    I saw the website saying tickets available at 11 a.m. on the day of the draft (June 24) at the box office. Have you already gotten yours?

    Our plan is to have a friend of mine who is free that morning pick up the tickets at the box office. Would one need to get there ahead of 11 a.m. to get in line?

    ohhh yeah. there will be 1000 people waiting in line by 9am. i would suggest getting there closer to 7. even then there are no guarantees because they always sell out right away. the earlier you get there the better your chances are obviously. also, they usually have a limit on how many tickets 1 person may buy. in years past it was 4, but more recently it's been 2. i don't know how many friends you have that want to go, but that's something to think about.

    i got mine through a presale which ended monday. i learned the hard way a few years ago. got there (what i thought was early, around 8ish) and waited on the back of a line that went around the corner of the block. they went on sale at 11... they sold out 11:30 and i didn't get anything. people who purposely bought extra tickets were selling them on the spot for 100 bucks a piece... and others were paying it just because they were waiting online for 4 or 5 hours and didn't want to go home empty handed.

    so if you really want to be safe, get your friend there as early as humanly possible. i've also seen people show up late and offer to buy the tickets for the people in front of the line in order to cut the line. since tickets are just 15 bucks it's better than being left with nothing or paying 100 each... or waiting in line for 5 hours.

    all things to consider i guess. i hope you make it!

    $15 if you get them from the box office. could be anywhere from $25-$100 from scalpers once tickets sell out.

    Finally found a thread for this. Me and my friend are planning on going but didn't know it was this hard to get tickets. Can you buy it online? I was planning on going to and look on other websites that is selling I don't know if its fake or real but it was going for over $250 in different websites.
