Oh boy this will be a dilemma. Being a broke UConn student I dont think its wise for me to take the risk 130$ risk. I may just roll the dice on the early games in the tourny and pay for semi and finals games vs a team like SMU or Cinci. Im not even sure UConn will be selling student tickets for this game. But thanks for the advise
Trust me, I was in your shoes about five years ago when I was still at UConn.
This is what I'm debating as well. I have very little interest in attending non-UConn games, but plan on going to every game UConn plays. I imagine once it's announced when UConn is playing, the ticket prices for those games will go up. So buying a tournament pass for $150 may end up being a steal if UConn advances, or a complete waste if UConn plays just one game.
Yeah I'm in the exact same boat too. Unlike the Big East tourney where I watched every single game (even in the years that UConn had an early exit) but I could care less about every other team in our current conference.
The hypothetical I keep running in my head is that if UConn advances to the finals, the ticket for that game could easily get into the $80-$100 range for the cheapest seats because it would be a de facto elimination game with a tourney bid on the line.
Again, there is a bunch of risk involved, especially if UConn lost their first game, and you would be stuck with a bunch of tickets that have absolutely no value to the general public in CT. At least with the Big East tourney, most teams fans traveled well, and there was always demand for tickets.
