I love the idea of the region being held there. As far as the tickets go thats just how it is today, I figure maybe some schools may find a way to get their fans to the game on a discount, When I was at South Floyd the year they went to Rupp Arena I do believe the quarterback club bought a bunch of tickets for some of the fans that didnt have the means to go to the game. If the attendance isnt great ticket prices may drop. However, with this regions love of basketball I doubt 10 dollar tickets will keep a great deal of people away from the games.

It funny that people will pay $100.00 per ticket to see a concert, but complain about $10.00 to see area kids do something they love and work so hard for.
Couldnt agree more Pirate Pal

"blackcatfan4life" Wrote:Yeah but you gotta look at people that have no dog in the fight. People that are just spectators. 10.00 is kinda rediculous compared to the usual 4 or 5 dollars. I'd pay it, but not every night like I used to with regional tourneys of old.
nice post.
I know several people who would take the whole family to watch the regionals, but if tickets were 10 bucks and a family of 4 plus parking, food etc. Then the idea of watching the game on WPRG seems very appealing.
I know its not the same as being there but if you are just a fan of the game and not the team then 10 buck would have hurt attendence.
It's hard enough to fill the local gym's at 4 and 5 bucks and for the girls games near impossible.
I am looking forward to see how this turns out.

I think it is a great idea to have the regional at the Expo, I think they should have it there every year.

I'll be paying for a family of five. I'll be there!! No doubt!! Over all I think it will be great!!! But I also understand that some people who support their child cannot always afford that kind of money for games, especially several nights of it! Plus their gas and food times how many games.....I am wondering about the tickets though. Thats "my" main concern. We usually have a whole crew that sits together family/friends, makes for even more fun! But reserved seating "can" make that tough! Plus is your ticket good for the day or just one game? If its good for the day, will people from the earlier games have to move when their game is over to let the parents/sibblings/friends/fans have good seats to their own kids playing and cheering for games starting later in the day? Sad as it is, Everybody is not considerate and could care less if you have good seats for your own games or not...just something to think about. Hope it all goes well!

If 8,000 people will pay $40-$50 to watch an idiot like Kid Rock then surely people will pay $8 or $10 to watch HS basketball. Come on that is a no-brainer!! Hey by the way.....this just in...The Pikeville Panthers are back in the Regional Tournament!!! I will gladly fork over any amount of $$$ to watch them play!!!!!

So just like I said 6 months ago tickets are $10.00 bucks -
$6.00 ticket plus $1.00 building charge plus $2.95 convenience charge, if you get them will call. You print them out it is $3.00 more per order.
A family of 4 is $40.00 worth of tickets plus $5.00 parking charge plus $12.00 worth of Coke plus $7.00 program plus $10.00 misc............ your looking at $75.00 to watch a highschool basketball game......
Damn joke.

I have seen different prices listed. People keep listing 6 or 7 dollars but people keep taking about it being 10 dollars...which is it? There are several good resturnats in Pikeville so hit them up before going in the Expo and you will get better food for a lot cheaper. People can park in the parking garage on the corner of Hambley and Huffman for free and make the short walk to the arena.
If tickets are indeed 6 or 7 dollars can't you just walk up to the ticket window before the game and buy a ticket for that amount? I doubt that any of the games will sell the Expo out and from what I can tell there isn't really a bad seat in the house so it should work out good.
Hopefully everything goes good and this will become the permanent home of the 15th regional tournament because it without a doubt should be IMO.

The face value of the ticket is indeed $6.00 BUT ticket master fees add the extra $4 bucks.
03-03-2006, 02:09 AM
$10 is too much for these tickets... I went to buy 7 online and after the fees it was over $70.00 ....and that was will call, so no shipping or printing charge.
03-03-2006, 03:09 AM
Buy them at the door there will be no ticketmaster charges.

"NEXT" Wrote:$9.95 if you get it will call I rounded to $10The EXPO center has been a huge success through 6 months, hardly "doomed to fail".
I think it is a great idea to have it the Expo Center BUT that is too much money for a ticket, and the concessions are wayyyyy overpriced. Like I said its a great idea but they doomed it to fail IMHO........
The EXPO center is for events, not concession sales. Eat dinner before the game.
TICKETS ARE $6 AT THE BOX OFFICE..no additional fees added at the door, just as if the schools hosted it.

"NEXT" Wrote:$9.95 if you get it will call I rounded to $10Well if you think its overpriced stay home and leave all of us that are planning to go support our athletes no matter what price we have to pay alone about it! Because i know that if i had to pay $20.00 a ticket id gladly pay to watch my hornets play. and as far as concessions dont eat or drink anything geez kinda easy if you think about it.
