[Muskie]

C'mon people buy tickets!!!

Everyone seems so down around here.

What the fuck happened to the Xavierhoops.com I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? Tuesday could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're too good to be in a play-in, we might have to go to Dayton." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. UD Arena, Tuesday! 9:10 p.m.! Wolfpack...

[usfldan]

I'm in the building, but I don't think by much - 2 in Section 414.

[Muskie]

We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part! And we're just the fans to do it.

[Cheesehead]

There. SurfXU got me a ticket.

[xumuskies08]

Just got 2 in 414. I won't be close, but I'll be there!

Let's all wear sanitary masks to show our disgust for the dump.

Probably, I'm just putting it out there for when Ticketmaster is out. Stubhub also another option too.

I'm in 313 Row H

We have seats 1-4

Looking forward to meeting you!

[Snipe]

I just got 4 Diamond Seats, Sec 401, Row J, Seats 1-4. I paid $38 bucks a ticket. Almost made the mistake of buying full session tickets for $50. Come and join me hob nobbing with the Rich and Famous in my Diamond Seats.

I am pumped. We are going Dancing Bitches!

When I told people at the begining of the year that not only were we going back to the Tournament but that we would win there and take down the ACC they laughed at me. Well look who is laughing now Bitches!!!!

Xavier will be back winning in the NCAA Tournament, and I just got my ticket to Dance!

DANCE BITCHES!!!!!!

[THRILLHOUSE]

won't be able to make it, but got my parents a couple of seats in section 309.

How did you get them for 38 a piece?

[BMoreX]

Kind of a rant but it really irks me that people outside of this region don't get that this is probably going to have more of a feel of a road game for X.

Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but I think there is going to be a ton of red on Tuesday and people will think we didn't represent whereas NC State brought the whole city to Dayton.

[Muskie]

I want to make sure I bought the right tickets. I bought session 1 for Tuesday. The only other options were for session two on wed or an all session pass for tues/wed. I assume session 1 gets me into both games on tuesday

[xfan'17]

Just got 8 seats in 401

Hope X can get off to a hot start and take the dayton fans out of the game. Get up by enough at halftime and maybe a decent enough will leave not wanting to stay out too late just to watch X advance?

But yeah, it does humor me that the national media thinks this will be a home game for X. They might want to do a little research on X-UD.

People on UD Pride are already wondering where they can get NC State stuff. If UD was playing in Indy against Nevada, I wouldn't buy tickets or wonder how I could buy Nevada stuff...

Could care less.

I read a quote from Gottfried last night saying that his team will basically be playing a road game. Nope! Virtual home game buddy. I guess he has no idea how much Dayton fans hate us and lives in his little ACC bubble.

That's what i said earlier. If UD was playing in Indy, i wouldn't even contemplate buying a ticket to root against them.

[XUBand]

I got 9, count em, 9 XU fans coming with me. Section 313 seats 1-9

[GoMuskies]

I doubt many are doing that. But UD fans have always bought up these play-in game tickets, and since they're going anyway they're obviously going to root against Xavier while there.

[Jacoblong23]

2 in 302 Row N.

[Emp]

I'm there.

As in all double headers, fans for the first game (Albany vs St Marys???) may filter out and be heading home by the time we take the floor. Move down, I say!!

Will Thor rush the floor and puke on the D (again?)

I'm potentially lookin for 1-2 tickets. PM me if you got any extras with price.

In with three others, somewhere in the 300's.

Also, does anyone know how many beers you can drink while driving between Cincy and UD? This no alcohol part is cramping my vocal support.

Don't you think they would buy them up in case UD plays there.. Now that they're an 11 playing OSU, shouldn't they be selling them and use that money to take them to their game? I have to believe any normal person would just sell their tickets to make a profit without their team playing. Of course, that's assuming UD fans are normal people which is a huge assumption

They never bought the tickets in case UD played there. I'm sure that was always a possibility, but Dayton has taken great pride is supporting these games so that they're not played in an empty arena (as they would be most anywhere else). That's why the play-in games have always been in Dayton.

