Alabama-Clemson Elite 8 Tickets Are Hilariously Cheap
Alabama and Clemson fans should start packing their bags and getting to Los Angeles for the Elite 8 because tickets are cheap.
The Crimson Tide upset North Carolina and Clemson stunned Arizona Thursday in the Sweet 16 to set the stage for a matchup pretty much nobody saw coming.
That's caused ticket prices to absolutely collapse on the secondary market, and prices are so low that it's borderline criminal to not go.
Alabama and Clemson fans can get tickets cheap for Saturday.
As of publication, tickets to the Saturday matchup in Los Angeles are going for as low as $50. That's the price of a solid burger and a couple beers at a standard restaurant. There's no way you can't justify going to the game at Crypto.com Arena if you're in the area or can get there quickly.
For comparison, tickets to the UConn/Illinois Elite Eight matchup in Boston are selling for more than $300 to just get through the door.
Again, it's a bargain if I've ever seen one.
The biggest regret of my sports fandom was passing on tickets to the 2015 Wisconsin/Kentucky Final Four matchup. I've regretted it for nearly a decade. Biggest mistake I've ever made, and it wasn't even tied to money.
Since then, I've promised myself that if I could get to any game in my area, I'd do it for men's basketball or football. Alabama and Clemson fans, do not make the mistake I made. This is only the second time Alabama and Clemson have been this far in the tournament.
Are fans really willing to pass it up betting on the fact it will happen again soon? I would not make that bet. I would not suggest making that bet at all.
Are you an Alabama or Clemson fan attending the game? I'd love to hear about it! Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
