I got Row 1 in section J. Purchase completed at 9:02.

I got section B, row 31 purchased right at 9 am Pacific Time.

right on the finish line.

There are 30 rows in the west grandstand.

Just kidding.

I can't recall exactly how many rows, but I'm guessing at least 40. You will be fairly high up though.

How did you manage to get sec. B when I was on at the same time and could only get sec. D?!?

If you've never been to a track meet in Eugene, you are in for an awesome experience!

Im on a budget, so I went with the $375 option for section G. I got level W, but row 1. Does anyone know what the level W means? Also, I understand section is likely not the best, but does anyone know how these seats are?

Never even been to Eugene, so I am very stoked.

Level W would mean on the "West" side near the Main, West Grandstand. You will be almost right in front of where they start the 100m dash and 110 hurdles.

I don't remember if that is temporary seating, but I know its not in the actual grandstand.

Thanks for the info!

I bought some tickets and ordered them to be sent through the mail. The thing is, I only plan on going for the final 3 or 4 days. Does anyone know if you can sell your earlier day tickets?

I'm sure there will be lots of folks wanting single day tickets. Depending on where yours are and what you're asking for them, you shouldn't have a problem off-loading the days you aren't going.

My girlfriend pulled Section D, Row 2 for us baby! Eugene here we come!

Section D, Row 3. Looking forward to it!

Imarunner:

At 9:00 did you click on best available or a specific section?

I did the latter and I wanted 3 tickets, maybe they had a gap for 3 and the computer wanted to fill it in rather than selling 2 and having an orphan single seat?

anyhow, I've been to Eugene many times.

I was there for the 1980 trials to nowhere.

Pre meet in 1984

another Pre meet in the early 90's and the Trials in 2008.

I'm stoked.

Anybody know when the dorm rooms become available?

5000

Section Q row 1.

Level N, Section J, Row 1. I went for the cheaper seats, but pretty psyched to be in the first row. Does anyone know what level N means?

...and you still wonder why people think runners are nerds

I'll just wait til you guys realize you can't afford to a)take over a week off work b) can't afford to pay for over a week's food/lodging c)can't afford travel expenses and end up selling your tickets. That's what I did in 2008 and it worked out pretty well for me. Never mind the fact that I didn't even know they had gone on sale yet like 99.9% of the rest of the public. Way to keep it a secret USATF.

old crappy stadiums suck. i hope they never hold the OTs in that shit hole again.

The trials should've returned to Sacramento or L.A. and been held in a proper stadium with a decent amount of hotels near.

Section B, Row 2. Must have gotten lucky when I clicked on Best Available at 12:00 ET.
