Is anyone going to San Antonio?

[ThemDukeBoys]

I happen to plan a "work trip" to Austin TX April 2-4 and I am 100% planning on going....is anyone else headed out?

 

[Dukebonedoc]

I’ll be there if Duke is in it! I already took all 4 days off!

NICE! I have a room booked here: Fairfield Inn & Suites San Antonio Downtown/Market Square which is less than 2 miles from the Alamodome.

I havent booked tickets yet, where are you planning on getting them?

 

[pisgah101]

If so I hope you'll take Charlie Pride

 

[skysdad]

can't make it. probably just have a piece of Apple Pie Alamo. OFC

 

[Another#1Dukie]

I'll be there. We have a crew that goes every year. 2 uncheats, 2 Dukies and 1 UK fan. 1 Duke and 1 cheat fan are from Toronto. The rest of us are from NC. It's been a great annual trip that you need really thick skin for!

I have tickets and a hotel booked, but only going if Duke is there.

 

[Baller224]

I’ll be there. I haven’t got tickets yet but I do have a hotel. I had tickets through the lottery last year and jinxed it so I’m waiting until they seal the deal to get tickets this time.

Where do you plan on buying tickets? Prime sports? Stub hub? scalping?

Im not sure where Ill get mine, Ive never scalped before but friends tell me its not nearly as sketchy as you'd think...

 

[HuffyJB]

I'll be there - ideally to see Duke, but I'll be there regardless.

I live in Houston so I will be there if Duke makes the final game. I don't want to see Duke lose in the final four, so I would rather wait and see if they get to the big game. If they lose there, well, at least I got to see a national title game live. I've seen Duke play three times live, all in Houston. 2010 against Baylor and Purdue, and 2015 against the Zags. We win every time I go to see them live so I'm not saying I'm good luck but......

My picture to the left was after they beat Baylor in Houston. It was bad azzzzz being surrounded by Baylor fans leaving with tears in their eyes lol

Yea you can get tix pretty easily on the street.

I have tickets, bought through PrimeSport. However if duke doesn’t get there I will be selling. I have been through this process before and the price skyrockets the week leading up when teams are in place.

 

[Quavarius]

Can we get some folks to Omaha, NE first

 

[dukebluesTX]

Lots of tickets go on sale after the final four when fans sell tickets due to their teams losing. Lots of empty seats too (in 2011 there were a ton of empty seats in Houston when Uconn won)

 

[ThemDukeBoys]

So it is worth waiting till day of and scalp?

 

[dukiejay]

I'm still working on it. I'm reading that ticket prices for the Midwest regional are almost double the other regions. My wife and I are trying to find three tickets so we can bring our oldest daughter, too.

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

Thought about it, but I would only go if I could surprise my dad with tickets. He’s a huge KU fan, so, oddly enough, I would only consider going if KU was in the final four. But, I don’t think KU has a very good chance to win it all and I don’t want to surprise him with tickets to a game his team is likely to lose.

Thought about doing the same with Omaha but then there’s a chance we would be at a game where one of us is guaranteed to leave mad (Duke vs. KU in the elite 8).

Now, I’m thinking of using my winnings to get tickets to UNC vs Duke at Cameron next year. We both hate UNC, so we’d have common ground.

What did you profit total?

Does your dad play golf? I think you should use your winnings to take me and him to Pebble Beach!!

You mind if I room with you? I’ll take the couch if you want.

 

[Austinkc445]

Really sucks that if Duke makes it into the Final Four this year I won't be able to watch it. Fortunately I'll be done training by football season though lol.

 

[LONMUNU]

My best friend lives in San Antonio so if Duke makes it I plan on going. I’ll figure tickets out when I get there I guess lol.

$6,350. Best weekend trip ever! We used Fat Jack’s sports picks. He went 7-0 combined on Saturday and Sunday. I took his 3 Sunday picks and added Cuse +10 for a $100 4-leg parlay that paid $1300.

My dad won $1200-1400. He isn’t methodical about keeping records of his bets.

Not anymore. Bad ankle and shoulder. It was hard on him just walking to place bets. He needs ankle surgery, but keeps putting it off bc of the 6 month recovery time.

I’ve done a lot of research on all of the tickets sites and primesport seems to be the cheapest.

Stubhub offers the insurance for $10-15 if you “can’t attend”
