Tickets? Who Needs Tickets When You Have Wristbands!

Ticket ScanYou need tickets! If you aren't a player, coach, or referee, you'll need a new ticket to enter the halls each day and watch all the action. Tickets are free and can be printed in advance from University Athlete.

There are two ways to get into Crossroads this year – a paper daily ticket or a wristband.

EACH PERSON MUST HAVE A DAILY TICKET (one for EACH DAY) or a VIP WRISTBAND to get into Crossroads (6 & under exempted).

DAILY TICKETS

  1. The Daily Tickets are FREE. 
  2. The tickets can be printed from the internet, just like an airline boarding pass.
  3. Each ticket is good for one day's admission; we will scan and collect the tickets at the door.  Re-entry for the day is by hand stamp only.
  4. You need to print your tickets BEFORE arriving at the event.  Information collected will be kept private, per our Privacy Policy.  (See http://www.coloradocrossroads.org/privacy.html for the full policy statement.)
  5. You can print family tickets for up to 6 people, but you must have a separate daily ticket for each day.

NEW THIS YEAR!  VIP WRISTBANDS

What’s different?  VIPs get special treatment!  They get entry to FIRST NIGHT (the DANNY KINDA show and early shopping at the vendors), DISCOUNTS and special gift promotions from a variety of vendors, attendance at the “Finding a Good Fit for Your Daughter” Recruiting Seminar on Week 2 (featuring coaches from each of the Div I NCAA Final Four universities, plus D II and D III coaches) and use of the VIP EXPRESS ENTRANCE all during the tournament. (The VIP EXPRESS ENTRANCE is at the top of the escalators at Hall F.  The VIP EXPRESS ENTRANCE is the speediest way to get in and out of the court area – you don’t need a hand stamp and there is no long line.  It’s reserved for VIPs all weekend.)

Who are VIPs?  First of all, Players and Coaches are VIPs.  We will supply a wrist band FOR PLAYERS (limit of 12 per roster), COACHES AND CHAPERONES (limit of 3 per roster) listed on the printed roster check-in form, at check-in. 

Second, SPECTATORS can be VIPs, too.  Just purchase a wristband - either online at University Athlete or at the Ticket Booth in A Lobby.  Cost is $10.  The wristband will give you all the privileges of a VIP, including EXPRESS ENTRY, FIRST NIGHT shopping and entertainment, and admission to the Coaches Roundtable on “Finding the Right Fit for Your Daughter” on March 13.

The VIP Wristbands are silicone so they can be taken off to shower and put back on, and they make great souvenirs of the event.

Opening Night? Should Be KindaGood!

KindaGood

Danny Kinda will be bringing gators and reasonable serves to Crossroads on Opening Night. The show starts at 7:30 pm on Friday, March 7th and Thursday, March 13th and should last about an hour. Admission for this event is by wristband only so be sure to pick one up! Want to know more about Danny Kinda? Visit his website. Bring your own nectar as there may not be enough to go around.


Our Featured Exhibitor

There's going to be athletes, coaches, and spectators. But there is another important group of people that attend Crossroads, the exhibitors! Who will be in the booths this year? Here's a taste:

GripIts!

GripIts

Provides traction and improves performance by removing dust and dirt from the sole of the shoe.
Far more effective than traditional methods (socks or hands), GripIts! unique fiber blend traps and holds court dust and dirt.
Players have said:

"These work way better than socks! I love these!"

"These are amazing!"

"I don’t know what I did before I got these. They’re great!"

Dust free soles = Better Traction
Better Traction = Better Performance

Clean Hands = Better Touch on the Ball
Better Touch on the Ball = Better Performance


Crossroads Fun Fact

Crazy weather? We have it here! Hardly the poster child for global warming, Denver has seen crazy spring weather for many, many years. Maybe you've started looking at the weather forecasts for your trip to Denver. Maybe you saw that Saturday's weather called for a high of 71 and Sunday's forecast called for snow and a high of 35. At least you know that you can count on convention centers being cold...
