Got my tickets through the UCLA Alumni Association for $170 each. The ticket is good for both Final 4 games and the championship game. The seats should be decent and should be in a section with other Bruins fans.

Used www.site59.com to book plane ticket and rental car. I am flying in/out of Cincy and driving 1.5 hours to stay in Shelbyville, IN - 30 minutes outside of Indy. Cincy is 2 hrs and 15 min away from Indy. It is a major airport and it looks like you can get a good deal on last minute tix in/out of Cincy.

Tried to get a hotel downtown, most are sold out or way too expensive. Thus I am staying in Shelbyville.

For two people, whole trip (including tix) is roughly $1200. Will probably pay a pretty penny for parking and merchandise, but hey it is worth it!

Go BRUINS!

Dear bruingirl:

Thank you for using your travel smarts to get an affordable ticket to the Finals.

In the future, consider using your skills to purchase at least five additional tickets.

That way you can bring a basketball team along in case you have to play the Florida Gators. :D

We are sure it was just an oversight that you forgot to bring one this year. :D

Sincerely,

The Gator Nation
