I think that the NCAA learned this trick from Hockey East and the Boston Garden, which has held their semi-final game attendees hostage for as long as I can remember.........

The terms on the back did say that:

"Guests wishing to exit the building may do so at designated locations by
having their ticket scanned.  The event ticket will need to be re-scanned for
re-entry into the venue.  Access to the venue listed on the front of this ticket
(or substitute venue) by any person other than the original purchaser of this
ticket may be denied."

I included the last sentence for a bit of silliness.  Of course I know what they
mean but taken literally it means I am sitting by myself with three empty
seats since I am the one who bought all four.

I was shocked the same impression as Sara. The two tickets are listed as
one for "Semifinals" and the second for "Championship" and the one ticket
for the semifinalS lists game 1 at 3 PM and game 2 at 7 PM. Since there is a
zebra code on the bottom of the first ticket and NO PERFORATION where
the ticket can be torn or separated, and ONLY ONE place on the ticket with
the section/rows/seat is listed, I would suspect that maybe the ticket gets
read ONCE and there is no way to exit and then get readmitted on the same
ticket/zebra code. Now I would like to see the original contract from the
NCAA. Normally I think I am paying for three tickets, not two. Certainly I am
paying to see three games, but particularly to receive three tickets, one to
each game. There should be some room for a class action suit here for
FRAUD.

When I got my tickets I was surprised to see that there were only
tickets...one for each day.  That means that there are not individual tickets
for the semi-finals.  I guess they are planning on everyone dining on arena
food.  I guess people won't be selling the ticket for the semi-final that their
team is not playing.


Also,, I am watching the Clarkson -UMass game.  I realize that the
announcers are more familiar with the Hockey East teams but it does seem
like everything they is saying is "UMass....."
