I suspect that this is a ominous sign of things to come, the Well Fargo arena is currently selling all session tickets for $1900.. I suppose that I am slow on the acceptance process, it seems like the tournament has become a luxury item/ event.. $1900 per ticket is just too much for me given how well ESPN and Flo cover it these days.

I suppose there is still hope for getting a ticket through the ticket office, this is the last time I will be making travel arrangements ahead of time for this tournament. I have already got a hotel and plane tickets through Expedia that are non refundable..
You will not have to pay $1,900 for All session tickets. Be patient. It will be late February before tickets for the schools will be available.
It’s worth going even if you don’t attend much of the tournament.
The PWC is sponsoring get together events between sessions and tickets will be available for much less the closer we get.
Its still a pricey trip even if you get tix at a reasonable price. Flights, hotels, commuting daily (hotels near the event are easily $500 a night), food, overpriced beverages and then whatever you pay for tickets (say $500 each). 2 people, flying out of Tulsa, its easily a $4k trip for a 3 day event imo.
Man, blood round is the best few hours in sports, of the year.
I don’t get choked up when Tom Brady runs and hugs his baby mama and the fist pumps by billionaire owners.
It’s like when Tuff rode an extra 8 seconds when a kid a follow fights and becomes an AA. So, 4K is cheap for our version of the Super Bowl.
It is definitely cheap when compared to other sports championships. We went to Vegas the last two years for CKLV and went to KC for NCAAs last march. KC was great and of course it was driving distance and there was plenty of bars and restaurants and bars right outside the venue, plenty of good hotels close, and it seemed like it was completely safe in that area. Great trip all around.
But I''m hearing that is possibly not the case in Philly. We still thought hard about going but the wife will be having a procedure the Friday before and wont be healed up in time to make the trip.
You'll be missed!
Philly does seem like a less than adequate place to host, but, it is what it is. I've been to quite a few and I'll rank them from my viewpoints.
-St. Louis 3x
-OKC 2x
-Tulsa 1x
-KC 1x
and I've been to another, but I cant remember which?
Philly has a lot of stuff, but not much in the area of the arena. I don't love the city (or even like the city🤣). Football and baseball stadiums are in the vicinity, but not a lot of restaurants or things to do from what I remember, so plan for uber depending on where you are staying - either between sessions or to and from the arena.
Philly has a lot of great historic places to visit and I really enjoyed the last NCAA tournament held there. I would rank it high in terms of past tournaments and I have been to many. Already have room booked there for KC Scott and I and I am definitely looking forward to it.
