Do they sell individual game tickets, or are you buying the ticket package for the rest of the BTT . . . and have to re-sell it if we lose?

Tickets for individual sessions are currently available on Stubhub. I assume they are also available on other secondary market sites. I expect that the B1G will offer single session tickets to the public as it gets closer to the event and all-session tickets do not sell out.

Awesome. Thanks.

listed on StubHub and such currently are probably broken off all-session packages that brokers have or are spec pricing by those same brokers. I would wait until closer to the tournament to buy single round since there will be firm availability and pricing

Yeah, that was a question I had . . . if they are only selling all-session tickets and individual game tickets are alreay on Stubhub, are those individual tickets just broken off from the all-session tickets by broker-type people?
Like much the Big Ten does, it looks set up to benefit everybody but the actual fans.
It all has that Bowl Game ticket charade feel to it.

Probably true for Maryland tickets, but I doubt the demand for Michigan tickets is that huge.
it's just a matter of knowing when and where to get them so you don't overpay . . . hence my question.

When I went to the Big 10 Tourney in Chicago, you had to buy the whole package. It was a little bit like buying season tickets: you get all the tickets, and can re-sell them as you see fit. The reason I could make it work is that I bought tickets with a group of people. Two were Purdue fans, two were dual Illinois/Michigan fans, three of us were straight Michigan fans, and there were a couple more spouses along for the ride as well (not heavy duty fans, but happy to go along to some of the games.) I think there were maybe 10 of us who went in on 6 packages? And we split it up based on fandom and how much you wanted to pay in, and re-sold / gave away some of the tickets. That might be too complicated for you. But if you have a group who are casual fans but not rabid, it works well. Everyone gets to go to some games, those who want to go to more, go to more, those who only want to go one day, do that. Good luck.

My understanding is that closer to the tournament individual rounds will be available. I'm going to wait till prices go down.
UM Football vs MD last year cost $85 for me. This year, the cheapest UM basketball vs MD TIX were >$100, so I passed. That's a lot for basketball and was a combo of a very good and popular MD team with plenty of UM fans eating up extra tix. The UM game was easily most expensive MD game to buy on secondhand market.

Not to try and hijack the thread but does anyone have tickets or a connection for the NCAA wrestling championships in the Michigan section???
I don't have enough points to start a new thread.

I went to the B1G web site, and they linked to a ticket selling site that sells by "session." In other words, two games on Wen, or two games in the Thurs afternoon slot, or two games in the Thurs evening spot.

So how did it work? Tournament is coming to Minneapolis and I want tickets but I also dont own a G-D jet. I will even take days off of work to bum at the games.
Any updates from others' recent experiences in Chicago or Indy?
