Is it true true that every seat is General admission? And if so, how the hell do you seat people when the arena is sold out?**** this shit
Thought just the upper part of arena was general admission. Even so, sounds like they did not manage the sellout crowd well at all. Maybe they will figure it out before tomorrow’s sessions.Is it true true that every seat is General admission? And if so, how the hell do you seat people when the arena is sold out?

There were reports that people were in line at 9:00 a.m., which is 8 1/2 hours before tip off. How would you like to spend your day that way? Absolutely ridiculous that they handled the ticket situation like that.Seeing the reports of lines forming hours prior to tipoff, as in 6+ hours in advance of the game, I couldn't figure out what was going on. It never occurred to me that they would try to handle that on a GA basis. Ye gods.
What maroons.
Well stupid is right, if you buy 4 tickets to sit together then you might not find 4 together, imagine kinnick as gen admissionI’ve never heard of having general admission seating for a sold out game when each seat has a section, row and number. How stupid.
I think these tickets are literally about as cheap as you can get.There were reports that people were in line at 9:00 a.m., which is 8 1/2 hours before tip off. How would you like to spend your day that way? Absolutely ridiculous that they handled the ticket situation like that.
And it's not like these tickets are cheap, either.
Yikes...I didn't even think of that angle...so let's say grandpa and grandma want to show their elementary school aged grandkids a good time and splash the cash to take them to the 2024 B10 WBB tourney. Only they get there and learn that you will need to get in line HOURS in advance of tip off AND then may not be able to sit together!!!Well stupid is right, if you buy 4 tickets to sit together then you might not find 4 together, imagine kinnick as gen admission
You’re better than me. One time doing that was enough. We’re just gonna go when it opens tomorrow and assume we’ll get nosebleeds. Hopefully Iowa playing second will loosen the crowd a bit.We are planning to get in line tomorrow by 8 am. This is just the literal worst way to manage the ticket process.
I got in line 3 hours before doors opened. I was in line next to someone who works for Minneapolis events and hospitality. She said this is all the B1G’s fault. They tell the arenas exactly what they want and how to ticket.
Tix went on sale in December, it’s not like they didn’t know it wasn’t going to be a huge crowd. I was hearing reports that when the doors opened, the line was something like 10 blocks long.
Part of the problem is they designate certain rows in the lower bowl as GA and everything up top as GA. But then you have people saving seats or leaving a seat between them and their neighbor. Just a shitshow.
At least they are opening the doors thirty minutes earlier tomorrow so they got the message.
GA all-session tickets were $75 but then they added $50 in fees so total ran ~ $125. Reasonable if you are going to every game but as an Iowa fan, we only care about Iowa games. If Iowa would have lost Friday night, you are paying that for one game, with nobody from other teams interested.I think these tickets are literally about as cheap as you can get.

I always ask would the men’s tournament do GA seating? Absolutely not. Then why is the women’s doing it with CC22 in the house? Dumb on the B1G and Minnesota as the host school for not being smarter about this fiasco.
The first person in line was there at 8:30 amPeople were lining up 8 hours before tip off.

I could not do it. No way in hellCan you imagine spending 9 hours just sitting there?
And it sounds like there were people in line holding spots for those who they would be sitting with so the line massively grew when those individuals arrived
I’m in line rn. The person in front got here at 4:30 this morning
Minnesota knows what they are doing when it comes to hosting Big Time events. The city has hosted Super Bowls, Final Fours, and other major events. This shit show is all on the Big Ten conference. The Big Ten decided that this is the way they wanted to ticket the tournament and this complete disaster was the result.I’m in line rn. The person in front got here at 4:30 this morning
Target Center is 34 years old. The new owners of the Timberwolves have stated that eventually they will want a new arena. Damn billionaires.We were in line last night past parking ramp C, sat mid-level upper deck. Not bad seats. But then moved down for the MI-IN game and you realize what a different experience it is watching the players up close vs from the nosebleeds. Awesome atmosphere last night. Having been to a few timberwolves games and other events at the target center, it was surreal to see the place literally packed with hawkeye fans, doing the I-O-W-A chant, in heaven there is no beer, etc in that venue
Madison Square Garden is the only NBA arena which is older. It had a major renovation a little over 10 years ago.Target Center is 34 years old. The new owners of the Timberwolves have stated that eventually they will want a new arena. Damn billionaires.
And they did a remodel just a few years ago!Target Center is 34 years old. The new owners of the Timberwolves have stated that eventually they will want a new arena. Damn billionaires.
It's Minnesota, you can't expect much, the state is run by idiotsTarget has always been a shithole, so this doesn't surprise me in the least.
