Try posting a request on the wrestling message board and ….

Oh wait …..

WE ARE!
 
The Penn state tickets next year will be nearly impossible. Last time it was in Pittsburgh you needed 2500 NLC points to even apply and still were not guaranteed tickets.
 
Try going through the school that’s hosting. Is it Drexel or Penn? Or someone else? Get season tickets, even if you don’t go to a match it’s still going to help fund a wrestling program. I believe the host school gets a good amount of tickets to sell. Only issue is your seats would be with fans of the school you bought through and not with PSU fans.

At least that was how I was able to get tickets when it was in Pittsburgh. Bought season tickets through Pitt and was able to get NCAA Tournament tickets through them.

If you have lots of excess cash, gold, and diamonds…. you can get tix via the NCAA and their partners.

I think Drexel is the host school. I would think all NCAA wrestling schools are allotted tickets. Probably the season ticket holders are offered the opportunity to apply for tickets. I have an in with Princeton program and might be able to get them through that. If not I probably will inquire with Lehigh and see if being a season ticket holder gets me an opportunity to get them.

Having lots of Nittany Lion Club points (2,500+) helps in most ticketing situations, except for NCAA championships held in PA. The PSU ticket office allowed senior admin & professors to line jump NLC members to snag tickets in Pittsburgh. Within the University RANK has its privileges taking care of the “wigs” is simply considered good business. Undoubtedly the same will happen in 2025 . . . so if you are a NLC member . . . don’t count on your points doing anything unless you are a mega donor. Better to become a season ticket holder at a non PA university (I use Appy State) and leverage it to snag NCAA’s.

I live near Gardner Webb and tried that strategy 2 years ago. Problem is they don't sell season tickets,

I've been to 5 NCAAs and only had tickets in hand once prior to the event, Philadelphia, where I had the chance to get into a suite at face value.

The other 4 times I relied on getting tickets just prior, outside the arena, which was common practice for wrestling fans for decades. The only time I had problems was in Cleveland where they have scalping down to a science.

I suspect the demand for Philadelphia this time around is going to be extreme and buying right before could be a problem. Not going to risk going without tickets, and I expect prices are going to be really high.

BTW, does anyone else remember when Iowa and some other midwestern wrestling fan bases were complaining about NCAAs in Philadelphia in 2011 and how the event wouldn't sell out, and then it sold out in record time, lol.

In 2011, Iowa fans were still living under the delusion of entitlement when it came to the NCAA tournament. Of course we know that 13 years later, there are still a lot of them who continue to persist with the same delusions.

From the OnLocation company email

Who is On Location and What is
the NCAA Fan Experience?

On Location is the official premium ticket and hospitality provider of NCAA Championships with official tickets, prime seating, and access to the NCAA Fan Experience, which is the only hospitality space available at NCAA Championships. It includes food, drinks, legend appearances, photo ops and more!

For the ultimate fan experience this Championships season and to secure seats before primary tickets go on sale, don't just be there. Be On Location and purchase your premium ticket and hospitality packages today.

When will standard NCAA Championship tickets be available for purchase?
Standard tickets will be available at various later dates which are outlined below and differ by championship. These are tickets only, are not sold through On Location, and do not include the NCAA Fan Experience hospitality package.

Image in the email says standard tickets on sale in November
 
Looks like it's going to be a bloodbath. Here's the email I received from Lehigh today:

"The 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships will be held in Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center.



With significantly higher demand for 2025 in Philadelphia and an expected limited supply available to Lehigh, we highly recommend that as many fans as possible purchase NCAA Wrestling Championship tickets from any source possible, as soon as possible.



HERE is a link to the NCAA website to sign up to be able to purchase tickets when they go on sale through the NCAA.



Additionally, all-session sales that include the Fan Experience & Pre-Session Hospitality are on sale now HERE.



Lehigh cannot guarantee we will have enough tickets in our allotment to account for our high demand, even for season ticket holders. Therefore, we strongly encourage our Lehigh Wrestling supporters to purchase tickets through the NCAA if possible. We'd like for as many fans as possible to attend the NCAA Championships in Philadelphia to cheer on Lehigh Wrestling!



Lehigh will share any information on school-specific sales once that is provided to us from the NCAA."

That's terrible advice, to recommend buying tickets as soon as possible. The secondary market prices will dramatically decline as we get closer to the event.
 
for what it's worth, my upenn season ticket renewal email said that their season ticket holders will get priority access to ncaa tickets. this is my third year as a season ticket holder so hopefully they don't just get gobbled up by any new deep pocket donors.
 
Haven't heard anything from PSU/NLC/PSWC regarding NCAA tickets. I believe 2500 NLC points were required to request 2019 NCAA tickets.
 
I said previously that it looks like it will be a bloodbath.

Received from Lehigh's ticket office today. Gonna be a bloodbath.


The 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships will be held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The NCAA has set ticket limits for each institution based on their Team Finish at the 2024 NCAA Championships.



Due to this limited supply, Lehigh will be unable to meet the high demand for this event. Lehigh fans, including season ticket holders, are encouraged to buy their tickets through the NCAA's on-sale this Friday, November 1.



Failing to purchase tickets through the NCAA during this on-sale may result in missing out on tickets for the Championships, pending Lehigh's inventory.

Generally true. Good to follow Under Face Value on the tweeter:

Wild how ticket costs get cut dramatically just before an event. Probably because of the ticket sales racket (supply suppressed initially to drive up prices, then those "extra" tickets get added later).
 
Thanks to @amattaro, I’m in.

Booked a room at Hampden Inn & Suites in Media, PA. $478.98 total for three nights. I know the area well; easy 15 min drive on 476 (“Blue Route”) to 95 to arena.

Thru Priceline. Fully refundable thru 2/27.

Happy to help my bros in need. The real surprise comes when you get in building and find out if you won the “Sitting by IRONBIRD” lottery.

If anyone else is looking, let me know and I will see what I can do.
