Got my tickets about 2 months ago--still plenty of lower bowl seats available. We are going to the semis and finals on Sat/Sun. Live here in Omaha, so saved the tickemaster fees by going and buying in person, buying 4 tickets, it adds up.

The event would be sold out if it were a major NCAA event or near sold out if it was just a big Nebraska match. Even though its a city that has embraced big volleyball events, you still have to sell it which lets face it, has never been a strong suit for USA vb. If they were smart, they would be paying Larson to get out and do commercials, do radio spots etc....

It's now being advertised on the radio, but I agree with you that some local primetime commercials featuring Larson, Banwarth and Robinson could get more seats filled.

I got my tickets last fall. Seems like this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I was worried the Nebraska fans would swallow up all the good seats.
BTW, in case anyone who should know has not seen the change, Sunday's matches got moved up to 11:30, 3:00, and 5:00 (originally 3, 5, and 8).

I saw that there is a scrimmage coming up, does anyone have any information on who has been training in Anaheim?

I didnt graduate first in my class but you have a vb crazy state, who loves Nebraska volleyball, and the US vb team is playing in a world class event featuring three of "their own" seems like a good angle to take advantage of. But what do I know?

I was looking at the tickets on my phone and I'm slightly confused at the pricing... are you buying tickets for the entire final round or is that ticket per day? I can't find a day to select so I'm assuming its the whole week of the finals?

On Ticketmaster, I only see All-Sesssion as an option, with prices $85-$270. That's one ticket for all 5 days, 3 matches per day.

Jokes are supposed to be funny or have at least some element of truth that you could laugh at especially given that possibly a quarter of the roster, and a third of the starters will be Nebraska players.

I can't find a day to select so I'm assuming its the whole week of the finals? The mobile version and Ticketmaster app blow. You'll have to get to a computer to and go to this page to see your full options. www.ticketmaster.com/2015-FIVB-Womens-Volleyball-World-Grand-tickets/artist/2028586?tm_link=edp_Artist_NameThere are six different ticket packages: 1). For the entire event from Wednesday, July 22-Sunday, July 26. 2). For all matches on Wednesday, July 22 3). For all matches on Thursday, July 23 ... 6). For all matches on Sunday, July 26
