And unc gets screwed on the same side as us, so we don't have to look at 'em.

nice! good seats for Duke and unc gets screwed this year

But in Charlotte, cheat fans will buy up all the losers' tickets......day by day......and if they make the final, it'll be almost like the Dean's Myth Center for the title.

[uh_no]

maybe... but i wanted to have it on the record that there is no conspiracy to screw Duke out of good seats as is often stated whenever Duke gets the bad ones

Yeah it did seem like every year Duke was getting the end zone, so it's nice to see that's not the case this year!

I don't know how anyone could conclude that there is a conspiracy regarding the assignments of seating sections at the ACC Tournament, because that has been done on a rotational basis for as long as I can remember -- and we attended the tournament annually from the early 1990s until they decided to move it to D.C. and Brooklyn. Unfortunately, we were informed this year that, despite being Priority 2 level Iron Dukes and season ticket holders for more than two decades, we are no longer eligible to purchase ACC Tourney tickets. Indeed, I understand that there may not even be enough tickets for all Priority 1 Iron Dukes, and that the lower level seats in the Duke section will only be available to donors who have given over $1 million.

I can understand that one reason for the narrowing of access to ACC Tourney tickets is the simple fact that conference expansion has reduced the number of tickets allocated to each school. But during the period from about 2005-2015, we began to notice an increasing presence in the Duke section of UNC fans -- particularly in the front half of the lower level. When I inquired about this phenomenon, I was told that many of those seats were probably allocated to corporate donors who were entitled to purchase a larger number of ACC Tourney tickets in the premium seats and then resold them, but there was nothing the Iron Dukes could do about it.

In any event, while I'm glad to hear that Duke will have a favorable seating assignment for this year's ACC Tourney, I'm disappointed that we and our friends who used to attend each year as a group -- including a few who still post here -- can no longer enjoy the ability to share personally in that experience. I just hope that when we tune in to watch the games, we don't see the Duke section once again populated by rival fans.

I went a few times in the 80s.....Greensboro, Landover.....but now I have very little interest....other than Duke getting what they need most....wins for a seed, rest, whatever.

[MarkD83]

Is duke still a lock for the double bye?

[MarkD83]

I believe the Syracuse win locks up the double bye

[fisheyes]

Why does Duke get all of the handicapped seating?

Not bad. Duke's lower deck and upper deck sections have a good angle. And if you want another angle, there are a bunch of little blue squares all around the arena...

[wobatus]

I haven’t been to many ACC Tournaments. A couple of times in North Carolina. In 1981 my father took me to Landover to see the semis and finals.

In 2017 I bought tickets on stubhub for $10 for a noon start for UNC Miami. Nosebleeds, but by the time the game was over I had moved down to much better seats, since Syracuse fans had all bailed. Then I got to see some of Duke Louisville from the baseline. Then I had to get back to my office. It just isn’t a big deal for early round games in nyc. It should always be in NC.

[uh_no]

this is incorrect. duke needs one more win

yessir, it was glorious, especially in the eight or nine team days, but this ain't that. Really do miss that, plus I was undefeated in the K era (personally important when you buy plane tickets for a three or four day stay, since I had zero interest in watching any games after Duke went out). Absolutely loved the traditional Friday quarterfinals, solid hoop action from noon til nearly midnight, time for nice tailgating between afternoon and evening sessions, exhausting in a great sports way....then back to the hotel where childhood idol Sandy Koufax traditionally lurked along with Tommy Burleson and other luminaries.

(I am pretty stunned that a priority two guy like Stray Gator can't get ACC tickets this year, is that the Zion effect?)

Will they be serving wine and cheese this year?

[HereBeforeCoachK]

Will they be serving wine and cheese this year?

Unfortunately not...the wine and cheese crowd is who shows up for the noon Saturday game at the Myth Center against one of the lower half teams...they have a rabid following in Charlotte...many of whom drove to Greenville in 2017 and were not helpful....who will pile in as the tix become available....

[ACCfaninVirginia]

I believe the Syracuse win locks up the double bye

Barring a complete collapse, Duke, UVA and UNC will have double byes, only question is what seeding and which of the current 5 loss teams gets the last one. If remaining games go as they would be rated by vegas, only projected loss is the Duke-UNC game, so if that occurs, then if Duke beats UNC they would be top seed, UVA 2nd, UNC third. If UNC wins, then UVA would be top seed, UNC 2, and Duke 3 (tie breaker is head to head).

