NCAA Tournament Tickets Are Selling For The Price Of A Beer

Published|Updated

A couple Miller Lights or tickets to some NCAA Tournament games?

That's the choice some people might have to make because tickets to some Friday sessions are shockingly cheap. Thursday is in the books, and after a day of games under our belts, you'd think ticket prices would probably be pretty competitive Friday.

After all, it's leading into the weekend, people can get off work and it's easier to travel. Well, if you're in Memphis and want to catch some games, it'll come at the cost of a beer at a nice bar.

March Madness tickets are surprisingly cheap.

Tickets to the early Friday session in Memphis are currently selling on SeatGeek for as little as $8 and the late session has tickets selling for $12.

The early session includes Baylor/Colgate and Clemson/New Mexico and the late session in Memphis is Nebraska/Texas A&M and Houston/Longwood.

I guess those matchups simply don't move the needle. Fans in Spokane can also grab cheap tickets. The early session has tickets selling for $9 and the late session costs as little as $28.

For comparison, fans hoping to watch games in Indianapolis or Brooklyn better be ready to open their wallets. Tickets to those games start at $236.

I guess the draw of Duke and Wisconsin in Brooklyn and Purdue playing close to home in Indianapolis is a better draw than Houston in Memphis.

Having said that, you simply have to go to March Madness games if they're in your city and tickets are cheaper than an 18 rack of Busch Light. Just go for the experience, especially if you have kids. Get your kid out of school early, grab some cheap tickets and make a day of it. How often are you going to get to see NCAA Tournament action for the price of a burger?

Hopefully, ticket prices come crashing down by Sunday in Brooklyn if the Badgers win because that'd be a quick trip. How much would you spend on NCAA Tournament tickets? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
