Just got an e-mail from a company called Primeticket the Official Ticket Exchange for the NCAA complete with the NCAA logo......they are asking almost double what my tix cost me for the same seats on the opposite side of the ice.....I thought the NCAA looked down on this type of transactions, maybe they do unless they are getting the money......anyone else get this and did anyone sell to this outfit

BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!
At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

You're sure the site is run by the NCAA? They probably distribute a large number of NCAA tickets, so they think they're all NCAA...

Re: NCAA Scalping Tix for Frozen 4
If those who have patronized this site for many years remember when there was a section we could buy and sell tickets to any game, the major rule was FACE value only......now the NCAA is inflating the ticket prices and it is not the right thing to do. If they are stuck with extra tickets then let the company try to sell them do so at FACE value and take the hit for moving a good tourney all over and to dumb venues. Bring back the seperate admissions for the Thursday games allowing us to go and eat at real restaurants and relax before returning to the rink for game 2. Its time the NCAA thought about us the fans who are supporting these programs and have been there for many years.

Yes I think it is scalping too. Shame on the NCAA for scalping and shame on them for changing the term "Final 4" to Basketball only so they could trademark it and make money selling basketball stuff.
Those who are commenting about the word "scalper" are doing so as a joke as a user named UAAFANTROLL or something like that is on a prolonged rant on another thread concerning the use of names involving Native American/First Nations terminology.

Re: NCAA Scalping Tix for Frozen 4
It would be pretty lame for the NCAA to shill scalped tickets at an event that is not even sold out yet. I just checked ticketmaster for and was offered a pair in 319. Tickets left folks.Last edited by LTsatch; 01-17-2012, 09:04 PM.YALE HOCKEY

Re: NCAA Scalping Tix for Frozen 4
There's a lot wrong with the NCAA in a lot of areas and their recent meeting to try and correct things I feel was just window dressing. What began as a good thing has transformed into a multi-million dollar corporation that doesn't seem non-profit to me and I don't for a second believe they'll really change.
