Sometimes You Just Falll into it!

[3rd Generation]

About eight months ago I got an e-mail from the NCAA about getting into the final four ticket draft. I thought that Texas had no chance but it might be fun to actually go to a final four. I figured that I had very little chance of winning but did it anyway. In two weeks I will be getting my final four tickets and the Horns just might be playing in it. Wow, sometimes you just might fall into it!

Or sometimes, you just jump in it.

Everything the best.

congrats! My plan was to just dish out a shitload of money to buy a ticket myself

How much does a final four ticket run at face value, if you don't mind me asking? I'd like to know how much I'm gonna overpay by when I scalp my tickets haha.

There's no one more deserving than Coach Barnes. Congrats on finally getting that championship! Icing on the cake.

Please don't jinx us by jumping the gun and celebrating a championship already ! ! ! We have a long way to go. This is the best chance we have had since TJ. But DON'T JINX IT ! ! ! !

I believe it was $390 for two seats to the three games. That works out to about $65 per game ticket.

Holy crap those are affordable prices compared to the BCS title game.

Let's see where the seats turn out to be located. I may need a telescope to see the playing floor.

Just got my notice from the NCAA; my final four tickets arrive on Monday..

Same boat here. Saw the term "lottery" in the email and thought there was a slim to none chance in hell. But, figure what the heck. I'm glad I did.

I'm not jinxing ANYTHING. I will keep referring to a certain team doing well with a possibility of making it to H-town. But, they will be only a certain team until they're actually here!

BTHOOosu!!!

Not a texas-ex yet, nor am I a student anymore, so I had no chance at any kind of drawing. So I just went with stub hub. I wish I would have done it sooner, but I nabbed seats for all 3 games.

I'm so stoked.

Wow, my San Antonio regional tickets haven't shipped yet. Hopefully they will soon. My Final Four application didn't get selected so I plan on going to Houston and pick up at least after the first game.
By the way, I believe you just have to fill out a NCAA entry form to get into the lottery for Final Four tix. You have to pay up front this march or April and then if you don't get picked they refund your credit card in August or something.

 

[GabeRocksSocks]

^really? I might do that as well and sell my spare set then.

I just figured I'd forego the hassle and pick them up on stub hubb. In the span of about a week they jumped up almost $400 from the original price, so I figure it was time to pull the trigger.

I entered the Final Four ticket lottery for many years in the 80's and 90's with no luck at all. Finally decided to quit giving them my money so they could earn interest on it for months. Good to hear someone actually wins it.

Got my tickets; section 625. I believe that I may need a telescope to actually see the players but at least it is inside the stadium. Does anyone know what Bracket Town is about? I received two tickets to this in addition to the final four tickets. Was kind of disappointed that you cannot leave the semi-finals between games. I was going to let someone else see a game that way but the tickets say you cannot leave and reenter the semi games. Oh well, I hope the Horns make it that far.