I'm a longtime Cardinal fan, but Sandy was one of my all-time favorite baseball players. Maybe the best lefthander of all time in my eyes.

I'm with you on the old days of the ACC tournament. That has changed with expansion and OAD players. Not saying the OAD days are wrong because you have to recruit the best players but I loved seeing the Shanes and Christians that stayed long enough to unpack their bags. GoDuke!

Isn’t it still cheaper to joint another schools sports booster program. In the naughts, after graduating, friends and I joined the FSU boosters and had no problem getting ACC tickets. This was in the era of 9 and then 12 teams so I don’t know how it is now.

It's interesting to hear how things work for other programs. This year will be the first year that I've made the cut to get tickets through VT. (I did not try to get tickets when the tournament was in Brooklyn.) For reference, my VT giving history would place me in roughly Priority 4 in the Iron Duke giving.

If you're making the trip to Blacksburg tomorrow, I hope it's a safe one for you.

It's the ACC Tournament. Assuming that the draconian NC state laws have been scrapped or fallen into disuse, you buy tickets from the losers. It is a good idea to show up on day one -- those teams' fans don't plan on staying.

It was always great watching the secondary market work, capitalism in action...losers pour out of the venue, winners lurk like buzzards for tickets...I know what you mean about the ultra stupid NC state laws, I believe I recall some of our luminaries being pursued through the crowd one afternoon by the anti scalping cop morons (talk about a victimless crime).

interesting mention of Sandy Koufax; I had heard he was a pretty fair basketball player in his young days, and came across this:

http://thebrooklyngame.com/sandy-koufax-bk-basketball-star-2/

“When he was growing up, baseball was neither Koufax’s dream nor his passion. His dream was to play for the New York Knicks…

Koufax didn’t play much basketball…until his family returned to Brooklyn, where every open space was a court, or a half court, and every fire escape ladder was a potential basket. Others practiced shooting; Koufax practice the anonymous, contentious skill of rebounding….

He scoured the borough in search of The Big Game, which invariably took place at Brighton Beach, where playground legends, college stars, and pros gathered to hone their games, and the game basketball could become. Back then, no one knew from vertical leap. Vertical was for skyscrapers. But Koufax had wattage in his legs, hands large enough to palm the ball, and he didn’t shy away from contact. On the playground, players asked: You sure this boy is white? “He was just a skinny Jewish kid in a bandanna who challenged our small little prejudices,” [Jerry] Della Femina said.

Well, since the title game is going to be Duke versus UVa, I guess we won't have to worry about that!

Isn’t it still cheaper to joint another schools sports booster program. In the naughts, after graduating, friends and I joined the FSU boosters and had no problem getting ACC tickets. This was in the era of 9 and then 12 teams so I don’t know how it is now.

From the late '90s through the mid-'00s, while we still resided in Tallahassee, I was able to buy as many ACC Tourney ticket books as I wanted from my friends and colleagues who were Golden Chief-level Seminole Boosters. One year, I came to Greensboro with more than two dozen ticket books for family members and a group of Duke friends -- most of whom originally met through the DBR, though only a few remain active on the boards. For a block of us sitting in the FSU section back then, it was great fun because not only did we enjoy the benefit of excellent lower level seats at face value, but the Seminole fans who attended were always friendly to us, and once their team was eliminated, most tended to cheer along with us for Duke rather than UNC or Maryland.

Unfortunately, by around 2010 or so, the FSU athletic administration caught on and started requiring that those boosters who ordered tickets had to pick them up at the arena "Will Call" window with a photo I.D. After that, we had to make do with the tickets we could get as Iron Dukes, and found to our displeasure that there were increasingly large numbers of UNC fans sitting in front of us in the premium Duke seats each March.

As others have mentioned, the ACC Tournament was a fabulous experience before expansion screwed it up. In some respects, it became the equivalent of an annual pilgrimage, in which you reunited with old friends for a long weekend of terrific hoops action and non-stop comraderie. And part of what made it so delightful was seeing many of the same faces among the fans of other schools around the conference each year -- people you might never speak to and whose names you never knew, but with whom you would smile and nod in recognition when you passed in the concourse or caught their eye from your seat.

