Here is how the WCC Basketball Tournament "Gonzaga Ticket Scam" works

OK, so I wondered why the WCC tournament is always 90% Gonzaga fans, and why BYU fans have trouble finding tickets (have to wander the parking lots to find a few overpriced scalper tickets).

Basically, I found out that Gonzaga fans buy 1 season ticket to the other teams' games, which they use to be able to buy WCC tourney tickets (might have heard this here, I forget)  So, for example, a Gonzaga fan will buy 1 LMU season ticket.  Then LMU gives "their" season ticket holders first priority in buying WCC tourney tickets.   The Gonzaga fans who bought the 1 LMU season ticket (who never attended a single LMU game, or whereever), will then buy like 10 WCC tournament tickets to LMU's WCC tournament ticket alottment.   

There you go...

It's a dumb game.   Also means that the other WCC teams are guaranteed to have poor attendance during the regular season (from Gonzaga season ticket holders).   The WCC just needs to find a bigger venue in Las Vegas (either Thomas and Mack or T-Mobile).   I'm hopeful that the new WCC Commissioner will fix this.
