DWB Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 I know it's way early, but tickets go on sale tomorrow (8/15/23 @ 11:30 am) I contacted the IU ticket office and they told me they won't have any tickets for that game. Only the promoter. (sounds wierd, but...)

I'm sure you're right, as I was told that the season was a "sellout" and there weren't any tickets available to the public for this game. I probably mis-interpreted their response to mean nobody got tickets thru the IU office. I'm sorry for the confusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted August 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Just checked the various websites (ticketmaster, St Farm Arena, etc) and while the website promoting the event says tickets on sale now, nobody else, including ticketmaster even has the event on their calendars, much less tix for sale. Pisses me off. Promote it, then drop the ball on ticket sales. I signed up for email updates, and so far....crickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other game that day is Mississippi St vs TBD. Starting to wonder if these games will even happen. That's some piss poor planning on this promoter.

DWB Posted August 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Yeah, I FINALLY got an email about 6 hours after the tickets were to go on sale. They are right on top of things aren't they...idiots. Until I can actually order tix, I'm skeptical that Friday is a real date. Also, supposedly added Tulane to the 4-some of teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Did anyone get tickets? The better seats went fast. Got 2 in section 103. Should be fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy1987 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I ordered my tickets this morning through Ticketmaster. Needed a pre-sale code which the promoter emailed if you signed up with them ahead of time. I think it said general public sale is Monday. Fyi... $40 ticket and then $23.50 more in fees and taxes. 😡😡😡 Go Hoosiers!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last game I went to in the ATL was the IU-UK 2012 tournament game at the Georgia Dome.

DWB Posted August 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Tried to get tickets this morning, but the only delivery option was via text/image to your phone. No option to have them emailed to print at home. I don't have (or want) a smart phone, so not sure if I'll get tickets later or not. Personally I'm not crazy about sitting behind the backboard. Did that at an IU game and it wasn't all that great IMO. So I may just take the best seat in the house in front of the TV. I would like to go though and see it in person.

BeerBQ Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 I don’t plan on going, but visited Atlanta in December of 2022. I really enjoyed the city. The arena is close to Centennial Park (worth a stroll if you like the Olympics), the aquarium, the Coke museum, the college football HOF, and the Center for Civil Rights. I’d recommend the City Pass if you’re interested in any of them. Atlanta Underground seemed really cool but was shut down. It seems like there are talks about something going in there. If you’re interested in history/national parks the MLK Jr birthplace is there and free to visit. True to my name, Fox Bros BBQ is fantastic and probably the best I’ve had at a restaurant. Horned Owl brewing in Kennesaw was a really cool place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets requested through IU are lower sideline seats so would imagine same applies to the 3 other schools. Unsold allotments through the schools will either be gobbled up by higher demand schools, particularly IU, with remainder being offered to general public later. No timeline yet regarding when initial allocation of seats to ticket requestors through IU will be made based on priority points but wouldn’t count on it being soon. Vegas tickets last year were a fiasco and despite that extremely frustrating experience I opted back in to buy Auburn tickets through IU. Word last year was that the venue and promoter were difficult to deal with so fingers crossed that this year’s event handling will be different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted August 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Presale of tickets ends in a few days. General public offering starts Sept 15'ish. So if there are any sideline seats coming available I suspect it will be after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would be nice to get a marquee non-conference win. 9-2 non-conference with a win over Auburn is a lot better than 8-3 and losing every non-conference game against P6 tournament caliber teams.
