    Not saying the ticket situation is right but if anyone here was in the IHSAA's shoes how would you handle next year's tickets? I say back to general admission.

    There are some options, just the biggest obstacle is that there is such a short turn around between getting your qualifiers and then getting tickets for family and teams then for the general public.

     

    Some ideas I have had or heard from others.

    1. Assigned sections instead of seats. I assume this is possible with enough "service" fees on Ticketmaster, but it would be great for teams and fans to converge on a specific section instead of exact seats. I really miss the pockets of fans from each team that cheer loudly together.

    2. Teams get X amount of tickets to sell per qualifier beyond the parent/school tickets. If it was say 10 per qualifier they would get the 4(well should be 4) for family and 4 for school, plus 10. This would mean just over 4000 tickets which is a lot. The unused ones would be given back. The hardest part would be the turnaround time to get them to schools and get them back into the pool if not used.

    3. Only all session tickets. 

    4. Open All-Session tickets on Wednesday and single session tickets on Thursday.

     

    The assigned seating isn't going away, general admission is bad and makes for a tremendously less enjoyable experience.

    I'm sure that the location had something to do with it, but I'm pretty confident that the ticketmaster fiasco was the biggest factor.

     

    How is it that a company that only handles ticket sales, can't properly handle an event of 11,000?

     

    Completely inexcusable!

    The ticketing issue was a Ticketmaster thing. Not sure if there were some settings that weren't properly selected or what. From what I was told when you selected an All-Session ticket it was giving you different seats for every session. Thus when someone went to select seats for a specific session they were also selecting those seats that were being given to the All-Session ones. Basically that created havoc and crashed the site. That is why people's seats were being adjusted when they got their tickets. This definitely was NOT an IHSAA thing, unless you want to whine about assigned seats.

    Unfortunately,  for some reason the IHSAA is continuing to seperate the 1st roind into two sessions.  Do we really need four mats, if they do this?  Lets go three as this  would give us more time to focus on our top wrestlers and give them show time.  Without wresrle backs, we have the most abbreviated tournament in the country.  

    Yes we need 4 mats.


    The break for the first round is nice to be able to get up and grab something to eat and mingle without missing any wrestling. It is also good for the kids as they are forced to make weight basically on a one hour window and those that are pulling hard need to do it right. Previously if you were 150+ you had 3+ hours to recover and now you basically have an hour. I am a big fan of the break.

     I’ll get thrown over the coals for this- and admittedly I don’t know much- but maybe, just maybe, the grind that is the Southern part of the postseason tourney (Moorseville, EVSS) had BB and CG ready to go (iron sharpens iron type of thing) 

    And conversely, maybe the 3 week cake-walk of a postseason CP enjoyed had their egos a little inflated?? And that’s not a dig- I mean,  it’s only human nature.

     

     

    The thing is, it really isn't the grind but more of guaranteeing that Brownsburg and Center Grove don't hit on Friday night or in the quarters. While it's great to get the guys to the show CP was guaranteed to hit an Evansville kid to get to the semi finals.

    Harper finished off the match on the mat with double boots in.  After the whistle, Harper rolled off him and as Elkins   got up he stepped over Harper and there was a little bravado, but nothing big.  As they stood to shake hands, Elkins said something and they ended up nose to nose very briefly.  They were separated quickly and Elkins was hit with a flagrant misconduct, deducting 3 team points.  What happened after that was not on that camera.  I doubt what happened on the mat led to a full DQ, but probably led to it as mentioned.

    The signal the ref made ON THE MAT was flagrant misconduct. He was disqualified due to the actions ON THE MAT.

    This Valentine’s Day Max Amberger has a lesson for all the fellas out there. Nice guys don’t always finish last.

     

    Amberger, whom coach Matt Linkel says is one of the nicest kids he knows, is getting the royal treatment in Batesville this week. On Saturday he became the first Bulldog wrestler to advance to the state tournament since 2003.

  7. Our latest edition of this annual article will always garner lots of responses from everyone. The simple fact is, we have coaches that have a lot of success of Friday night. Winning on Friday gets the kid to the award stand and they get to take home a nice souvenir. This year's list has the usual suspects at the top in Sean McGinley, Darrick Snyder, Branden Lorek, and the pride of Osceola Jerimiah Maggart. Obviously these guys do not do it alone and are surrounded by great assistants, but the bottom line is when these guys are the leaders good things happen on Friday night.

     

    Over the course of Indiana history only two coaches have reached 100 state placers during their career. Sean McGinley heads into the state finals with 97 state placers and he has seven chances to get three to the podium. Not too far behind is Brownsburg's Darrick Snyder who is at 87 and will have a shot to hit 100 next year with a good Friday evening.

  8. Ticketmaster has a stranglehold on venues, their fees are not set by event promoters. They do what they want unfortunately. 


    Organizations such as the IHSAA are beholden to the venue, but should be able to get around it.
