2012 NCAA basketball tournament tickets - omaha

I'm not inferring that WSU will make the dance or play in Omaha, but I'd love to make the trip up if anyone would have extra tickets for sale. I think Creighton fans got first dibs at buying them so if anyone knows they'll have extras let me know.

If Creighton makes the tournament at a site somewhere near Omaha (not sure of all the sites in 2012), I'll sell you my extras and go watch the Jays.

I'll most certainly have some available, but the number will depend on who actually gets sent to Omaha.

Be aware that the NCAA jacked the ticket prices way up this year too. Omaha had two price options when we ordered and I'm not sure how that is going to work as far as seat locations.

Very true. I think it's like $265 for tickets to the six games? Had anyone heard anything else from CU about this? I received an email receipt many months ago when purchased but nothing since.

I will not giveaway, sell or trade my tickets. Sorry to be a jerk about this, but they are MINE!!!!!

The remaining tickets will go one sale Saturday at 9am and are open to the public.

About 3,500 tickets to the NCAA second- and third-round event at CenturyLink Center on March 16 and 18 (Friday and Sunday) will go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. That's about 2,000 more than were available to the general public in 2008, but that's not the only difference, said Kevin Sarver, the event's ticket manager and Creighton associate athletic director.

This time, the public sale is through the NCAA only and on a first-come basis online and by telephone. Beginning at 10 a.m., you can charge online at

www.ncaa.com/mbbtickets
or call 877-NCAA-TIX.

According to Sarver, you can purchase up to eight tickets, at either $267 or $240 per ticket. Once they're gone, they're gone.

And, here's another catch: The sale at 10 a.m. is open to the entire country. All second- and third-round sites will go on sale at that time. So you'll be jockeying online and on the phone with college hoop fans nationwide. And, anyone in the country can purchase tickets to Omaha.

Creighton season ticket holders who bought NCAA tickets were informed of their seat locations today. I'd guess those that remain are probably upper bowl end zone seats. I'm sure they will sell out fast though.

Does anyone know if all of these tickets sold?
