NCAA Championship Tickets

[Doublehalf]

I started looking at tickets for NCAAs and the prices are outrageous... in the upper decks tickets are going in the $2000s for one session. And then I see 3 day passes to all sessions also in the 2-3k range but that's also a lot of money and I don't plan on going to all sessions. 
 

Is this how it always is this far in advance and then more seats open up which normalize pricing? How do you all look for and get your tickets? Are you usually spending that much?

I don't think they opened up the actual tickets yet. They go 11/5.

I believe you're seeing the boxes.

I got a call today, I put a deposit down 4 or 5 years ago when they released the hosts for the cycle.

18 Person Founders Level Suite $55,000
18 Person Club Level Suite $45,000
8 Person North End Theatre Box, inclusive of food and drink (not liquor) $40,000
4 Person North End Theatre Box, inclusive of food and drink (not liquor) $25,000

My group will just go to Big 10's.

Face value on lower bowl tickets have almost DOUBLED in 3 years.  Tickets in Tulsa were $385 face value and tickets for Cleveland are $624 face value.  

I know that is nothing compared to football or basketball tickets, but still, its getting harder and harder to be a fan.

The first suite we ever got was in St Louis and we paid $2500 for 16 tickets. I miss those days.

You could still be a fan, just do so watching the event at home.

Yeah, I remember going in Pittsburgh and had to buy the tickets resale and only went to 2 sessions and it ended up being somewhere around $800 for them.

You'll want to look closer to the actual event to get the all-session tickets.  I would guess you're looking at a minimum $600 all session if you can get them thru a school for uppers.

Does anyone have lower bowl tickets they want to sell for session 2/semis/or finals?

Had my sister get me tickets last year through her school and still paid over 1000 bucks for all sessions
