All session tickets for a day before single session. And by single session I mean Friday and all day Saturday. Breaking Saturday up into two sessions for tickets is weird.
Saturday has two sessions where they CLEAR out the arena.

Ticketmaster put the screws to us and ihsaa let them do it.
Ticketmaster and the IHSAA are two totally separate entities. When the IHSAA chooses to use venues like the Ford Center, Gainbridge, and the Memorial Coliseum(Fort Wayne) they are beholden to Ticketmaster. The only way to get around TicketMaster is to physically go to the box office. That is what they did at the coliseum and what I do at IHPO.
Unfortunately Ticketmaster is the scum of the world and will continue to screw the people for their "convenience" fees.

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.

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.

Looks like the Brinks truck will be taking a detour to da Wayne today. I hope they updated their Google maps to stop at Victory Bay!
Way to go Easton, Chase, and Mitchell representing the area. Also shout outs to Cressell and Krejsa who have deep ties to da Wayne.

Pretty much what I said.
The more we get to "clarify" this, the clearer the incident will be.
There is no need for any more clarity. We are talking about KIDS and no need to go into any more detail.

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.

Fewest people I have seen at a State Finals. Makes sense when you move it to the farthest south west point in the state. IHSAA is actively trying kill off wrestling. Only good thing is the wrestling.
Maybe we should just stop the tournament and move it to Indy on Monday.

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.

As mentioned earlier TicketMaster(possibly Ford Center)'s issue was that the all session tickets were giving different seats for every session. I don't know enough about how to setup ticketing to say if the Ford Center didn't check the option for same seats or what happened with that.
Either way what ensued was that the second and third session seats were getting double booked and that caused everything to crash.
Basically if they open all sessions on Wednesday and single session tickets on Thursday that should alleviate the issues. I guess I have slept since 2023 and am not sure if they opened up both types of tickets at the same time or not.
