Also... when I say + Fees, I really mean + fees. I was gonna run down and take an extended lunch break to watch MSU and Dana's final game but f that lol. A $45 ticket comes to, I kid you not, $64.10, after fees.

Are those Ticketmaster fees or something else?
I feel the same way every time I look at buying tickets to any event - games, concerts, etc.
It's absolutely insane.

Pretty sure it’s Ticketmaster. My parents complained about high fees buying online in advance of the Drake game last year @ PCC. Not sure if they’re assessed if you walk up to the box office and buy them. They weren’t at the PCC.

I would prefer a play in day though….
Thursday is 9-12
Friday would be 4 games adding 3/4 seeds.
Saturday would add 1/2 (double bye straight to semi finals).
Sunday Championship.
