Madison Square Garden and the BET

[mkras99]

They use Priority Points to determine seating.

Yep. I was told I’m pretty high up but all good.

 

[mkras99]

I'm assuming that's for every session? That's pretty good

Yeah. I’m spoiled by my season tickets though so every seat feels bad, hah.

Yes, all games.

Gotcha. No idea then. Would call the school.

So, when I call the ticket office, they have a recording that they are closed for Christmas break and will be back in January 2025. The phone number that texted me is attached to "Sean" who may or may not have anything to do with BET tickets and isn't answering his phone.

People keep telling me SJU is big time now - other than prices I keep seeing the usual Mom and Pop crap. The re-seating is going to be a disaster, mark my words, they can't handle it, no way, no how.

100 Level Center (105-109, 115-119) $960
100 Level Corner (104, 110, 114, 120 $776
$621 for various endzone rows and 200 Level Center
$311, $276 for various 200 Level seats

And don't forget to add the $15 service fee per order.

Thanks - guess I got the lowest tier but I’ll take it!!

BE tickets should be in your Ticketmaster BE Johnnies account as of tonight. As expected, the Big East defines "sidelines" a little more generously than I would but whatever.

My tickets arent there yet, nor are the seat locations

Mine are not on the Johnnies app but I got them through MSGs app. Might be why you aren’t seeing them.

Anyone else in section 212?

For those of us without season tickets or access to tickets through the school, what's the best strategy to get a decent price? Wait until right before the game when prices start to plunge?

Single tix usually cheaper. You can wait till last minute if you don't mind getting shut out - thats when prices are lowest. Best to go on fan boards of schools playing in the evening session

I'd like to know at/around how much it costs to be guaranteed a seat to the BET via St. John's?

I know there is some type of rubric of criteria they use...

I'd imagine it ultimately coming down to money, then loyalty.

So how much?

Father and son season ticket holders in seats next to me during the Providence game, got shut out. They going secondary market. Not all season ticket holders got BET tix.

I've found TikPik a little bit cheaper than TM re-sale, StubHub and SeatGeek among the secondary market apps.

Thanks, not too concerned about getting shut out, because there always seems to be tickets on the secondary market apps for most events, even right up untl game time.

There are about 5600 season tickets this year. Less than 25% of that is sju allocation. Pretty sure that administrators are getting their tix without regard to priority.

To me, our ticket demand still has a way to go. On Saturday vs Seton Hall, there were a large number of seats on secondary markets with seats in the 200s plunging to $6 by game time.

Before last year, demand for BET tickets from sju fans was weak. Then it surged last year, and exploded this year.
