that is just not true. And I say that as a Michigan fan that attended the game because I happened to be in the city that night.

100? Little cheap there RU but okay let’s SPREAD THE WORD about the $15 option!!! LETS GET STUDENTS TO THE GAME!!
(actually there should be a separate PINNED thread for this...)
I was thinking the same thing. Why is this board the only place I have heard anything about this game? No promotion at all.I'm not sure how much Rutgers can do given that it's a Michigan home game BUT I do find it weird that the Big Ten insists on doing this every year but doesn't promote it at all. Last year's Maryland-Illinois game got about 7,000.
It's a road gameAt the very least RU gotta give discounted tickets/shuttle. Students paying 100$ for a game usually seen for free? Hard sell even when we're good.

Bro, I was there as well. Even your comment about "happened to be in the city that night" smacks of condescension. Shows you didn't plan on attending the game but simply happened upon it. All I know is that the Michigan fans near us were pussies and had to move at halftime because they didn't like hearing that Herve was too quick for Michigan. You dope. RU students trained in and were loud. You aren't very bright are you now? Just asking little dude.

I assume if you were there you would be old enough to be a little more mature, but I guessed wrong.
I "happened" to be there because I lived in Ann Arbor and had planned a trip to NYC 3 months earlier to visit a friend. Certainly wasn't worrying about the possibility we would make the NIT and then play in the final when I booked airfare. Was in town so went to the game.
I'm laughing at the idea that Michigan fans were surprised there were Rutgers fans in attendance. It was a disappointing season for Michigan and nobody cared about the NIT, so nobody would have expected many Michigan fans to be there nor would anybody be surprised that some drunk Rutgers students could take a train to the arena and fill it up.
If that gets your panties in a wad, well that says something about you as a person.
Doesn't mean RU athletics can't try and make it a home gameIt's a road game
It does mean they are unlikely to underwrite student tickets to an extreme degree, as they have limited influence.Doesn't mean RU athletics can't try and make it a home game
Thanks for letting me know. Called and got our seat location 3rd row in section 10 on the aisle toward center court. Great seats for me as my bladder is about the size of a 4 yr. old boy. We'll be close and loud.I walked over to the ticket office window and asked when tickets were being mailed. They said mid January. Then I asked what seats I earned and they gave me the info with no problem. Call the ticket office and ask.
Ha ha. I am also in section 10, row 2 but at the baseline not center court. We can get a great R U chant going.Thanks for letting me know.

Also anyone know how I can send a couple RU kids to the game for $15 bucks? Willing to do this just don't know how as the site is a pain in the *** to navigate. Also I looked and couldn't find anything about this on the site.
Great to hear they made a portion of the avaliable tix more affordable!In case anyone needs to tickets, Ticketmaster released $35 seats(46 after fees) behind the basket. Just bought 8.
Tickets on the msg site behind the baskets are 35 plus fees. Ends up being 93 for a pair. Very reasonable.
Bought 5 in corner 114 mid-section last night for 55 plus fees = 72 each. Anyone know if there will be a Rutgers bar in the city to pregame at? We're planning to hit American Whiskey for a bit if they are open, but wondering if there is a NYC Rutgers Club event.
You are not. And, there will be limited concessions operating. Same thing that happened in Toronto.The wrestling match is at 1 pm and the basketball game is at 4:30. Does anyone know if you are allowed to leave the building between events?
Stopped at the Garden Box Office yesterday and picked up 2 tickets for $100 each in section 107. On stubhub the same tickets wer over $250 plus service charge per ticket. If you can, I would just go to the MSG box office and pick up tickets there, save on the service charge fee.
Why would there be limited concessions?
That's right. The staples will be open, the unique options, that make playing in an NBA venue special, will most likely not be open. Beer sales should be open.Usually the outside vendor type concessions don't like opening up if only half the building is open
Yes. Your ticket gets you admission to both. But you can certainly show up after the wrestling match and just go to the 4:30 basketball game. (If you want, you can even show up around 5:30, if you only want to watch the second half of the basketball game.)Looking to go and see tickets are still available on Stub Hub. Just briefly glanced through the comments here, so excuse me if this question has been answered... Can you skip the wrestling and just go for the bball game?!
Ok, thanks..I'd think you can leave in between hopefully ??? If we do go for the wrestling I'd like to run and grab some food before the basketball game.Yes. Your ticket gets you admission to both.

I was hoping you could leave between the wresting and basketball events. I think the wrestling takes about 2 hours, so it would be done by 3, and then there would be 1.5 hours of dead time until the basketball game starts at 4:30.
Unfortunately, you can't leave and reenter the venue. For those interested, overpriced food and beverages will be available inside MSG between the match and the game.Ok, thanks..I'd think you can leave in between hopefully ???

You lack reading comprehension Blockhead. My point was that the Michigan "fans" who deigned to grace us with their presence were shocked that RU Nation dominated the venue. That was my point you tool. Now climb back under that rock and continue to feel like a "Michigan Boy". Chuckle.
