But, Georgetown season ticketholders will have access to the tickets and we can then sell them to Duke fans for 10x face value in order to finance our trips to the regional finals and Final Four where the Hoyas will be playing!

Can someone please remind us how this worked last time (05-06, I think)? Are we automatically offered tickets; how much extra were they; is there a 1:1 ratio of FF tix to season tix? |

Does Gtown get any money from "hosting" these games as it is mostly nominally?

Looks like Phila is the only east coast city for the second and third rounds. It is will be a true road show for the HOYAS to make it to Atlanta.

It looks like the host university keeps a share of the ticket sales, but I can't imagine it would equal the manhours invested by University employees and volunteers over the course of the year. UNC Charlotte claims to have made $200k for hosting the first weekend in 2011. Perhaps some small fraction of the windfall for the arena owner might possibly maybe find its way back to his alma mater? |

The AD (Muir) mentioned at a HHC event at the booth that we made $150K for handling the last sweet 16 and that there was no increse in staff costs to do it. That's a typical overuse of an understaffed department.

We might be able to raise that kind of coin if Lic agrees to post like an adult for a season or two. wowowowowowowow |

All I know is Syracuse wanted to host this very badly. And we got it instead.
So, we win.

Since Syracuse will soon be in the ACC, they can host the Southern Regional.

for the first weekend, you not only cant be playing at the site you are hosting, they also put you on a different day, i havent seen any mention of that being the policy for the regionals so i am assuming it isnt but anyone know?
Staples Ctr in LA is the west regional site that is the same days at the east regional, hope that doesnt mean we cant be sent out west.

I thought Verizon was scheduled for the 1st 2 rounds in 2014 will this impact that?

As a heads up to season ticket holders you should be getting notification this morning of how to purchase tickets for the 2013 East Regionals. I got this email last week:
"As announced by the NCAA, the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball East Regional will be hosted by Georgetown University and played at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
As a thank you for your support of Georgetown Men's Basketball and Georgetown University Athletics, you will be eligible to purchase tickets to this event through a priority pre-sale.
Tickets will go on sale on Monday, July 30 at 10 AM. You will receive a separate e-mail on the morning of July 30 with instructions on how to purchase your tickets. The e-mail will be sent from this e-mail address (hoyatickets@georgetown.edu).
Availability of tickets during the pre-sale is not guaranteed and tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. More information on prices, locations, and the ordering process, among other things, will be included in the e-mail sent on the morning of July 30. This e-mail is to alert you of the pre-sale; no action can be taken at this time.
Please note: the Georgetown men’s basketball team is not eligible to play at this NCAA Regional site.
Thank you for your support of the Hoyas. Hoya Saxa."
