the way to go? Buy single session when they become available? Scalp? All session pass?
Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Gotta say, that even in a loss on Saturday, having that arena filled with Arizona fans was awesome...and I can't wait until Vegas is filled with red/blue as well.
Nothing in the PAC remotely close to how Arizona travels. Fun times ahead.

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
My vision of McKale North far surpassed the reality of watching a game there. Even before the loss was certain, the upper deck really wasn't that filled and the UofA supporter energy was kinda weak.Olsondogg wrote:Gotta say, that even in a loss on Saturday, having that arena filled with Arizona fans was awesome...and I can't wait until Vegas is filled with red/blue as well.

Glad I went (expect for the loss of course) but overall a very underwhelming experience. Doubt I return to watch a game in that dump.
Can't wait to get to vegas some day. that will be fun.
Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Need to find a way to get to Vegas CST. Make it happen when you move west

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Yeah, I pretty much go every year to Tempe and we haven't had the best success there recently...but especially now I like going after seeing McKale and comparing it to their dump. I really am going to stop calling it "McKale North" because it disparages what McKale is now.CalStateTempe wrote:My vision of McKale North far surpassed the reality of watching a game there.

I thought it was funny that they took down the banner that restricted the seats up top, but then didn't managed to sell out those seats. Even funnier were the banners hanging in the rafters for "Tourney Appearances" and "Conference Champions". Next time you're in there, just laugh and point.
Vegas is epic. At least last year was. I wasn't the biggest fan of conference tournaments, mostly seeing as they are cash grabs, but I give Larry Scott credit for one thing--moving it to Vegas. The MWC has their championship in town too and it was packed with college basketball fans, mostly Arizona Fans...which made it fun.
Looking forward to this year cause we are actually crashing in the Grand.

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
For those that got tickets through Ticketmaster, I was just talking to the box office at the MGM and they said we'll either get our tickets on Tuesday, or they're getting shipped out on Tuesday. Either way, should have tickets by next week!
Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
The 12-12 ones? I have mine waiting in my acct. I can print or transfer to someone else.
Probably selling my round 1 tickets which is Game 5/6. #1 seed vs the winner of Game 1(#8 vs #9 seed) as well as # 4 seed vs the winner of Game 2(#5 vs #12 seed).

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
I know that if you bought the Full pass from the MGM direct, the tix will be printed and sent a couple of weeks before the tourney.

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Hey ya'll, good to see this board picking up steam. I used to post on the old board as biz cat.
Curious to see if anyone has extra Friday/Saturday tickets or knows where to get them at reasonable prices. If so, please send me a message or just post here. I've been all over the resale sites and I haven't found anything at a price that didn't hurt me right in my cheap soul.
I need two tix per day, btw.
Thanks and Bear Down

I threw some up on stubhub. Section 203. What are you looking to spend?

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
As little as possible lol. I was hoping for lower or mid level tix for Saturday at a bare minimum without having to shell out more than a couple hundred. Is that reasonable at this point or should I prep to shell out some dinero?Olsondogg wrote:I threw some up on stubhub. Section 203. What are you looking to spend?

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
The best I've found is like $175 per ticket in the mid level.
Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
I think my thurs tix are $80 apiece and my champ tix are $180 apiece.

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
I was out last year and went with no tix in hand. Was able to buy from people there and the back up is the stub hub ticket store that they have about a mile or so from the MGM (it is back behind Ceasars)...Ended up paying anywhere from $50 to $125 for tickets to each game...all were in the lower section - great venue and great time! Got the All Tourney Pack this time around.

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
There is no shortage of tickets once teams start getting bounced or a person realizes they lost too much at the tables and needs some food money. Its almost annoying trying to get to the gate with the amount of people selling tickets every 5 feet. Plus with the cops all around, I would feel pretty good about buying from random dudes (unless they take off running right after you get the tickets).

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Another important note for Cat fans entering the arena...we learned last year that you can take in one (1) drink in plastic/disposable cup as you enter the arena...an important note as the cocktails inside are stout from a pricing standpoint - but going in with a 32 ounce mixed drink seems to make the pregame warmups that much more entertaining AND a bit more economical before having to purchase inside!

It was nice playing Utah first last year. No lines for beer with those fans.

