Drake, probably not. Iowa State is the host I believe, so they might. Wichita State might. It all depends on how the organizers and hosts choose to allot tickets. It is a wise move for the host team to give season ticket holders first crack. It really boosts sales and scarcity. It also recoup expenses quickly. Keep in mind that the NCAA gets a bunch of seats, plus each school in the region gets a block of tickets, therefore, a 16,000 seat arena may only have 9,000 seats to sell. In other words, a town like Wichita, if season ticket holders got first crack when they renewed season tickets, the event could potentially be sold out nine months prior to selection Sunday. The money would be in the bank right then. Drake, on the other hand, isn't hosting, so their season ticket holders get nothing.
