Cheapest ticket is over $3,000. ESPN has article on it saying Zion Williamson has second biggest effect on ticket prices next to Lebron. Super Bowl tickets were as low as $2,700 a week before kickoff. I'd much rather spend a week in the BVI's than see a two hour matchup of basketball.

Cost as much and a million times harder to get than a SB ticket.

Duke-UNC at Cameron is a bucket list item of mine but at those prices it will probably never happen

Not even half that. Cameron Indoor attendance is under 10k.

TV doesn't really do justice to how small Cameron really is. It's like a dumpy high school gym. You need money and connections to get tickets.

I've been to a game at Cameron indoor vs UNC. It was fun and free for me thanks to a client of mine in the area. It's not a very imposing looking building at all.

Duke's football stadium looked like a big high school's

Work with a guy who has season tickets for Duke.

He sells his UNC tickets and covers the rest of his entire season package including donation.

Id argue there isn't any regular season game worth paying $8-10k, period.

Hell if you really want to check out Carolina-Duke just do it in Chapel Hill and you will pay under a grand and Chapel Hill is a much better college town.

99% pf the country doesn't give 2 shits about this game and if it weren't for ESPN running ads every 10 minutes I wouldn't even know it was going on. "The Greatest Rivalry in college sports" - bullshite

Imagine trying to get tix to a LSU/Bama game in a stadium that held 30k people. That's how tough it it. You either have major connections or major $. Hell, students camp in tents for a week just hoping that they might get a ticket.
