At the game today, a rep from Barclay's sat down to next to me and asked me if I had problems getting tickets. He saw I was wearing a Villanova shirt, and asked me specifically if I was a Villanova fan before starting the conversation. To give complete transparency, I got 2 tickets on Wednesday for $150 each in section 122 off of StubHub. When it was all said and done the total price was $375, which I think is complete BS and is a friggin' sin because of all the fees, but what else can you do? Truth is these were BY FAR the 2 best tickets available in the lower section. After these 2 remaining tickets, everything else I saw was $200 and up.
I told the guy, obviously I didn't want to pay that much, but I wasn't going to miss the game. He said, well you can always get tickets off StubHub, but Jay Wright was upset that Villanova fans were having trouble getting tickets. Does anybody know the story with this? Was he talking about getting tickets from Barclays directly?
PS - There was definitely a decent showing by Villanova fans, but being in New York, I expected A LOT more. There was more of a crowd in the Temple / Iowa game, and watching the Michigan / ND game right now, Barclays looks like night and day. I know obviously timing has a lot to do with this, but still thought we could have done better.
