Some scoopers are going to still be angry

Yep. Obviously the economic situation is huge and a decision was made to move forward.

[Dr. Blackheart]

I forgot to post this the other day from the Tournament. Only one MU package.

+1.  It seems a bit crazy but the pols are pushing to reopen. Not sure they are close to ready but you need to start sometime and the Governor wants sooner than later.

Never a doubt

Only one pure MU package as noted above, but you can get a signed 2012 Tournament surf board. Can have Buzz and KO signatures on the same place!

What's a little odd is that they have a signed board available for every year I have gone except for 2007. Which would probably be the only one I want.

Nice.

Any guesses on how tickets will be handled? Additional booster deals, or just put em all up for sale?

[Hallmarq]

The over 4x size of the stadium would make me think tickets will not be an issue. But with over 2 months left, who knows.

I am honestly surprised to hear this news particularly with all the discussions this week about how desperate Maui is to open west Maui for financial reasons. (Though one article I read said pretty much come, spend money, but don't look like your having fun to respect those who are serving you and who have suffered such a tragedy.)  Such a conflicted situation.
An article that I read in the Athletic mentioned that though the gym was not burned down, all the fiber optics needed for ESPN to broadcast had been destroyed.  This probably was a factor in the decision as well.
In any case last week I had finally pulled the plug on my Maui reservations and moved all of my hotels and flights to Oahu(already was on Oahu 17-20)...so the move worked out for me.  Depending on how they do tickets I may have an extra pair of tickets to the UCLA games...which I will post and donate the proceeds to Maui relief.

Citing sources, The Athletic is also reporting that the tourney being in Honolulu is a done deal.

Never thought it would be feasible on Maui. A lot of ppl thought otherwise, but I would have been absolutely shocked.

Interested to see how tickets are sold

[Marquette4life]

anyone know when the team hotel will be announced?

[Uncle Rico]

No

[Jay Bee]

No

Well, someone may know

I'll go with "after the location of the tourney is formally announced"

[#UnleashSean]

Espn has announced its officially moved to Honolulu.

Tickets on sale the first of October

Anybody have any advice on what to do in this scenario?

I bought 9 tickets for my family and friends at almost $500/ticket on StubHub for the original event at the Lahaina Civic Center.

The venue changed to a much bigger arena on a different island.  The value of these tickets has most likely plummeted due to lesser demand, so reselling is not a good option.  Anybody have any advice?  I have contacted StubHub but they just say resell..

Thanks

I imagine you will have center court side seats as the link posted by Dr. B said all seats already purchased would have similar seating at the new venue; unless you decided not attend.

You received a learning opportunity, hey?

[Bling]

Not to use StubHub?
