The decision loyalty and money. Which do you think wins out in this day and age?

The NCAA still has tickets for sale. They should allocate more to the teams. But I guess it comes down to the same thing. They want to make the money.

I read that each school was allotted a measly 500 tickets. 2000 for a 20,000 seat arena. I went to the previous five Final Fours and never had a problem getting tickets thru LSU. Until now. I know of big donors who didn’t make the cut. Yes, I know, money talks, but it seems there could be some way of rewarding 20 year season ticket holders who stayed during the good and the bad.

Gonna be in Dallas for the Taylor Swift concert for my gf and her friend and kicked around the idea of going see the Tigers after dropping them off.

I understand it's a "semifinal" game, but no way is it worth that much to get in. For that $100 I'll be in Fort Worth grabbing a steak and a few drinks while watching it on a side TV. The costs of these events is absurd.

Who in the world is paying $400 per ticket to go to a women's basketball game

$400 is insane, men’s final four tickets are going for just over $100 on stubhub


Likely has something to do with supply as well. The men's tournament will hold around 71,000 while the women's will hold a little under 20,000. I also think the lack of the big names in the men's Final Four will hurt prices (although I was able to get a ticket to the Duke/UNC game las year for under $100 day of so who knows).

At least a portion should have been on a lottery system with more entries for years of holding season tickets, donor levels etc. At least give the longtime supporters a chance.

I know several people who have had season tickets since the Gunter days and they couldn't even sniff a chance at FF tickets because all the high-roller types have donated way more to the department in general.

As my late dad used to always say: "Money talks; bullshite walks"

Buy a really nice TV for 3 grand to watch it on. The cost to value ratio is greater than a couple of over priced seats for a Women's game.
