SECT ticket/seating questions

[Sutterkane]

So, with me living in the greater nashville area, I feel obliged to attend the state games this weekend. However, I am short on tickets. I am aware this has probably been covered 80 other times while Germany sacked Manchuria.

How do the "books" work? Do you basically get passes to games for specifically your team could potentially play in?
If so, does that mean I should've been at the Auburn/UF game last night hitting up Auburn fans?

How is it determined where each team's fans sit? If I would've hit up Auburn fans would I be sitting with MSU fans?

Or is it a "you got a ticket, you can attend any game in the tournament" sort of deal?

should be pretty cheap. Both semifinals are one session, so if Kentucky is in the other semifinal, it will be tough. If Kentucky were to lose to Alabama, you can probably find remaining tickets on the ground.

In my experience, the Saturday tickets are the hardest to find/most expensive when you find them. For some reason I have never had trouble finding championship tickets, even that year we played Kentucky in NOLA.

Tickets are sold by the book, which is all six sessions, all 11 games. There were two sessions (two tickets) yesterday. Each session had two games. There are two more sessions today, and then one on Saturday (two games) and one on Sunday (one game).

If you don't have tickets yet, expect to pay a lot. Your best two bets will be to go to the arena during the first session and look for fans of losing teams. They are probably looking to sell the whole book if they are pissed off and going home. The other option is to hit up the scalpers and see what they have just for tonight's session. The good part is that is when State plays, and not UK. Actually for tonight's session you might be able to find a decent one from a Kentucky fan but those people tend to go to every session, every game.

As long as Kentucky is still alive, tickets will be scarce. The upside of that is if you buy a whole book today, and we lose tonight, you will have no trouble getting your money back from a UK fan.

I bought four books '02 and only needed two. We were opposite Kentucky - I sold the individual session tickets to the Kentucky fans and ended up making the entire cost of both books, and paid for most of our meals.

One ticket gets you into one session. One session is two games. A book is a ticket to every session.

Since we are in a different session as UK and UT today. I doubt you have a problem finding a ticket for State's session. Tomorrow will be tough.

Could you imagine having tickets for the Sat and Sun sessions to this tournament? The tournament is in Nashville. Fewer tickets than the GA Dome. UT and UK having good years. The perfect storm......you could sell those bad boys and pay your trip for the next 2-3 years.

i went to both sessions yesterday and tix were scarce, not to mention the overload of UK blue. tix are more $$ this year due to UK, if you need tix try [email protected] or 615-948-5522, may not be the cheapest but it's a good source for tix to just about anything.

Where are the designated seating sections located for state? I know the arena pretty well since I go to a decent amount of preds games.

from what i saw yesterday there didn't appear to be many 'school sections', (unless it's UK blue which is everywhere) ARK & UGA had some fans grouped together but i don't know if it was a school thing. lower bowl is pretty $$$, i sat in 203 & liked the view. there were empty seats scattered around, especially in the 300s but my guess is they're becoming harder to get since UK won...if UT holds on the rematch will blow tix thru the roof.
