Planning on heading down for the Friday night session and buying as BU advances if at all. Anyone know BU’s section and/or have any tips for doing Arch Madness this way? First year I’m going down for more than Championship Sunday.

Yes. Jeff Jackson mentioned it on one of the broadcasts last week. 6 schools exceeded allotment and 1500 more all sessions than last year. Said the upper bowl would be open Friday, Saturday, Sunday for sure and trending toward Thursday as well.

Belmont set their record by selling 3.

Let's hold on to some coaches and players and make a big run as a league next year.

Yes!! That is awesome. Wish I had been watching whatever broadcast that was.

Arch Madness was up about 25% last year, and it was VERY noticeable if you were there. I was comparing last year's pics to the pics I took during the Loyola-dominant years and Fri-Sun were day and night.

I purposefully didn't buy all-sessions this year because my favorite seat in any venue is first row, upper deck -- and I have so much nostalgia for the days Arch Madness had the upper deck open. Looks like I'll be buying upper deck Fri thru Sun!!

Just listened to Jackson's comments on the Belmont/Murray game. Would be awesome to get 9k for Sunday and see the lower bowl sold out again Saturday.

Lots of grey on the map, is it nearly sold out for Session IV?

MVC can't seriously want attendance to f*ing improve if they are charging some of these costs. Why the hell would any random non-fan pay $45+fees to watch a play-in round? lol

Also... when I say + Fees, I really mean + fees. I was gonna run down and take an extended lunch break to watch MSU and Dana's final game but f that lol. A $45 ticket comes to, I kid you not, $64.10, after fees.

Fully agree the costs are nuts.

There is a coupon which takes the ticket costs for Sessions I & III down to $35 (+ $4 fees). $39 is a $25 haircut from $64.
