Ticket info for Oakland

[SFP]

Any information where I can get tickets for the game on Thursday please let me know! If you need any information about the Bay Area for travel I'd be glad to help.

FYI...Anyone coming out here try to stay in San Francisco instead of Oakland. There is more to do in SF, it's safer and you can take BART from downtown to the arena in 15 minutes. The arena is close to Oakland airport for those planning to come in on Thursday.

Man I wish I could go. I'm sure that the ticket office at BU will have some tickets available. Otherwise you're gonna have to go the scalper route I bet. Unless of course you're real ballsy and wait until after the Sweet Sixteen, buy tickets from fans of teams that lost, and go to the Elite Eight to see the Braves!!

I've looked into tickets with brokers and talk about $$$$$. Hopefully I can get tickets through our ticket office.

What kind of prices are you getting through brokers?

What kind of prices are you getting through brokers?

Anywhere from $210 (nose bleed) a game to $1,600 for lower bowl.

Wow, that's steep, especially for a per game deal. I was at the Chicago Regional Last year, and it was just two sessions, So I saw both Sweet Sixteen games and the Elite Eight. If that's the case here, you have to realize that you're getting tickets to three games, and if BU were to win, you'd be seeing the Elite Eight game as well, if they were to lose, you could probably sell your ticket to a fan from another school and get some of your dough back. I'd check out websites like www.razorgator.com and www.stubhub.com. I've bought off Stubhub before, they do hit you with a handling fee when you check out, but it's a good way to get tickets that are hard to come by.

In Oakland

Fans not holding tickets can watch the four teams in a free open practice Wednesday at the Arena starting at noon.

http://www.bart.gov/index.asp This is a great web-site for public transportation. DO NOT STAY BY THE ARENA or either Airport. There's not much to do in Oakland so you should try to stay in SF somewhere clost to BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). The Union Square area should work. It take around 20 minutes from SF to Oakland arena on BART.
