Totally agree. The price for the tickets is silly and they did a horrible job promoting the tournament last year. You actually had to seek the tickets out and they weren't even available until February (and only on their own stupid, poorly functioning website instead of ticketmaster where it could be marketed and people would find it). If they were willing to sell tickets for 1/2 the price they are asking and promoted the tournament better among the season ticket bases and the local area, they could get 6,000 - 8,000 for both days and the atmosphere would be great. But, keeping it clubby and high-priced means empty seats even in Philly where there is the largest audience for Ivy basketball. Moving it anywhere else and it will be a much smaller event. I'm okay with that - I'll go wherever it is and enjoy it. But no point looking for arenas with more than 3,000 seats anywhere else under the current pricing and marketing strategy.
