I have a couple of sons and friends that are in High School that want to make a week out of the tournament which coincidentally falls on their Spring Break. From a small school outside of the metro and have already booked them a hotel room at the Kelley Inn. Is there anyway I can ensure that they get tickets without making them stand in line before the sessions? Or am I going to have to pay a ridiculous amount of money on an e-broker?

Thanks for all help/suggestions!

Class A tickets - no problem, as they are available at the door.

Class AA tickets - they are going to have to work a little harder for. E-broker or someone on the opposite side of Kellogg (can't scalp on X property anymore) should be able to help them out.

not sure but try the MSHSL website. otherwise I will take your rooms. J/K

I haven't been to the tourney since the last year it was played at the Target Center when the X was going up..... Do all the AA tickets go directly to the schools? Or if they get to the lines early enough, they should be able to get them?

Did you not have luck with ticketmaster?

I didn't have any problems walking up to the door for tickets. For the first round, AA, I did get them through my school, but after hill got bounced I got there a little while before the first game of the session and didn't have any problems. The even worked for the championship game.

As always use discretion when doing business.

if you want A you will have no problem buying them at the door but for the AA it will be a bit harder you can get on the waiting list at MSHSL.com but that will get you them in a year or two or you van try E-book or the scalpers on the opposite side of kellogg but both of those will cost you a little bit

I already did that if you read my first post. E-broker tickets are costing 55-100 dollars for session passes, when face price is 11$. For some reason, I don't think high school kids will go for it.

Can you buy a session pass at the door for all of the games?

No, you have to buy tickets for each individual session at the door. The only day that you really have to worry about is Thursday, because they have 19,000 + that day. If there is a team in your area that makes the tourney, I would suggest going to that school and buying tickets for their session. I haven't ever been turned down for ticket while standing in line, but it is a hassle standing out there for an hour or two.

What time would you recommend standing in line?

i guess ive never had issues getting tickets to the tourney. Last years final i walked up to the Xcel box office and bought a ticket for the upper deck. Of course i stood on the rail of LL but it was great. I got there about 2 hours before game time

Probably right as you leave a session, you might want to hop in line for the next one.

Have set of tiickets for all A games for sale at face value P.M me if interested

Check cragslist.com

Best bet in my opinion is the scalpers outside. If you are willing to wait a little bit, maybe miss a few minutes of the first game the tickets really come down in price.

Friday and Saturday Class AA tickets available.
4 seats section 118. Can't attend these sessions.
Must buy consolation tickets too.

There is some on e-bay

I sent you a PM about the tickets. If they are still available I'm interested in buying them. Let me know.
