DC - do you know if any tickets will be available through the Bradley athletic department ??

I'm not a fan of TicketMaster and their neverending "service fees"......

I have not heard anything about that. But with these holiday season tournaments, they don't ever seem to distribute tickets to participating schools to sell. They sell only through their authorized seller, which in this case is Ticketmaster. So I think that will be your only option.
The tickets are expensive, but you can get great seats near the court behind the Bradley bench. The ticket is good for both games in the session (Session 2) that includes- Temple vs UC San Diego and Bradley vs Princeton.

One good thing I noticed is that the hotels in the area are very reasonable, though that may not be the case with some of the Disney-owned resorts.
We booked a 4-star resort just a couple miles from the arena at under $100 per night. And there are budget hotels and resorts as low as $40-$60 per night.

The Terry's Chocolate ESPN Event is less than 2 weeks away. I just checked, and there are still plenty of good tickets available, though they are a bit pricey. For anyone who is planning on traveling, here is the link to buy tickets for any of the 6 sessions of the tournament-

Bradley plays Princeton on Monday, Nov. 24, in Session #2, which starts at 4:30 pm. Bradley plays in the second game of the night, at 6:00 pm Central.
Bradley is designated as the home team for this game, and their bench will be in front of Section 113.
The Bradley schedule shows the Monday, Nov. 24 game is on ESPNU. However, according to the information on the event bracket, it is not on ESPNU, but only on ESPN+ (see bracket below).

Win or lose, Bradley will play on Tuesday, Nov. 25, at either 4:00 pm CST or 6:30 pm CST in Session #4 against either Temple or UC San Diego. Information on the event website indicates that Bradley will also be the home team for this game, with the BU bench in front of Section 113 again. According to the bracket, the game will be on ESPN2 if Bradley wins Monday and advances to the semifinal, or on ESPNU if Bradley loses Monday and is in the consolation bracket. It should also be available on ESPN+.
The 3rd game on Wednesday, Nov. 26 is harder to plan for or to buy tickets for. Depending on outcomes of the first 2 days, Bradley could play in either Session #5, which starts at 11:00 am CST (Championship and 3rd place games) or in Session #6, which starts at 4:00 pm CST (5th place and 7th place games).

One other thing... I got some of the Terry's Chocolate Oranges that are popular and sold mostly in England and elsewhere in Europe. But they are a bit hard to find here in the US. I've been told they sometimes have them at Michael's in Peoria, and intermittently at some Walmart and Target stores.
I ordered some of them from Amazon.com, and tried one. It was really good! They are large enough to share among several people and made with Orange oil and milk chocolate (nothing artificial), and molded it into an orange shape complete with 20 segments. They are popular as Christmas gifts and for Christmas stockings.
If anyone is interested, here is more info-

I bought tix for the 1st game vs Princeton. Might wait to buy for games 2 and 3 once I’m there. Maybe somebody would want to partner up and take advantage of buying 4 together at the discounted price?

I already bought tickets for the Tuesday game in Session 4, since win or lose on Monday, Bradley will play in that Session. But as I noted above, the Wednesday game could be either Session 5 or Session 6, so there's no way to know until the first 2 rounds are played.

I suspect there will be no problem waiting to buy tickets. There are plenty of good ones still available. I also think it won't be sold out so much that fans will probably be able to move around. Remote tournaments like this usually work that way. I guessing neither Temple nor UC-San Diego will have very large fan groups there.
