Anyone have any suggestions on where to find tickets? Will LSU have extras we can buy?

Why would they put both us and Wisconsin in the same session? Just stupid if you want to sell tickets.

But not if you want to resell the tickets…Milwaukee is $240 and up right now.

They don't want to sell tickets because they have already sold them all. Tickets for these things typically sell out well in advance of anyone knowing who is playing there.
At this point, it's all about TV.

Tickets are already sold. NCAA already has there money. Corporate sponsors get more tickets than schools....

Same pod, same session. They don't split them based on who's there.

Plus, it's been sold out for months.

I bit the bullet and bought mine online as soon as tip time was made public. With Wisconsin being in the same session as us, I don’t think tickets will get any cheaper.

I did the same. Instantly bought the two cheapest tickets I could find, $166/each. Now the cheapest Session 2 tickets on ticketmaster are $300+ each.

Yea think mine were $150ish, but $220 once you added fees and all the other BS.

The last time we went to Milwaukee, I was able to get tickets through the Vermont ticket office (had to show up at their Will Call in person), but then had to buy on the street for the second game.

Similarly, I bought through Iona for our first game in Denver. The venue released extra tickets before the second round. A few of us, including @thisISnextyear, camped out in line and bought up a bunch of tickets to sell to Cyclone fans at cost (while the scalpers stood in line behind us watching in despair).

I checked last night and couldn't find a way to buy tickets on the Colgate site.

Keep an eye on "Tickets for Less" Price on ticket is what you pay plus maybe tax. Tickets tend to go down closer to the event, if you can wait and don't care where you sit.

Wisconsin fans are going to be all over the Colgate and LSU tickets as well.

When we played in Denver the last go, I reached out to the two smaller schools and was able to purchase tickets through their allotment. In this case LSU (not small I know) and Colgate. Wisconsin fans may have already done the same. In 2016 I was able to purchase first round tickets from both Iona and Arkansas Little Rock. Good luck!
