That is correct.

That wasn't my experience last night. I showed up at 8:20, bought a ticket for upper level, surveyed the open seating sections and chose a spot at about the free throw line in the cushy red seats. At half time, we wandered around and tried to move into the mid court section behind the scorers table but that was the one place that the usher asked us for tickets. I think it must be the high, high donor section.

I'll bet you weren't rooting for Illinois State, though, so no one around would have been inclined to turn you in...  ;)

Nevertheless, you may be right, especially with respect to the "cushy red seats" a/k/a "loge section," which they are selling as "lower reserved," but I always think of as luxury upper bowl.