The routine was familiar: The quarterfinals on Friday meant eating a big breakfast at the hotel (where, as Budwom reported, he and I would usually see Sandy Koufax at a nearby table, at least by Saturday morning), meeting up with other members of our group at an agreed spot around 10:30 a.m. to caravan into the parking lot so that we could park together and set up the tailgate, then filing into the arena to watch the first two games in the afternoon session before reassembling for the tailgate dinner and drinks during the intersession, and finally returning to our seats for the two evening games, which usually didn't end until midnight. Saturday brought the two semifinal games, followed by a group dinner at a fine local restaurant. And Sunday was the championship game, after which everyone scrambled off to various airports and interstates to get home in time to watch the NCAA Tourney seeding and brackets show. Good times, now gone forever except in fond memories . . .

My parents were part of a four couple/mixed team/ pilgrimage every year....(some UVa, some UNC, mostly Duke) for something like the first 35 ACCT's - starting in 1954 or whenever it started...until some of that group started passing away and the tradition sort of faded away. But you're right...it was a pilgrimage, like the Vikings visiting Valhalla....they planned their year around it.

I was one of the very grateful beneficiaries of Stray's (and FSU's unintended) benevolence back in those days as he mentions...we were very loyal Seminole fans (generally for but one day)....
Had wonderful trips back to the airport (loved the Billy Graham Parkway)...among the joyous memories was the time I took a photo of Jay (then Jason) Williams' mom holding his MVP trophy, and the
day I got to heckle that sourpuss Maryland fan Bob Novak after he started grousing on the Hertz bus about officiating....what else do Maryland fans do?

Heck, the ACC Tournament in its heyday (1960s to early 2000s) was special just living in North Carolina. Quarterfinal Friday was a virtual holiday, with businesses decorated, schools letting out early, local pubs jammed, wall-to-wall local news and newspaper coverage, and plenty of trash talking with neighbors and co-workers. And so many memorable games and storylines. A true celebration of college days, basketball, and local pride.

In some years, it was Thursday that was the virtual holiday, with the early games.....Friday were night semi finals and the title game on Saturday night.

[hallcity]

The tournament tickets are coming in books priced at $398, $498 or $598. I assume the higher priced books are for better seats. Does anyone know what Duke seating area each price corresponds to?

It is my understanding that $398 is the charge for the Upper Level seats. The more expensive are Lower Level, but I’m not sure the difference between $498 and $598 tickets.

It was beyond North Carolina. I grew up in Virginia watching the ACC tournament first round in school on Friday afternoons. (I guess that will somewhat give away my age.)

Best way to get tickets is to buy from scalpers 5 minutes before game time - Don’t recall the exact year but one year I had ease of going with a friend and we paid $10 for prime seats in the middle of the UNC section (don’t know why those were still available but a scalper was desperate to sell); Friend and I had pleasure of cheering for UNC’s opponent as they thrashed UNC and enjoyi g the dismayed looks on the Tar Heels fans faces!

[CameronBornAndBred]

Yup. I never heard of schools letting out early, but this was our Friday in Durham. The teachers knew it was pointless to try to captivate attention spans, and most of them were just as invested as the students in the games.

When I was a kid, the World Series games were played over the school P.A. system.

To me there are 4 levels of seeds.

1-4 get a Double bye
5-7 get a Single Bye and play a tired team
8 and 9 get a bye but play each other and neither team has played the day before. If that NC State v Clemson that's a tough one.
10-15 have to start on day 1

i think the first class can be split into 1 and not 1 as well. GIven there are there teams clear and away better than the rest, avoiding the others until the final is a huge potential advantage.

I've done this for a good friend. I'm planning on attending 2nd weekend of NCAA's in DC, not ACC this year. Hoping to get tix from same Dr. Feelgood for that weekend. It's possible, if I get 4 there, I could might slip one or two elsewhere:cool:

Thanks for reminding me about that woeful game against Mercer. Me, sitting on the floor in front of 700 Mercer students (something like that), for a ticket I paid some decent cash for, only to walk away crushed. Then, still met you at Bottle Rev, correct? Ugh, what a game!!

Come to think of it, I blame Bob!!!;)

When you receive your tickets, don’t be surprised to see them marked as “GA.” Those are the first tickets you encounter. That’s only for the Tuesday games. The tickets for the other days have assigned sections and seats.
