I almost went to the first Seton Hall game. Then it sold out, lower bowl only, and the cheapest tickets on Stubhub were over $100 so I just stayed home. I don't see why they wouldn't open up the top with such an obvious demand for tickets. How much could it cost to hire a few extra ushers, security and concession staff?
MSG initially only had 100 and 200 level seats available for Saturday's game. When they were gone they quickly started selling the 300's, 400's and the bridges. Now they have a 19,000+ sellout on their hands. That's how it's done ladies and gentlemen.
