Just out of curiosity, I am wondering if anyone had luck buying tickets to the 2027 FF?
I am a priority 2 or B, or whatever it is, and had my time today to buy tix. Went in and started looking and found that the only seats available were 3-4 rows from the top if I wanted 4 tix. Singles in other places but that's it. Timed out while I was searching and when I logged back in, the TicketBastard site is saying the event is sold out.
It's a little frustrating since I have purchased tickets every year since 1989 and every year the process gets more difficult and the available seats are less and less...
May just have to raise the one finger salute to the NCAA and just watch from home from now on...
I suspect you missed several notifications. The priority purchase windows were several weeks ago (I got mine on October 9th, I've been going since 2004, so, not sure what priority level that puts me at these days), ending on the 27th. Today through Sunday is more of the "public presale" for people with Ticketmaster accounts/etc.
Just as Steve said, somewhere down the line some emails must have been missed or sent to a junk email. I got 3 emails ahead of the actual buying date, one in Sept, one a week out reminder and a day of reminder. Sorry to hear about your frustrations. The FF is always a fun time.

would assume @steve-mn is quite high on the prio list based on the above comments, but we got ours on 10/23. did you try re-logging in? have had the site do that to me before. but yeah even when we got ours it was uppers and midway through the section to get the 8 we usually do.
think they've really pushed towards reserving more and more tickets for fanbases and media/donors/etc type people based on how the lowers looked as well as there are people who just continue to buy them to resell if their team doesn't make it. Seatgeek already has some. Ticketmaster won't have them until presale is done as far as what's left over. tickets are almost always cheaper closer to the event (and were even last year despite an all blue blood FF)
While they've definitely been reserving more tickets, there were still good blocks available when I got mine, and someone that's been buying since 1989 should have gone at least a few days before I did.
There were still plenty of blocks of tickets available when I purchased as well on Oct 12th. Not sure what my priority group is, but I've been buying since 2002 and consistently since 2007.
I received my priority notification on 9/24 and it gave today's date as my priority. Obviously something is screwed up in NCCA/Ticketbastard land...
