BC basketball tickets

Hello! My husband and I (UNC grads) are planning to come to Boston in hopes of scoring UNC-BC tickets. Are scalpers frequent at these games? We can't afford to pay the StubHub prices, but I have been watching Craigslist.

Seat location isn't important- we just want to see our Heels!

There are never scalpers outside the BC games. The arena is on campus and campus police are very strict about enforcing the law against scalpers.

Keep looking on Craigslist. That is probably your best bet. Be careful if a student is selling tickets... they are only accepted with a student ID.

GO EAGLES! =)

Shandy, thanks for the heads up! Is it illegal in Mass to resell tickets for face value? It is not in NY, so I'm unsure of the rules.

Thank you!

Yes, it is illegal to sell tickets, even for face value, in MA - some talk of changing law, though.

Thanks so much for letting me know! I had no idea it was illegal.

I'm keeping my eye on Ebay, Stubhub, craigslist, etc. The tickets are SO expensive ($250+), so I think we'll be out of luck. But I'm not giving up yet!