[Insert witty crack about how you'd be there for sure if there was a Ben Folds Five concert]

Will be there. Somewhere in the nosebleeds--but on the plus side, they are comped seats from one of the local organizers....so no financial support is directly going to them from me.

[Insert witty crack about how you'd be there for sure if there was a Ben Folds Five concert]

Oh come one! Ben Folds Five and Arcade Fire aren't even close to being on the same level.

Oddly enough I did once in my life drive to dayton with some friends for a Ben Folds concert.

[Milhouse]

Don't get a room up here. As John Matarese would say, "Don't Waste Your Money!" on this town. Go to the game but not a room. I work up here also and everyday enjoying snikering as I pass the udump as I head south going home.

[xufan2434]

Somehow found tickets on TicketCity lower level that were cheap.. Took too long to make the decision with my buddy cause there were three tickets left so they wouldn't just let you buy 2 at a time.. Needless to say we lost the tickets then checked ticketmaster and those are all gone.

The struggle of a college student is real. Represent the Blue & White well for us up there!

[ammtd34]

I scored mine on Ebay this morning for $124. 2 tickets in Section 201 (lower level), row 1. $31 per seat per game is pretty good.

[chico]

I'm there. Not sure where I'm sitting but I know I have a ticket.

[dfcapp]

I'll be there. Not sure where the tickets are located -- got them throught a buddy who is a Mt. St. Mary's alumni. So, I guess I have to root for MSM to win & then he has to root for XU.

[dfcapp]

Also - completely surprised that there are no lower bowl seats available via Stub Hub. Not paying $296 to see XU play, but still.

Who got all of those tix? The Dayton Faithful or really sizeable donors via each school?

I have no idea if it's true, but I heard once that Dayton season ticket holders are required to purchase first round tickets to the game (even if they won't necessarily get to sit in their seats). But, again, I have no idea how reliable that source is.

I looked earlier on the same site and it was saying there were no tickets available.. SO I had to get nose bleeds. Now it's saying there's tickets available in the 3rd of the 300 levels. dammmmmnnit..

What do you guys think the chances are of being able to move down just maybe to the 300 level and sit in the empty seats. Maybe fans of the losing team from game 1 will leave?

You think people are going to travel from new york and California and then leave after the 1st game? To do what, hang out in downtown Dayton?

Most of the attendees will be Daytonites. A couple hundred seats for the school supporters/fans of the participants.

[coasterville95]

If you think fans won't go to a game purely to spite the other team - I remind you of K-State (w/ Huggins) vs. Xavier at US Bank Arena. How many SucKS fans showed up in purple K-State gear? Ok, they were also idolizing Huggins in an unhealthy manner, but still.

This is true. But, I'd still rather watch a game with a room full of UC fans than with just 1 dayton fan. dayton fans are just a breed of their own. UC fans are a lot of things, but dayton fans they are not. And that's a compliment!

Coach Mack wants YOU in Dayton.
View this email with images



Students,

Coach Mack has generously bought a block of tickets, exclusively for Xavier undergraduate students to attend tomorrow night's NCAA First Round game vs. NC State in Dayton. 100 vouchers will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to any Xavier undergrad with a valid student ID. Students can bring one additional ID for a friend, with one voucher being distributed per student ID. Please note that the vouchers are non-transferrable.

Pick up will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the East Side Cintas Center Ticket Office. Vouchers must then be redeemed, in conjunction with the student ID used to pick up the voucher, at the Xavier general will call window at UD Arena beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Coach Mack and the team need your support! See you tomorrow.




God... Coach sucks....

[Kahns Krazy]

That and something about their season ticket agreement and the postseason agreement allows ticket holders to guarantee seats to the actual tournament games that are played there periodically if they buy all the play in game tickets each year. I would probably do the same thing if I were a ticket holder there.
