MVC tourney

If you're going to the tourney and haven't booked your hotel yet, might want to do it now. I just went to book the Embassy Suites and they were already booked full. Very disappointed in myself for waiting so long.

I tried to book a room at the Embassy Suites a couple times in the past 2 months, and got the same result- no rooms available.
For many years, the Embassy Suites has held back most of their rooms until right before the tournament. In every year, a bunch rooms became available in late February or early March. I don't know if that will be the case again this year, but I would suggest that if anyone books a room elsewhere, make it cancellable in case you might want to switch to the team hotel, the Embassy Suites, once those rooms are made available.
I am not sure why they do this. Maybe they are holding them in case they need them for a convention or group that needs a block of rooms. But we've stayed there every year since Bradley made it their team hotel.

The Embassy Suites is great- the rooms are large (it is a converted warehouse and office building), great free breakfast, afternoon cocktail party (free drinks, including alcoholic), and easy access to the Bradley send-off rallies and other fan events.



Also, All-Session tickets for the tournament are available from Bradley, which guarantees that you will sit in the designated Bradley section- https://twitter.com/BradleyBraves/status/1745098176003244036

Had 4 rooms available when we checked on the way to church. As soon as we booked, they were gone!
Thanks for the tip, Coach! Was not excited about staying at another team’s hotel!
 
I've NEVER been to St. Lou for Arch Madness and am DYING to go. I will be celebrating my 50th b-day next year, so this will be my gift to go to Arch Madness for the 1st time in 2025!

Does anyone know when the all session tickets get "delivered"? I remember it being late last year but I'm getting antsy.

If you are referring to the All-Session tickets bought through Bradley, check with the Bradley ticket office. I believe some people have already had them delivered to their Ticketmaster digital account. Their phone number is 309-677-2625.
 
This is the main Arch Madness website with information about the games - https://mvc-sports.com/sports/arch_madness
That site doesn't have much information, but it has the following links to other useful sites--

Bradley plays in the Friday night session, Session 4. They are the second game of Session 4, starting approximately 8:30 pm.
I do not know if Bradley has any tickets still available. Anyone interested can try calling the Bradley ticket office 309-677-2625.
There are very few tickets showing available for Session 4 on the main Ticketmaster site, or for any of the sessions. But that is because the bulk of tickets are still being held for the 12 teams. Usually, once teams turn in unsold tickets, more will become available on the Ticketmaster website.

Hotel- the official Bradley team hotel is the Embassy Suites Downtown Hotel at 610 N. 7th St., at the corner of 7th St. and Washington Ave.
 
Just called the BU ticket office and the all session tickets that people have bought will be sent out on Tuesday. They are digital tickets sent to your phone and that you're able to access through the Arch Madness app.
 
I will be at Arch Madness on Saturday, so I'm counting on y'all to get the Braves the win Friday night. For watching the Friday game, what is MVC TV? Here in Peoria, would that be Bally Sports Midwest? Thanks.

Yes, the Thursday (March 7) and Friday (March 8 ) games are all on the MVC-TV Network, which includes NBCSports Chicago and Bally Sports Midwest.
 
Any of you guys going to the tournament staying at the Embassy Suites (besides Coach, who I KNOW will be there!)?

By the way, the Embassy Suites is still showing no available rooms for Friday or Saturday (March 8-9) - https://www.hilton.com/en/book/rese...-08&departureDate=2024-03-09&room1NumAdults=2

The St. Louis Embassy Suites showed no rooms available as of this morning, but I notice now they are showing several types of rooms available.
However, be ready for "sticker shock". Here are their prices. Friday night of next week for a single queen-bed room is at $577 per night with a non-refundable reservation and a Hilton Honors discount- https://www.hilton.com/en/book/rese...-08&departureDate=2024-03-09&room1NumAdults=2

Ridiculous.
