Anyone headed to Maui?

Recommended Posts

I'm hoping to get out there this year, although I'm not 100 percent sure I can make it happen. But if I do, it would be great to have a BTownBanners get together. Terry, are you headed out there this year?

I am definitely there, but am having a difficult time locating tickets.  Maui Invitational informed me the IU purchased all the tickets and we are unable to purchase through them or Ticket West.  Just curious if there is a source I'm unaware of.

I'm still waiting for them to open up the tix as well.

I tried to purchase yesterday during the presale but all IU tickets were sold out. According to the Maui Invite representative I spoke with, the only tickets left are school specific booster packages that grant you access to that school's three games (IU and KU are sold out).

 

It appears the only way to get IU or KU tickets would be through a $2,000+ vacation package. Single game tickets, based on availability, will go on sale Nov. 20.

 

Looks like I may have to sit this one out as Nov. 20 is pretty late to be booking a vacation.

 

I'll keep you all updated on anything else I hear.

I have been twice before and this is the first time I have not been able to get tickets. As the TicketWest site opened, I could only get 1 partial booster ticket. I called the IU ticket office and asked about Maui tickets and the kid said "mailing" tickets?? Lol. He must of had to ask his manager where and what Maui was. I guess the only way to get tickets will be to scalp them. Nonetheless, we will be on the island.

I called the Varsity club, the Alumni association, ticket office. I also emailed the Maui invitational folks and Mens BBall.

Getting kind of P'd Off since i already have my plane tix and the condo set. They really messed this one up, in my opinion.

Here is what i have found out so far.....

1. The Varsity club has a waiting list of people who are waiting on tix. The only tix they received were for the the vacation packages and those all sold. The Maui folks said that they "might" have tix left over from the other universities but the Varsity club folks doubt it and told me it there is a "slight" chance but don't count on it.

2. No tix on stubhub

3. No tix left on the Maui hoops club pre-sale, which means there won't be any when they open up regular sales on the 20th or whenever they said they are doing it.

4. They are opening up individual tix sales on 20 NOV as Prideoffeelane stated. That is some BS!

 

I threatened my wife of not going to HI if we don't get tickets to the game and was quickly corrected~I guess getting out of Alaska in Winter is more important than just going to watch IU play in the tourney...... Hmmphhhhhhh! So, i will be on the island with bells on....and NO friggin Tickets! I will be soooo pissed if that happens

You didn't really expect that to go over well did you?  I'm not married and even I can tell you that's not a smart idea.
