Thinking about making the trip if I can get off work. I got a brother in law who lives up there, so free place to stay. What are we thinking about ticket prices? Looking like 220-250 per to get in the door right now. Do yal think they will come down or go up as the week goes? I'll probably go regardless but don't want to overpay if I can keep from it. GO CATS

Cheapest I found were 200 for uppers. Found some at the top of the lower ring for around 500.
 
Pretty expensive tickets. $800 each for LL.

$200+ for nosebleed.

Probably won’t change much.

Best bet is to buy on the street on game day.

Those $200 seats are awful in Lucas Oil.

But we’re going Sunday as long as the Cats are.

Does anyone know when Kentucky will do doing their shoot around/practice thing? It was free and open to the public last time they were here. Has anyone seen details about it yet?

Man just get a grand out of the bank and go have fun. Not very often we get this close to home and epic Kentucky vs Tennessee battle. I can make Sundays game if we make it. I just don't wanna risk the bad ju ju of us losing when I attend any game last 2 years. Indy will look like Nashville I hope and lift our guys up to the task. We all know the assignment and I wanna do my part also.

Yea man that's what I'm thinking. Hope boss man let's me take a halfday friday so I can get up there!
 
Bought tickets for $200 as before the UK was over. There were still a few left on Ticketmaster then. Now it’s all resell.
 
Well the NCAA official site has 0 tickets available except the fan experience ones at 1500 -1600 a piece. I’m probably headed over that way Friday and buy tickets before the game starts on the street. Had good luck back in 2018 doing the same thing when KY played Northern the first round

Lots of tickets left on ticketmaster blue seats not resale. And the more seats they sale they will open up more sections

How does buying them off the street work these days? I've heard horror stories of very legit looking fake tickets. And with how tickets are more digital these days, how does one even buy off the street confidently?

You stay away then! I would but I’m a weirdo superstious fan when it comes to Kentucky lol.
 
I will be there for EE after we beat Tennessee on Friday.

A vendor has a suite n offered me to have it for the weekend . It's a skybox so view won't be great an likely watching mostly on monitor... . But free beer , dogs/brats , an atmosphere is pretty nice. Just the 3 hr drive to Indy is a pain but got a room booked thru Sunday.
 
Heading up Friday morning. Have tickets for Friday. Buying tickets for Sunday today and if they lose can sell. But I won't be selling.

I was wondering the same thing. Hope somebody responds.

It's different now. They call them "flash" tickets. They send it to your phone. First time I bought them I was sure we would be turned away at the gate. But we got right in. And the first time was at Lucas Oil. We have bought many since. never been a problem. But it's always an adventure too.

Thanks for the info. How did the price compare to online?

The tickets are close to the same listed price on line. But you skip the fees. Closer to game time the tickets get cheaper. The risk is losing out though.

Only problem we have ever had, well averted problem, was in Chicago at the United Center. We had uppers and were trying to trade them out side with a scalper for lowers. A security guard caught my attention and told me to not buy them. I asked him when we got to the door if it was illegal and he said no, that guy passes off bad tickets. These were paper tickets. So the guard saved me some money. We just watch us lose to Kansas in bad seats.

Good to know. Thanks!
 
As soon as we won I went online and ticket prices are horrible. Yes, you can sit in the upper section but when I go to a game, I want to see the game and those prices are just crappy high.
Two weeks ago my wife bought me a new TV for my birthday; a Sony Bravia XR A 95L 77 inch with a really good sound bar, had it hung on my wall and when I got home she said happy birthday.
This TV is really nice.

So, I will be in Indy in spirit but sitting in my recliner with a great view of the game.
 
Anyone know what time the game sunday would be if and when we win?
Sunday of elite 8 is always 2:20 or 5:05 eastern I believe. No way to guess which one we’ll be at this point between those but game should be over by 7:30 at the “latest” if that’s what you’re planning for.

Great...thanks for passing all of that along.
 
Really, REALLY hope BBN puts out a showing in INDY and backs these boys up!

The good news (I THINK) is that Purdue will have a good contingent there as well, and I THINK they will be cheering for us. Think they would rather play the "injured, beat up" 3 seed than a full healthy 2 seed TN. So they SHOULD root for UK.

I'm going. Looking forward to it. I suspect that Purdue will have the most fans (local venue and they had a full day head start), followed by UK and UT both with a bunch.

For whatever it's worth, ticket prices seem to be INCREASING for lower level seats as the week wears on.I bought mine sunday night and similar seats are now 200-300 more expensive.
