They're definitely out. I went and picked mine up. Looks like Bradley's in the same lame section as last year. My seats are section 110, and in fact, four rows worse than last year's tickets. This being my second journey to the MVC Tourney, I would have guessed that the teams rotate through the sections? It appears, instead, that maybe teams are always in the same section?
I'm in row JJ. Not sure if V is in front of or behind JJ.Ordered my tickets maybe a week and a half ago.
The last row in the section is KK. It goes from A to W followed by AA to KK in section 110.
Sounds like I pulled some "good" seats then.

I just picked mine up and am VERY disappointed to find myself stuck in Sec 111, Row KK. I ordered the tix a couple weeks after they became available and have talked to two others who ordered theirs AFTER I did and they are in Row W and Row BB respectively. I would have been better off taking advantage of the Buy One Get One offer because the Upper Bowl will only be about 10 feet higher than these tickets!

I would guess that your seat location has a lot more to do with how much you donate than when you placed your order.

Last year the student section was almost on the other side of the arena from the rest of the fans....is this going to be the case this year as well, because I think that is BS. Bradley just gets bullied around with crap-jobs like that.
All of our non-student fans were sitting next to ALL of the CU fans...b.s.

After being to about 15 or so MVC tourneys, here is how I believe that works. The higher seeded team gets its choice of what end zone its band will be in. Then the students fill in the rest of that end zone around the band. CU was higher seeded than us last year. If we get the 4 seed this year, the BU band and students should be near their fans at least on Friday this year.

I emailed Bradley's Asst Athletic Director in charge of ticket sales and vented my frustration to him. Within an hour he wrote back. He explained that basically the "good seats" go to Scholarship Society and high-level Braves Club members, then they fill in the rest first come, first serve. I am at the top of 111 because they consider that better than halfway up 110 due to the obstructed view created by the basket/shot clock.
He was clearly frustrated by the fact that the Valley did not give Bradley a favorable section once again. This is definitely not his or BU's fault from what I gather. I am very appreciative of his quick response and feel much better about the situation...although I will do everything in my power to get lower next year!

I too was really disappointed when I picked up my Bradley tickets for the tournament. We are in Sec. 110 Row AA, which is behind the basket. Last year we were in Sec. 113, which was much better, but it seems that overall Bradley has the same sections as they did last year. I emailed the Missouri Valley Conference to find out how they select the seats for the different universities. This is the response I received that same day:
I have not received any further response yet from Joe Mitch, but I find it interesting that this guy says that they rotate sections. You may also want to email the MVC to let them know how you feel about Bradley's seats for this year. Maybe if they hear enough complaints, it will help to get Bradley better seats next year.
Seems to me that Bradley may always be stuck in the endzone because of advance ticket sales being a factor to measure where we sit. I don't think it's fair to penalize the smaller schools because of their advance ticket sales being less than big state schools.
I also expressed to them that if we have to be stuck under the basket every year, why don't they make those tickets cheaper? We are paying the same amount for those seats under the basket that the people with the good seats are paying. Just my 2 cents worth!
