Last week on Select A Ticket, tickets to the 2011 Big East Tournament were the hottest selling tickets. This NCAA tournament will be held at Madison Square Garden where you can experience the basketball action in person from March 8-12, 2011.

The first three years of the tournament were on the road, the first being held in Providence, second in Hartford, and third in Syracuse. In 1982 the Big East Conference was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and has been located here ever since. MSG is a seemingly permanent home, and if not it will at least be held there through the 2011 Tourney.

Formed in 1979, the Big East Conference began with only seven schools. Since then, the tournament has changed a bit, and now has 16 schools from the northeast participating including West Virginia, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Villanova, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, and 10 other institutions. Since 1980 when the first Big East Tournament was held it has been considered to be one of the most important conference tournaments in the United States.

The 2011 Big East Tournament will not be held for another 9 months, but it is never to early to get your tickets.
