I had a window up for the Cal Poly game and closed at like 8:31am by accident and when I tried to reserve them again I was too late =( I got tickets to the other two games though

EDIT - Tickets for those three games are sold out!

Well that was disappointing. Trying to make my first trip to Cameron from Phoenix and I got shutout.

I guess it'll have to wait another year.

Just keep on the look out. I'm sure some more tickets will come available later in the season when either the iron duke's or season ticket holders return their unused tickets back to the ticket office.

There's also a ticket flea market between Cameron and Wade for about an hour before games. Bring cash.

I sat 10 rows behind the Duke bench two years ago for the Maryland game for about $80.

I was fortunate enough to get tix to the UAB game.

Well I'd have no problem with that if I didn't live in Phoenix. Booking a flight without tickets isn't necessarily on my list of things to do in this economy. :)

Check ebay but from my experience the only way to go is with the general/student admission tickets so you can experience what it is like to be a Cameron Crazie.

I still dream of being in the student section for an ACC game at Cameron but I realize that may never happen.

As much as this might make me seem as an old timer (which I'm not) I really enjoy watching the games in the upper level. Plus, there's a little more room as long as your not in the upper corners of Cameron. :)

I got two tickets to the UAB and Elon game, but I was so mad I didn't get tickets for the Cal Poly game that I looked on a few different ticket sites and found a GA ticket (section 17) for $100 ($135 with fees/shipping). I'm pretty sure that's the student section. Is that possible? The students will be there I would think. Here's the link and there is six tickets left.

Yes, that's correct. For certain games however, it's sold as general admissions.

I am pretty sure that is an exhibition game just so you know. I am sure it would be fun still but $100 per ticket for a preseason game is kinda expensive if you ask me.

I agree and I would almost be certain that if you wanted to go bad enough, there would be people selling them outside for face value.

Yeah it's expensive I know, but it doesn't bother me one bit to spend the extra cash. Yeah it's definitely an exhibition too.

It's an exhibition game. There's a fair chance someone outside might give you a ticket for free.

Looks like it is the McGrupp method for me. I logged on at 8:45, and all the games were already sold out! That is pretty impressive. How much were they, $50?

$65 for Elon and UAB

I paid $60 for UAB plus $2 ticket fee (just checked my invoice).

It's hard to believe that the tickets to the exhibition game against Cal Poly were higher then the Elon and UAB games. Anyone know why this is??

I was just checking ebay and they have quite a few tix for the Elon and UAB games. This kind of ticked me off because it means a decent amount of non-Duke fans were buying tix and people on here got snubbed.

I guess they know it is a tough ticket and they can make some money. Still makes me mad though.

The Duke Ticket Office still has tickets available as bundle packages for the entire CBE "Final Four" in Kansas City. I'm definitely heading to Missouri for the event -- I go to at least one or two Duke games a year, and, from my home in Ohio, this is about the closest I'll get -- but I am undecided as to how I should purchase my tickets. I'll be going with a fellow Duke fanatic friend of mine.

The tickets through the Duke TO are obviously much cheaper than tickets via Stub Hub or Ticket Master, for the most part (Duke TO has its bundle package listed at $135), but am I almost certain to get upper levels at the Sprint Center if I go that route? (Considering it's a random draw.) Who else here has bought tickets for the CBE through the Duke TO?

Decisions, decisions.. Either way, it's much worth it.
