My family has quite a few season tickets. Considering I haven't made it to more than two games in a season since 2007, I don't steal their tickets too much :)

I've never tried scalping tickets, personally, so I can't say. I've certainly seen them online on Stubhub and similar sites, though. In the past I've regularly seen scalpers outside the arena.

How do you make games routinely at 190 miles?

I know a guy who drives 260 miles (520 round trip) to each Drake game....and he's 70+ years old.

At least he's likely retired. I was thinking more about the logistics of working and spending an extra 6+ hours on the road each week.

Well I'm from Normal but I go to school 190 miles away (yes, I don't go to Illinois State because they don't have my major). My dad still uses our season tickets every game and I come to about half of the home games (over breaks, weekend games, etc). I also try to make a couple road games a year. It will be easier when I'm at ISU for grad school! Haha

620 (give or take) miles
Family are the season ticket holder's. I am welcomed to them, when I get up North.
Never been to Arch Madness, since The ACES joined The VALLEY.

However, when SLU played at the old Kiel Auditorium, had a friend that worked at SLU and gave me tickets to an afternoon session.
It may have even been the last event at the old Kiel, before the "renovation".
I watched Southwest Missouri State (don't remember who they played)
And Creighton against Drake.
I don't even think it had the moniker, "Arch Madness" then.
