Same.Getting on a flight to Boston in a couple of hours and I still haven’t bought a ticket to the game. Hoping prices drop a little but definitely getting nervous given the game being 17 hours away
Starting to look like these may not come down all that much. Very little movement since last night, was hoping to wake up to the bottom having dropped out.

Sorry if wrong thread...
I'm here in BOS so went over to Hurricanes last night to check it out. Interestingly, many of the bars around TDG are closed except when there's an event but the crew was prepping for tonight. Manager was super cool.
FWIW - my preliminary plan is to hang at Hurricanes through halftime of UConn-SDSU game and then head to my nosebleed seats. Look for me - I'll be the guy wearing Illini gear.

I'm with you both. Prices aren't too bad. dropped to ~$200 per ticket on ticketmaster and stubhub. Keeping my eye on things, but definitely dropping the hammer by noon.
Very true
I know what you mean. I have eaten at both Boston's Little Italy and in Sienna, Italy.I highly recommend the Florentine Cafe, Mario's, Carmelina's, Davio's, or Ristorante Limoncello.
i just dined at Florentines 10 days ago, and the ragu was every bit as good as what I had in Sienna last fall . . . .
Ask me how I know . . .
We thank you for your sacrifices this time.
My stuffed Pork chop from the little Brick Oven arestuarant in the Italian District in Boston. It was very good and we all enjoyed it.

Happy to hear about some Loyalty members being in Boston! Wear orange, and be loud. 
If not for a 3-month old, Mrs. Fighter and I would have pulled the trigger and gone this year ... for one, I have always wanted to visit Boston, AND this team is special and deserves to be followed around in the kind of droves we saw for the 2005 squad. Maybe once the in-laws are back from their month-long spring training vacation in Arizona/Vegas, we can guilt them into a weekend of babysitting while we head to Arizona for the Final Four.

Just pulled the trigger while waiting for my (hour delayed, thanks Southwest!) flight at MDW.
Prices did tick down a bit but they seem to be stabilizing now and I saw total listings are around 400 when they were well over 500 last night so it looks like the late buyers have arrived.
See you all at Hurricanes!

Great to hear we will have a strong contingent there. If not for an upcoming move, would be there with you all!
I’m about to board my flight in ORD. No tix purchased yet. Mad at myself because there was a first row seat in section 305 for $302 (including fees) and didnt pull the trigger. Now I’m hoping that something better comes when I land. I’ll be inside regardless and it’ll all be worth it! See you all at Hurricanes.

Was able to snag a set of row 1 in 313 for $370 per, all-in.
Granted basically same seats could’ve been had for $330 all-in a day or two ago but I’m not losing sleep over 40 bucks for something of this magnitude.
Daydreaming about what these Saturday prices would tank to if SDSU somehow bounces UConn.

On a short layover in Baltimore from FLL, and of course my flight is delayed but hoping to touch down by 2.30p, hotel by 3p, and be at Hurricanes around 4ish.
For what it's worth, I got my tickets a few days ago for $1,600 (Inc fees) for both games tonight AND the Saturday game. A bit aggressive but for 3 top games, I (barley) justified it, see you all soon. I-L-L!!

At least you can see the sky. I was looking at a brick wall at one hotel I stayed at. At another I had a view of the lobby. I had no idea what was happening outside.
