NCAA Tournament Tickets
Getting a hold of NCAA tournament tickets won’t cost you near as much
as Super Bowl tickets, for example, and
won’t be near the hassle. Tickets for the 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament
are already on sale. These games will be going off from mid-March to early April
so get your schedule figured out so that you can make it to a couple of these
games. In a 19-day span, the tournament hits 13 cities and ends in San Antonio,
Texas with the Final Four. That’s why this time of year is called March Madness.
Online ticket brokers buy up a bunch of tickets in advance and will have them
available for every region. Obviously, it’s easier to get tickets to the early
round action and the prices are better too. For example, you can get upper level
end court seats to all 6 games round 1 and round 2 games of the Anaheim location
for $270. That breaks down to just $45 a ticket. If that’s not the view you’re
looking for, you can get a lower level side court 6-game strip for $865.
Tickets to the regional rounds are slightly more expensive at online brokers.
The worst seats in the house at the West Regional in Phoenix will cost you $320
for a 3-game segment. If you’re looking to go to the Final Four, the nose-bleed
section will cost you $450 and lower level side-court VIP seating is going for
$4545.
Make sure you check around to a few ticket broker websites to see who has the
best prices.
It’s not always the safest route to go, but if you are a gambling man, you just
might give the scalpers a try. It seems like you can always get individual game
tickets from scalpers at decent prices. If they still have their tickets when
the game has already started, you are going to get a big discount as well. I saw
Arizona/Butler and Ole Miss/Notre Dame in a round 2 session and paid $30 on the
street. I don’t know if I could get that price again, but these opportunities
will be available from ticket hawkers at every location.
TickCo.com and
StubHub.com are a couple leading online
ticket brokers that will have plenty of NCAA Men’s tournament tickets for you to
get your hands on.
Many times schools are given the opportunity to purchase a block of tickets to
NCAA tournament games that they are appearing in. If this is the case, you’ll
want to contact your local university about their availability and cost.