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
I think with Utah being good this year, the prices have gone up even more. Besides Arizona, they're a fan base that has a good amount of fans. I think the CATS will dominate attendance, but Utah will have its fair share, which has made finding tickets effing annoying. Last year Utah was fairly average and they had a nice little gathering of fans. Probably second or third with the Bluffs. The all tournament passes have sold out so finding single session tickets are hard as well. I know in the past Az fans have bought session tickets through other schools who don't travel. Next year I'm probably going to do the all tournament pass.

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
I used to enjoy going to Staples. As a basketball junkie, I loved showing up to the first day (that mattered) at Noon, purchasing a ticket in the "premier" section of the lower bowl that had its own entrance/concessions. Can't remember what that section is called...PR1-12, maybe? Whatever...those who have been there know what I mean. I'd often go out to LA alone...some "me" time. Get a room downtown, walk around and check things out before noon, meet up with some friends in between sessions, and watch 4 games of basketball on Thursday, two on Friday, and one on Saturday. The early session on Thursday was pretty sparsely attended, but I didn't mind...I'd bring my iPod, listen to some music or podcasts in between games, check my phone, and then geek out on basketball. Sometimes, I was the only person in my entire section for the first game...which was fine. I liked it. I recognized it wasn't optimal for the conference, and was pretty sad on TV, but it was basketball.
I had no idea how much better it could get. My first time walking into the MGM arena for an Arizona game was the first tournament there. It was alive. Just a totally different feel than even a game in McKale. The excitement was thick. The celebration fully underway. It was one of the best sports experiences of my life. Then the game was over and I went out into Vegas proper...and it was like the arena was everywhere. Red clad Cats fans everywhere. Bear Down as a greeting set to repeat. It was truly the Arizona Invitational. "He Touched the Ball" happened, which sucked, but nothing could match that first game, the first experience in that arena. It had all the fun that comes with a tournament environment, which is helped in part by fans of all teams being present. And they were there...just outnumbered 10-1. I swore I'd never, ever, ever, ever not go.
Then I didn't go last year. There was a ton going on, we had just had some medical expenses pop up, and it just wasn't going to happen. The first arena image on the broadcast let me know I had made a mistake...I should have found a way.
There just isn't anything like it. I love McKale, but the vibe is just different. The tournament is even better than an Arizona home game, because everyone else had equal opportunity to buy those tickets, and we STILL own the place. It is less home game than hostile takeover. The crowd is younger, more fun, and the environment is not just about one game like a home game, but more an event. Every hardcore Arizona fan has to experience it. My wife and I are going this year, meeting some friends for a mini-reunion like we did the first time. And I swear, for reals this time, that I will not miss it again.

I wasn't too happy with the beer choices at the venue, but I heard there was a local taproom (in Ceasars I think?). Hit me up when that week rolls around and lets get those pint glasses filled!

Re: Pac-12 Tournament 2015
Will do. The alumni event at the Diablo on Wednesday is always fun and we have a suite at the MGM to tailgate before the game begore we tank ip and make the trip over to the garden arena. We always have plenty of drink, mixers and beer. Always go with Dosia and his crew and we usually hook up with DC who has worked the tourney after the last game of each night

We hit up the alumni even, mostly to get the t shirt. We are staying at the Grand this year. You got 2 expectant fathers here together, both UA grads, without their hormonal wives, for a weekend in Vegas.
So yeah, we are gonna have fun!

Besides Arizona, they're a fan base that has a good amount of fans. I think the CATS will dominate attendance, but Utah will have its fair share, which has made finding tickets effing annoying. Last year Utah was fairly average and they had a nice little gathering of fans. Probably second or third with the Bluffs. The all tournament passes have sold out so finding single session tickets are hard as well. I know in the past Az fans have bought session tickets through other schools who don't travel. Next year I'm probably going to do the all tournament pass.
PM me if you are interested.

The wife and I will be there for our third straight year. Last year we did a ton of drinking at Pub 1842 with some cool Colorado Bros and, on another occasion, 97Cats and his boys. It's right next to the arena and has a great beer selection. Great pre-game place.
Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!

So now that we have clinched the 1 seed we know we tee it up at noon on Thursday and 6 on Friday. Friday we need to get one hell of a pre game party on and march our way in.
Would love to play ASSU on Thursday and just beat them to death. Would hate to play Tinkle and his zone
