Is anyone aware of the school doing anything to promote and market the upcoming game and potential games after it? How about some kind of pep rally, ticket deal, etc. to encourage the support. We ought to make it known that it is our floor and I think it will help tremendously. Hopefully, many of the alumni in NYC will be able to sneak out from work to catch the afternoon game. I can bet that no one in the BE or in the Top 25 want to face our team in the tourney if we were to make it, as we are dangerous. It is imperative we dominate this tournament before us.

I called over to the SJU ticket office, they have individual tickets they are going to sell but they are not ready to do so until at least tomorrow, they don't know how much they will be or where. I don't understand what the hold up is exactly. Season ticket holders and students should be able to buy right away to get the most people there. They are still selling packages but they can't even tell you where your seats will be 3 days before the game and I don't know if I will be going to enough sessions to warrant buying the package. Seems very unorganized. :furious:

I've made a few adjustments to my visit to NYC this weekend to arrive before our Thursday tipoff and would love to know if tickets will be on sale in the next few days in order to purchase them and/or attend any pregame festivities. Looking forward to watching our boys and hope we have some success!

Are you sure you went to St. John's? Even in our Final Four appearance, the student body as a mass only caught on to the team when we made Lexington. There was a pep rally then but it was really lame to my recollection. An appearance in the BET, which happens every season, is not going to be a reason to fire students up, IMO. There are a few hundred on board, who come to most games, and that's it by and large.
It should be a weird mix of fans on Thursday. There will be a few thousand fans from Villanova, half of who will head out to hit the bars after they win. They all leave if somehow they lose. A very small contingent of Hall and Butler fans, half of who leave after they lose. A small contingent of Providence die hards, maybe 5,000 redmen fans and 4,000 Creighton fans. If we can get the Creighton fans behind us, we are good.

I'm gonna guess that at least 1/2 of the 12 noon game fans will exit after their game, and the rest will pick a team to root for. Hopefully they are mostly New Yorkers who will choose to root for St. John's, so with a less than full Garden we should have more rooters out of 12-13000 fans.

Couldn't wait for our ticket office, just got two tickets from Vivid for $40 bucks plus charges each in section 212, seemed like a steal compared to the rest of the tickets I've seen on the various sites. Person from Vivid told me it was a Nebraska seller, I assume a Creighton fan who didn't feel like going to day session. I think people that wait will probably get tix even cheaper than I did. I think there is plenty of supply out there but brokers(and unfortunately our own damn school) are holding back tickets which artificially inflates the prices. It still bothers me that as a season ticket holder and alumni I can't easily get an individual session ticket 3 days before the event when they have plenty available. Not the right way to treat your fans.

I got tickets from vivid seats last year for the game against cuse at the dome. Got ten tickets and thought the customer service was great. Got to the game however and one of the tickets wouldnt work. Luckily we had an extra one.

Hopefully no problems this year, used them to buy and sell last year when I went to every game but still made money buying from people dumping tickets and selling to overeager Cuse and Louisville fans. They were working out of Affinia Hotel last year but this year they are not a sponsor so they won't be there. The guy on the phone said they were working the AAC tournament instead and I had to laugh. I know some people will disagree but I don't think that tournament will compare.

I got 2 tix in the 112 section right behind the student section on Stub Hub last night for $65 apiece plus fees. Cost me $153 total.
