I have bought a block of tickets for myself and friends to the JPJ game since 2020. Couldn't go in 2021 because of COVID, but they played on a Sat in 2020 and way before students were back. We got a bunch of seats where their band normally is that year. Last year was mid week and closer to student return, but still empty. Plenty of lower level seats and it sure did not make the season ticket holders behind us happy to see so many Hokies within rows of court. None of us had to go resale for those seats, either. This year, students should be back and there were no lower levels released when single game sales started at end of November. They only let rows of tickets out in small releases and gradually added more while raising the price over the last month. Tonight, it looks to be almost sold out, but I wouldn't be surprised to see more seats open up later this week. They are definitely playing games with the ticket sales this year, but I think we'll have a good showing regardless. For all the people trying to get tickets to the game on Feb 4 in Blacksburg, their best chance to see the 2 live may be in C'ville. That's my PSA as I've got my tickets for both games again (just not able to help my friends get into the Bburg game at all).
