Tickets

We’ve established you live in a f***** up word of illusions, so no one is really interested in your dumb stories.
You're wasting your time, he will never get it. He's soooo slooooww, he's like a Sloth on Quaaludes.
 
Why - dont the seats reset yearly based on priority points?

Unlike in football where they can ‘keep same seats’ option...

The floor bleacher seats are premium seats. I can keep exact same ones as long as I keep paying. If I move to main level, they’re not premium seats and I go online each year when it’s my turn and pick my four seats.

It would be cool to sit down low close to John Mellencamp. How much would those tix cost?
Tickets were over 600 for each of us in section 8, one row down from Mellencamp and a few seats over, for the Purdue game. Great seats IMO, close to food and all the action. If you can bring a handicapped friend along, you get to park right there at your section. Definitely the way to go, if you can swing it and bleachers weren't that uncomfortable. Let me add those tickets were bought online and are frequently offered by seller.
 
You’ve gotten me thinking about moving. I think I’ll call Chris tomorrow and see for sure where he thinks I’d end up.

He’s told me if I move most likely will never get the seats I have again.

C-8 are unreal. I would sit there before sitting in the bleachers below them, and to compare behind the basket to C8 is not even a question..... 999 out of 1000 people take C8. Call tomorrow thank me later!

No different with main level seats. As long as you pay the yearly ransom you can keep your seats or even potentially improve. I paid $6K a year to have the rights to buy my section 8 seats (ironic name) and it costs a bit more to stay in the low main where we are now.

Do you have to commit to those seats ahead of the selection process? I may have misunderstood what I was told. Going to get in touch with VC and see if I can switch out my 4 bleacher seats.

yes. you are not going to lose your seats by forgetting to log in on time. But you have to pay the piper.

So as your building points, if you choose to join the selection process to get better seats, you take a chance your new seats could be worse than you already have?

You should be able to see your seats and other choices. Once you get below about row 15 there isn't much churn. Call Scott Dolson, he is a great guy. He will be careful not to make promises but he can help with the process.

Scott originally got me my first two seats in the bleachers. He had a deal where I was able to get the bleacher seats even though my points were very low. I think at time I committed to maybe $3,000 per year and got my two seats. As you know the price has escalated. Lol.

The amazing thing about Scott is his ability to remember names. Every time he sees me, my wife or son he calls us by our first names. I am pathetic at remembering names.

Chris Minderman does a great job now in Scott’s old job.

Scott is painfully honest sometimes. His version of the poop gate bucket game is hysterical and 100 percent true.
 
Respect to StollCpa and Courtsensetwo...
Im learning a little above my level on the donor and seat process...

I have much worse seats - but always find it humorous as to people that think you are trying to rake them charging over face value.

They truly have no idea of the years on years of investing to build points to get anywhere at all in the lower level..

In my mind there are tiers of seating:
Under row 42(now w tvs and new vid screen mayne could go higher)
Under row 37 (finally in good lighting and breathable air)
Under row 25 (excellent for watching game and seeing court/spacing)
And anything in lower 15 or so...just awesome

I also avoid A and F amd M and (?)

Really good analysis.

Most people haven’t a clue the true cost we all have on our seats. Face Value is a minor part of the cost.

With the tax changes - will be interesting to see if some seats improve...
Some high donors may become irritated w the loss of parking, write-offs, etc

I gave a double donation in 2017 to beat the new law in 18. I initially thought the new law would have negative impact on donations. Will be interesting to see what happens 19 and forward.

Id say there are only abt 10-20% of posters on here that have tickets - which is why when you post on the exchange you get a bunch of crappy offers - insulting your above face value asking price...and end up selling on Stubhub for more than on here even after paying fees...

Ive always looked at StubHub - found a fair stibhub tix price to be an example of $100 - figured I am making $85 and buyer is paying $115 since they charge both ways.

So I’d post my tix on here for $85...hoping to sell to an IU fan and I make same amt.
Instead often get insulted...and end up making my $85 on Stubhub...possibly going to an opposing fan for $115.

@eddy4iu will insult you, and post your personal information if you do such things!! I would be willing to bet, at this point, O'l Eddy has sold some IU tickets on stub hub. Is that true Eddy?? You go full hypocrite yet, and sell some iu tickets on the devil that is stub hub? Like I did the MI tickets I bought for a grand from you?

Eddy has always been very fair in his ticket offerings to me. And Ive also missed out on tix that I couldn’t afford from him too.

As long as he operates the ticket exchange fairly - I cant see why you’d needle him here...

When IU is good there isnt a better place to sell tix than here...
 
I only sell my tickets on here, to friends or friends of eddy4iu. I never have a problem selling my tickets.

I only sell my tickets, and thousands of others, on stub hub. I have never had a problem except when Eddy posted that I was not a fan and gave out my personal information after I bought 2 tickets for a thousand dollars from him and re sold them on stub hub months later making about $100 bucks. He saw that the person that bought them was a doctor here in Bloomington that graduated from MI. Eddys assembly hall has no place for that!! He is a true fan dont ya know!
 
If by "on-the-floor" we are talking about the folding wooden bleacher seats, then I would say around $250 to $450 for games against lower-ranked, non-Big 10 teams prior to Christmas.
We used to sit in the section next to the band in row 10-11 with the mini series package. People started buying big blocks of tickets and selling them on the secondary market because we got pushed up into the main area. We kept an eye on who was sitting in our old section and it seemed there were different people every game. Many looked like first time attendees and definitely didn't get their seats based on points.

I wouldn't pay more than 2x face value for those seats. We found good seats after we stopped buying the package at reasonable prices near face value. We don't buy any packages and choose the games and the seats we want from StubHub.
 
I just have no earthly idea why anyone would pay thousands of dollars to support a program that’s made the NCAAT 4x in 11 years with nothing past the Sweet 16. Can you really not find better, more entertaining ways to spend your money?

And this is coming from a guy who has season tickets for over 40 years (when we were relevant).
 
And why do you even CARE how someone else spends THEIR money? For me, the answer to your question is simple . . . "they still enjoy going to the game and you do not."

Lol @indianasportstickets got about 75 of those bad boys. I also had 16 or so. Sorry my man! And people with more points then you sell there seats to me or Indiana sports tickets.

Contact him for any of your 19-20 ticketing needs! Or if you are from out of town he can supply you seats and a condo that sleeps up to 10 for I’m guessing a discounted rate ;).

How many hours and days of your life have you wasted on here saying the same bullshit?

Can you really not find a new hobby?

You can see the same thing if a corporate account buys tickets to spread around to their clients. I get a couple sets of tickets and parking passes from my FedEx rep every year. They're in the B25 neighborhood.

The issue is that the points of buying two tickets and our donations were overtaken by those buying in large numbers.

All it means is we won't go to the crappy games in the package we used to attend. We choose the games we want to see.at the time that fits our schedule. We have traveled to fewer games. I suspect others doing the same is part of the attendance decline.
