Title: SEC Basketball Tournament
Post by: Show-Me Hog on Mar 08, 2026, 09:42 AM
Gets its own thread because I have a question: how do losing fans sell their tickets for the rest of the tournament now? I suppose the only way is to browse the online sites (StubHub, TFL, etc). Gone are the days when a disgusted fan going home can sell them cheaply and impulsively.

Back in the day, you would wait in the concourse for the losing fans to file out and hope they were so pissed that you got quality seats for the rest of the tourney at a song.  
Now it is all done through Ticketmaster.  
I have grown quite tired of buying tickets for the SEC tourney through the U of A and being in the upper rafters of Bridgestone Arena (I could actually touch the roof when I stood up one year).  I have tickets for our session Friday night and will wing it after that.  
Prices online are ridiculous right now in the lower bowl.  They usually release some tickets tomorrow morning through the SEC office.  I'll check that in the morning but probably just buy to sessions I want to go to as cheap as I can find except for sessions the Hogs play.
My daughter is in Nashville so we are making a week of it.  I love our draw as far as when we play.  Going up Wednesday and coming home Monday morning.  We are staying at the Embassy Suites right by the arena so I can go over and watch Kentucky lose and see how pissed the Big Blue Nation gets.

I'M GOING. This is what I am doing:
I have tickets for our session Friday night and will wing it after that.

I won't buy for any session we are not in. I probably won't buy for Sunday if we are playing Florida.

I would ASSUME for the last game on Friday even though I bought the cheapest nosebleed seat, I will be able to poach on a much better empty seat.

Hitting some new to me places to eat/drink in Nashville.  Anybody have opinions on these or favorites?

Audrey's
Fox Bar and Cocktail Club
Husk
Red Headed Stranger (this one I know but love.  Funky Tex/Mex in a neighborhood.  Probably late lunch/early dinner before our game Friday)
Bad Idea
Catbird Seat
Patterson House.

Some we are thinking about:
ETCH
Luogo
Iberian Pig
Lockland Table
The Finch

Always like Urban Grub but may not hit it this time as we have been there several times.
Usually hit Biscuit Love for breakfast once
Love Kanye Prime as well in the gulch.
I've done Pancake Pantry and the hot chicken places.

Same. 

I want to see the market flooded with all the tickets from dejected Kentucky fans.

Plus I want my early season boast to a Kentucky fan acquaintance...asking if I could have his tickets after they lose on Wednesday...to come to fruition.

If Bama beats OM, we will beat OU because this team wants to get to a revenge game against Bama.  Cal wants another chance to stick it to Oats. 

If Bama loses to OM, I can see us losing to OU with the team more focused on Selection Sunday than giving max effort tomorrow night.

Dane Bradshaw just made an excellent point that I have been noticing all day. He said the last two games, the team that has already played a game came out much sharper and focused. It was actually all four games today, maybe he didn't see the earlier two because he wasn't working them. Even though Auburn lost, they were much better in the first half. Seems like sitting a game is not a benefit, even if you're a higher seed.

Of all the games I have watched, it looks like a boxing/wrestling match under the basket. You have to nearly take a player down to get a foul called. So, our big men should foul out in about 8 minutes, because they will be abused underneath and be called for the foul.

It's amazing that our games never look that Ken-Fla game, where both teams basically do whatever they want on the inside without fouls being called. Our "bigs" breathe on somebody and it's a whistle, while on the other end the they get mugged and "it's let them play".
