I know it’s early yet but I basically missed the deadline for MVC tickets thru Bradley! If plans in the future would change for someone and you would want to sell your tickets I would be interested but would need two sets. Thanks, Sparkplug

230 pm Wednesday and I just called and got tickets. They did say they don't have many left though. Sections 101, 102, 126, 125.
 
By some total brain fart on my behalf, I am going to Nashville that weekend. My travel mates will just have to work around the BU schedule because I'm not missing a game

I heard that Bradley still has a few all-session tickets for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. The ticket office is open special hours today (Friday, 2/23), 8 am to 8 pm, mostly to make tickets available for Sunday's game with Drake. But if anyone is looking for the all-session tickets for the tournament in the Bradley section at the Enterprise Center, get them today before they are gone.

With their win at SIU, Bradley has clinched no lower than the #3 seed.
If they win their last 2 games, they will land the #1 seed, and they will play the first game of the afternoon session Friday, March 3 (Session 3).
If they fail to land the #1 seed, they can finish with either the #2 or #3 seeds.
If they are the #2 seed, they will play the first game of the night session on Friday, March 3 (Session 4).
If they are the #3 seed, they will play the second game of the night session on Friday, March 3 (Session 4).

Am I crazy or does the 2-seed look like an easier path to the finals than the 1-seed?

Haven’t looked yet but how much are the all session tickets through Bradley

They were selling for $175 each, and if you buy them from Bradley, there are no additional fees. As of yesterday, they only had a small number left.
If you buy through Ticketmaster (if they even have any available), the section will not be as good, and you will pay much more with their outrageous additional fees.

The demand is very high this year with so many teams thinking they have a chance to advance or even win the tournament. There may be some single-session tickets for sale at the Enterprise Center box office, but there will probably be fewer than in past years.
And with most tickets being digital, there will not be as good availability of single-session tickets from the street re-sellers (scalpers). Also, expect the single-session tickets to be quite costly this year. I am already finding a few available online, but the prices are almost as much as the all-session tickets go for.

Thanks DaCoach! I sure appreciate it!
 
I think it's amazing that with 1 game left in the Valley season that the only seed that's guaranteed is Evansville at #12. Valpo, ISU Red and UIC could all end up tied for 9th. Murray State and UNI could end up tied for 7th and UNI would win the tiebreaker as they won the only game they played against each other. Conversely if Murray wins and Missouri St loses, they would tie for 6th and since they split their season series the tiebreaker is to compare each tied team's winning percentage against the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings, and then continuing down the standings until one team gains the advantage. SIU, Belmont and ISU Blue can all stay tied for 3rd with a W on Sunday and in that scenario, SIU would be the 3 seed based on their 2-1 record against the other 2, Belmont would be the 4 seed on their 1-1 record against the other 2 and ISU Blue would be the 4 seed based on their 1-2 record against the other 2. And of course there's the winner takes the championship between Drake and BU in P-Town on Sunday. Can't emphasize it enough that we need to FILL UP Carver Arena!
 
Driving up from Nashville on Saturday if we win on Friday. I see us playing SIU, Belmont or Indiana State on Saturday.

I feel confident on Friday playing against UNI or Murray State.

Additional events for Bradley fans-
There is a Missouri Valley Fan Hangout at Ball Park Village near Busch Stadium (601 Clark St.), where fans of every team can meet before, between, and after games.
They are open from 11 pm to 11 pm, though they might have expanded hours on tournament days.
https://mvc-sports.com/sports/2017/5/12/FanHangout.aspx

There is also a rally held at Ball Park Village at the Bally Sports Live area a couple hours before each game. It is usually attended by the Bradley cheerleaders, band, and Kaboom.

The team is staying at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 610 N 7th St, St. Louis (at the corner of Washington Ave. and 7th St.) in downtown St. Louis.
In past years, the team has had a "Sendoff Rally" at the hotel about 1½ to 2 hours prior to the start of each Bradley game. It's held in the 4th floor dining area of the hotel. Even if fans are not staying at the Embassy Suites, they are welcome to attend the send-off rally.

Congratulations Bradley fans! SIU guy here, don't shun me too bad. I bought two suites 3 weeks ago for Friday's sessions to lock them in. My daughter, her friend and I will be going to the Friday session with Bradley in it, but we have 9 extra tickets if someone is interested. They are $100 a ticket and are in Suite 259. Just the suite, no drinks or food included. Great for kids, family, and a comfortable setting for the full session. DM me if interested, I'll be in St. Louis Thursday night. I'll give you my cell and contact info so we can chat logistics. Can't believe it has been 26 years since Bradley won a regular season title, peaking at the right time.
