according to a friend who went at 12:30, all the wooster allotted tickets were gone in 30 mins. i called Salem direct and we're in row 17, section B9....get 'em while you (maybe) can..   :-\
You supply the knees - we'll supply the kilts.

well here's the deal with Salem. Last year you have a "seat" but its not like its impossible to move around in there. That is impressive of Wooster to sell out their tickets. Wish i could go down there. Well Saturday night could be double the celebration.....
WE ARE.................PENN STATE!

Just call 540-375-3004. There are plenty of seats in Wooster's quarter of the arena. Tell them you want to sit in Wooster's sections and you will be fine.

Pat, I did call them.  They have seats in the Wooster section, but only in the upper level.  I'm just disappointed that after getting to the ticket window early all of the good seats are either gone or being reserved.  It seems to me that Wooster (and the other teams) could have been given two lower sections each instead of just one.

Ok, I just talked to someone in the Wooster Athletic Ticket Office.  They have completely sold out the initial allotment of tickets that they received, so no more are being sold today.

They called down to the Civic Center and 400 more tickets are being sent to Wooster via overnight mail.  They expect to receive them around 10 AM tomorrow and will open the ticket windows at NOON.  The tickets will be directly at one end of the court, under the basket, presumably adjacent to the original corner location of the other Wooster tickets.

Meet me in the lobby for brunch. :)

Are you talking about the five rows of chairs behind the bench? (The sections marked C on this chart ...)

That's hardly lower level and upper level. You can still shout about the refs from the B sections and you will be so close to the floor you can spit on it.

Just don't spit, please. :)

I have never spit at a ref in my life; always confine that to media types. :)

The seating chart that they had at Wooster made it look more like ten rows and the woman selling the tickets said that there was a definite distinction between the lower and upper seats.  Maybe she's misinformed, I don't know.

I found a couple of pictures from the Civic Center earlier and it looks like the end line seats are way back, behind a portable metal fence.

I'm going down there, ticket in hand or not.  I'm just trying to decide whether to buy a poor ticket now or hope that I can finagle a better one at the door for a few more bucks.  I just like to sit close, not just to referee bait, but because my eyes are no longer the greatest.

I realize that I have no credibility on this issue with you (;)) but I will say that the B-section seats are definitely better than the A-section (i.e., behind the baskets) seats.  There are some, like Point Special, who prefer the end seats for the different perspective, but at Salem there is a pretty substantial buffer between the court and these seats.  That's where in the past at least part of the student sections have (wisely) been located, as well as the pep bands.  The B-section seats can get pretty high, but the higher seats tend not be sold.  IIRC, the main walkways are what divides the B-s from the C-s (courtside), but the lower 15 rows or so of the B's are plenty close enough to the court for a good view.  I don't know what it takes to get courtside seats (I hesitate to call them C-section seats...eww), but I'm satisfied that I'm not important enough for them, never have been, and never will be.

If you can get seats anywhere in B-9 or B-11 (I think that's the Wooster quadrant), I think you'd like them better than seats behind the baselines.

That's why I suggested the B section seats.

 Any ideas were the Wooster team or fans will be staying in Salem/Roanoke this weekend? Maybe Wooster fans could arrange for a post-game celebration(s) Friday and Saturday night. Any Ideas?

From my experience of going to grad school in the area, Mac & Bob's
Mac & Bob's http://www.macandbobs.com/ is a nice spot located in Salem at 316 East Main St. Salem, Va 24153

From what I have heard, the team is staying at the Wyndham hotel.  I think all the teams have to stay there and that is where teams usually stay?  Also, I have heard they are completely booked both Friday and Saturday night.
Also, there is supposed to be some kind of tailgate party for Wooster fans on Friday.  Not sure of any of the details yet but when I hear, I will let you know.  The post game celebration on Saturday night will probably be at the hotel the boys are staying at.  Hope that helps. 
I think a lot of Wooster fans are staying at the Holiday Inn Roanoke - Tanglewood.

Wow, the more I hear about the seats at the end of the court, the more I don't really want them.  Is it a definite that those are the seats that Wooster will be receiving tomorrow?  I'd like to sit by the rest of the Wooster fans so I can get rowdy with them, but am just not sure about those seats behind the baseline.  Can any Wooster fan confirm the sections that are ours?  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give...

Just call the ticket office and don't panic, people. Sheesh.

Thanks, Booster, for starting this.  :-\

Dining (drinking) wise, I believe Awful Arthur's is the preferred hangout in the area (Roanoke).

I've heard tales of debauchery from various D-3 coaches.

I've also eaten there myself, back in 2003 during Earlham's tip-off tournament.

Good stuff...and I'm sure it tastes even better during Final Four weekend.
