Men's Final Four tickets: How to buy, price, cost
This year may be one of the best men's Final Four fields ever, and there's plenty of interest to watch all of the action unfold in San Antonio, Texas.
It's an all No. 1 seed affair in the Final Four with Florida taking on SEC foe Auburn and Duke facing Houston for a spot in the national championship game. All of the remaining teams have been among the best squads all season, and it is expected to be a heavyweight battle to see who emerges as the national champion.
For the better part of the past 40 years, the Final Four has typically been held in football stadiums, allowing tens of thousands of spectators to watch the final dash toward a title. With this year's final rounds taking place at the Alamodome, more than 70,000 people will be able to watch. Here's how much it will cost to go see the last three games of the college basketball season at the Final Four.
How much do men's Final Four tickets cost?
It depends on which games you want to see or how many you plan to have tickets to. Final Four tickets come in different packages: a semifinal pass – tickets to both Final Four games – or the all-session ticket – tickets to both Final Four games and the national championship game.
For just the semifinal games, tickets cost more than $300, while all-session tickets can cost upward of $500 as of Monday afternoon, according to TickPick. The average price of an all-session ticket is $2,154, TickPick says.
Of course, prices depend on where the seats are. Tickets closer to the court and around the half court cost more, while it's cheaper to be in the upper levels of the stadium and facing the baseline of the court.
StubHub has tickets for the semifinals listed for as low as $276 and an all-session option starting at $389 ($528 with fees).
