"Friday's NIT Game SOLD-OUT Following Tuesday night’s win at Drexel, the NC State men’s basketball team will continue its quest for the NIT Championship at home on Friday night. Sidney Lowe and company will play host to Marist in Reynolds Coliseum in a game that tips off at 9:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPNU. The sixth-seeded Wolfpack (19-15) upset third-seed Drexel on Tuesday, while seventh-seeded Marist (25-8) won at second-seed Oklahoma State. The winner of the game will advance to play the winner of the West Virginia-UMass game on the road next week. All seating for the game is general admission with student sections in the lower level north & south baseline areas. Tickets went fast Thursday afternoon to Wolfpack Club members on a first come, first serve basis. So fast in fact that according to Assistant Athletics Director Brian Kelly, all non-student inventory was sold-out by 5:30pm. As a result no seats will be available Thursday or Friday. Fans who purchased tickets will be able to pick them up on Friday between noon and 6:30 p.m. at the Vaughn Towers box office at Carter-Finley Stadium. Any tickets not picked up during that time will be at the Reynolds will-call window on Friday evening beginnning at 8pm. NC State students can purchase tickets for $5 at the Reynolds Coliseum Box office Thursday at 10 a.m. while supplies last. "

3/14/2007 9:58:49 PM

3/14/2007 10:08:37 PM

WRAL just said that there are supposedly ~1600 student tickets left.

3/14/2007 10:08:59 PM

i wish they had shown how many more people were there

3/14/2007 10:10:04 PM

looked like about 15-20 just on the tv, but they didn't pan around.

3/14/2007 10:10:49 PM

are they not going to be sent home?

3/14/2007 10:18:11 PM

who the hell has tents lol

3/14/2007 10:19:07 PM

I dunno, Someone tell if they'll be sent home?

is it really 1996 damn i way to advanced

3/14/2007 10:24:42 PM

gg Wolfpack Nation

3/14/2007 10:34:33 PM

im out here now. walked over from studying at the library. prolly about 40 people here. yea theres a few tents lots of sleeping bags, people out throwing a frisbee. its a reaaal campout.

3/14/2007 10:37:34 PM

Fucking awesome... when was the last time we had a "real" game in Reynold's? Prolly before I even went to State.

3/14/2007 10:45:54 PM

it was a 61-58 loss to Princeton in the round of 16 in the NIT

3/14/2007 11:04:26 PM

Get out the throwback jerseys.

3/14/2007 11:05:47 PM

^yeah that'd be sweet to see them come out in jerseys with just STATE across the front. i know they have them, b/c they used them in NC A&T Heritage game a few years ago. i really wish they hadn't screwed up the endzone seating in Reynolds. people should dress up in old school attire, like bomber jacket, slicked back hair, and jeans for the 50s, bell bottoms for the 60s, disco gear with afros to represent the 70s, a red leather jacket like Michael Jackson's to represent the 80s, and big gold chains and reebok neon colored sweatsuits with matching high top reebok's with the pump to represent the early 90s. have a group of students dressed like that to represent the 5 decades that Reynolds was open. plus who ever did it would definitely get some TV time.

3/14/2007 11:22:47 PM

wtf do you want a disco ball and a roller rink as well

3/14/2007 11:23:35 PM

gg pack fans...
seriously, selling out a freaking NIT game is awesome...
just gotta sell out a few more next season as well...

3/14/2007 11:27:39 PM

yes.

also, i would like for john travolta to not be old. please help?

3/14/2007 11:28:19 PM

^^ I honestly think with it being a friday we could have got fairly close to selling out the RBC.

All the alums I know want to go, and tons of students are already bitching about how they probably won't get tickets.

That being said I'm stoked it's in reynolds rather than RBC

3/14/2007 11:44:11 PM

so what time are you guys heading out there? im thinkin 830

3/14/2007 11:56:29 PM

830 and I best damn get a ticket...

3/15/2007 12:17:04 AM

theres a fair number of people out there camping now, and I kept seeing more people with pillows and shit walking that way when I was outside

3/15/2007 12:26:32 AM

Marist is not going to know what hit them when they take the floor in Historic Reynolds

we are going to blow the roof of that motherfucker

i cant wait...this is going to be one loud game

3/15/2007 9:06:41 AM

I will pay $30 for a student ticket if anyone has an extra. PST

3/15/2007 9:11:53 AM

I got in line outside Reynolds at 0735. Someone near me said he counted 150 people ahead of us. If you take worst case, 150 * 4 IDs each = 600 tickets there.

3/15/2007 9:13:19 AM

gg Pack fans

man i wont be there but i can already anticipate (based on the sellout and the building) how loud that place is gonna be...we're playing Marist? who cares...Pack fans will be WILDING

3/15/2007 9:27:45 AM

man, i hate sell-outs

will they be showing the game in reynolds?

[Edited on March 15, 2007 at 9:28 AM. Reason : ]

3/15/2007 9:28:18 AM

i got in line at 6:00 on the dot this mornin. What was 75 ppl in front of me turned into 175......fucking assholes. Still got lower levels though

3/15/2007 9:55:35 AM

still any student tickets left?

3/15/2007 9:56:33 AM

I knew in my gut I should have gotten my full allotment yesterday. Three of my buddies missed out on the tix. And hell, if they couldn't have made it, I could have turned a nice profit on em anyway.

Grrr

3/15/2007 10:29:01 AM

All the tickets ran out at about 11:00. The line was long but it was even worse because there was so much cutting going on.

3/15/2007 10:29:22 AM

"Still got lower levels though"

does your ticket say something about lower level???

i picked up mine yesterday and all it said was Gen Admission

3/15/2007 10:34:57 AM

^if your ticket has a diagonally striped background then it is lower level

3/15/2007 10:35:53 AM

pretty sure only student tickets can be lower level... there is a small 5-6 row riser on each sideline full of students if memory serves me right

3/15/2007 10:36:26 AM

So the background that says:

ONLY VALID W/ID
STUDENT

means its a lower level seat?

[Edited on March 15, 2007 at 10:37 AM. Reason : .]

3/15/2007 10:36:55 AM

Any one willing to part with their tickets, I need two.

3/15/2007 10:37:58 AM

went out there just as they were puttin up the sold out sign

dangit

3/15/2007 10:39:11 AM

mine has that stripe, but then what do upper level ones look like?

3/15/2007 10:39:46 AM

I got there at 8 and got an upper level ticket. It's been said, but the line cutting was horrible. I don't think it would be to much of an exageration to say the number of people in front of us close to doubled between the time we got there and got tickets, most coming between 930 and 10

^ upper level are just plain white, no gray stripes

[Edited on March 15, 2007 at 10:40 AM. Reason : .]

3/15/2007 10:40:08 AM

Line cutting was definitely ridiculous. The best was the fratastic-cock rider sorostitute in front of me who talked to one of the cops at length about how they should not let people cut in line.


She got in line a good hour after I did.

3/15/2007 2:27:21 PM

i was eighth in line when they ran out...its too bad that about a third of the people that got tickets will be going to their first or second game of the year
