[QUOTE="battle, post: 1607727, member: 395895"] I know this isn't a ticket thread but it is a tourny story ... the mad rush for 16/8 tickets is over. Strategy was [I]simple[/I] - buy 4 tickets to each of the four Elite 8 games and sell the three non-Illini games once NCAA announces 16/8 game info. By 9:30 had one window open for each game using laptop (my wife) and desktop (me). Adrenaline rush beforehand ... before 10 am you enter lobby. at 10 am you entered queue (it told you how many in front of you), then on your turn you select tickets. On your turn it often tells you someone beat to those seats. When its your turn we just clicked the first seats that came up .... if lucky and get Next, you enter card info. Numerous times it gave us a "processing error - its us not you" and kicked you back to queue. Well punchline is somehow by 10:20 we had succeeded!!! ... only to find out that we had bought three sets of tickets for Mar 29 South Lucas court and one set for Mar 30 North -arghh. We then bought one set for 30 South. We also have one set to sweet 16 May 27 Bankers game 2. Hoping Illini are Mar 29 South. [/QUOTE]
