Did any of you who have purchased tickets to the B1G Tournament get an email from something called Minnesota Sports and Events indicating a pre sale of tickets starting November 27? Public tickets on sale starting November 29.
I've never heard of this outfit, but it sounds like a consortium of the pro teams and other organizations that are involved in hosting sporting events in the metro area and coordinates marketing opportunities and volunteers for the events.
Not surprisingly, when I called the U ticket office, no one knew anything about this group or what they were doing and encouraged me to wait until tickets were available through them sometime in December. True to form, they said they don't know how many tickets, location or anything else about the allocation.
Based on the email address they used, I think they got the information from Ticketmaster.
I'll probably take them up to at least see what they are offering in this advance sale and if the seats are decent. I've been concerned that local demand would make getting lower bowl seats harder than when we have been out of town.
