We hope you enjoy The NCAA Experience!

This is the 3rd time I bought hospitality and in 2017 the spread was awesome, carving stations, omlette stations, buffets, top notch. In 2018, they had none of that, you had to take your pick from 3 breakfast options, more like a 'fast food' setup. I'm hoping this year is more like 2017. But it'll be nice to have a place to warm up, too, as the wind chill is going to keep temps below 32 the entire game.

Thanks Bill. Is that online somewhere or did it come in an email? I didn't get anything like that. In your recollection does it fill up pretty quickly or is there generally seats available? Although sounds like it's going to be different this time from the previous two with it being at the Soccer HOF.

It came in an email from NCAA.com. If you got the bands from JMU that's probably why you didn't get an email. There was always plenty of seating in the Winner's Club. This is the first time I've been to one in the Soccer HOF but I would expect plenty of seating in there as well. They do a pretty good job at making it worth your money.

I doubt I will be able to sell it. Oh he's gonna pay.

Looks like NCAA started the pre-sale for Frisco tickets this morning at 10am, and it looks like the days are long gone where the tickets are sold in under 5 minutes.

Hasn't the amount of seats increased substantially?

While I've never missed a JMU NC game, I don't imagine I will be taking any more football trips to Frisco, even if JMU is in the NC. Frisco was fine the first time, but outside the game it is boring to me as a destination.

Why not have it in Washington's soccer stadium?

about 3000+ seats in the endzone as part of the stadium construction/expansion.

I thought pre-sale started tomorrow with general public tickets on Saturday? At least those are dates on the email from the NCAA.

Thanks for the reminder Deez, just bought 4 in 105.

Today is the pre-pre sale (open to those who have previously purchased).
Tomorrow is the pre-sale for those registered for NCAA news.
Saturday is general public sales I believe.

Odd. I have purchased at least 4 times and did not get notification of today's pre-sale. Thanks for the info. I will attempt to buy now.

NCAA sent an email with link at 9am to the address where I most recently purchased (2019 / Jan 2020 game I think). My other prior email/purchases did not get this. It may only go out to those addresses that purchased from the last sale thru NCAA.

They did not have a public sale for this Spring season, due to lower capacity all seats went to the schools.

Thanks. I checked all of my addresses and did not receive anything. My last purchase was for the Jan 2020 game. It sounds like not many have been sold so I should have no problem tomorrow.

It might also be partly based on recorded attendance using their app, the email says "as a past attendee." I'd share the link, but it now says "restricted event" after my purchase, they seem to be improving security around this a little.

From what i can tell so far you should be fine if you get in early tomorrow. The only danger i think is if the agents/brokers figure out how to flood the site to buy them up. A significant portion of the seats have gone to brokers in past years.

I'm waiting to get mine through JMU again, much better seats than I got using NCAA/axs. The only seats left at $99 are behind the 10 yard lines. $250 for hospitalities is crazy, it's nice, but not worth $150.

Think its possible they may release more lower tier seats tomorrow also, unless those were already snapped up.

From memory though, whatever is available tomorrow will be most/all inventory. They don't really hold back much for the public sale.
