Received an e-mail to purchase NCAA Tix for Verizon Center, March 17 - March 19, 2011.
Limit of four. Get 'em while their hot. Unfortunately, since we are the host school and it is our home court, Hoyas can't play there.

Question: Do they try and set it up so that a team plays on the opposite days of those that they're hosting? I.e. Since we're hosting on the 17th/19th would they try and put Georgetown into a 18th/20th pod so that Georgetown fans can go to the site they're hosting but still watch their team on tv?

Frankly, my guess is they don't even think about it. But that is pure speculation on my part.

I was concerned with not knowing where your seats will be until they send them out. Do we get better seats because we are the host school? And then does G'town give out seats based on donation levels? I guess I could ask the ticket department...

I inferred that the host school (see reference to review by host ticket office personnel, i.e., GU Ticket Office) makes the seating determination based upon donation levels:
"You will be purchasing tickets for a "general access" event; therefore, specific seat locations will not be available while submitting your ticket order. After the deadline to purchase tickets has passed, all order data will be reviewed by the host ticket office personnel who will begin fulfilling the orders. Actual seat assignments may not be available until tickets are shipped in February, 2011."
Don't know if we get better seats because we are the host school.
BTW, the year UConn played George Mason at VC, I chose to forego using the tickets and put them on Stubhub. Made $6,000 on 4, believe it or not. Seats were lower bowl, in the corners. So, in my experience if you can afford to tie up $1,000 for a year, it might be worth a flyer.
