Illinois NIT tickets: "I feel like this was a classic bait and switch"

According to IlliniHQ, they have sold 6400 seats. Somewhere during the day, when they realized that more than 2,200 people wanted reserved seats (A-capacity), they magically inserted a line that there would be reserved seats in A AND B section. I'm pretty irritated with the ticket office and the I-fund right now. I was online at 5AM yesterday ordering what I thought were 8 A-section seats at $25 apiece. Now I've got 8 B-section seats, 10 rows up, for that same amount of money.

I understand why they would do this, but they should have just expected more than 2,200 to want reserved seating and created reserved price points for A&B section. I feel like this was a classic bait and switch. Just waiting until 9AM so I can call to voice my complaints.
