It basically said if you wanted tickets through the university, you need to pony up $$$. Since the MCI center seats fewer than the Greensboro Coliseum....tickets are even harder to come by. Thus, you had to give even MORE money for a pair (unlike in past years where you got four.) I think the schools (except for the newest additions to the ACC) got something like 1900 tickets for their boosters, and not in the better seats.
What I would give to be at Duke University as a student....One day I will see Duke-UNC in Cameron. One day...

I have several friends who are going. A lot of familys and companys around my area are major supporters. Several of my students have told me they will be out on thurs. and fri. Must be nice... I have gone when it was in G'boro several times and it is an experience!
As for the Duke/Carolina match up...I have seen that in Cameron. I am a Wolfpack fan, but a friend(actually former student whos parents had gone out of town and they had season tickets so they asked me to take her) had the tickets and you can not give up that kind of experience. Cameron Indoor is HOTTTTTT and SMALL! Maybe that is why thye are the cameron crazies...you feel like you are going crazy because everyone is on top of each other and about to burn up! Cate is from a family of big time Iron Duke club members. She goes with mom and dad or her grandparents everywhere, including the NCAA to see them play. You can always tell when they are playing because she would check out early. Again, must be nice....
I'll be sitting in VA at mom and dad and watching it on tv.
