(ADV) 2 TicketsNCAA ChampionshipSection 153 Row 31: This time-sensitve CM Classified just in: Hello all! I bought these tickets for someone and they decided that they didn't want to go so they are now for sale! I bought them straight from a Fan Exchange and they are genuine tickets. They also include a pregame Fan Experience party in the 500 Ballroom of the Indianapolis Convention Center on Monday from 5:30 to 7:30 before the game begins at 9:00 that night. I will be willing to ship these for a low rate but I will put some insurance on them so we don't have any postage issues. I received them overnight via FedEx for $16.95 so that's what i will charge for the quick service if that is your choice. I will ship the tickets as soon as I receive payment as time is of the essence. I'm asking $915, which is about $1 less than what i paid for them on the Fan Exchange. The price is for both tickets together, not separate. Thank you for your interest and please let me know if you have any questions! P.S.-for an extra $250 you could also get a hotel room at the Radisson for Sunday night and Monday night as my friends already booked the room for those nights. Otherwise, they will just cancel:) -Heather DavisWe hope you're scanning CM Classifieds, South Central Kentucky's Liveliest Marketplace, for the constantly changing listings. 2010-03-31 10:31:28 | Comments | Printable version
