I moved to Vegas in 2016 and work about 2 miles from the Orleans. I don't even bother trying to get tickets anymore. The process you described perfectly is not worth the hassle.

More tidbits on the WCC tourney ticket scam....and yes, it is a scam.....

Agree completely. Solution is simple:move to a bigger venue (probably Mandalay)

TL;DRa Is it a scam if there is a demand and people willingly buy tickets

You should use that extra money and join the Cougar Club.

I think I made $20 profit. How much does CC cost? LOL.

Let's stop calling it a scam. Zag fans want it more and they get it at the expense of BYU fans.

What should we call it? Have you seen how much session tickets are on stub hub?

idacoug

Supply and demand.

OK. Lets move to a different venue to change things up. Problem is, I think WCC

idacoug

For the reasons you mention - schools not named Gonzaga and BYU already can't sell their own seats.

kccougar

2/15/18 1:28pm

but that is not true. They are selling all their allotment.....to zag fans.

Which they might not be able to do any longer if the venue was larger and the Zags had more of their own seats to sell.

kccougar

The huge demand from BYU and Gonzaga fans alone warrants a bigger venue.

Richbyu

2/15/18 1:32pm

Yep, when you are to the point of playing elaborate games

The scam is Gonzaga fans buy 1 season ticket at another WCC school

Richbyu

2/15/18 1:25pm

That's not a scam. BYU fans can do the same thing.

kccougar

2/15/18 1:27pm

Lie and pretend to be a fan of different school?

Richbyu

2/15/18 1:29pm

Lie? There is no rule that limits season ticket purchases to fans of a given school.

I went through LMU one year

When I went to the MWC Tourney I usually bought from a MWC school

The downside is I'd usually be sat by drunken Wyoming fans.

Gonzaga plans there spring break every year

I don't understand why they don't move to a bigger venue.

kimdaddy35

And BYU fans complaining about a "scam" just sound too much like other teams in the WAC or MWC

kccougar

2/15/18 1:41pm

No. not really. In the end, the almost impossibility to buy tickets to the WCC

idacoug

2/15/18 1:43pm

Well said. I've all but given up trying to get WCC tourney tickets. Not enough.

Richbyu

2/15/18 1:49pm

Sorry but that isn’t true

cougarfanatic

2/15/18 1:51pm

100 percent agree!

cougarfanatic

2/15/18 1:46pm

While I agree on the venue seat issue the location in vegas is good for BYU/fans
