Another name for the tournament is the NCAA March Madness, which has a total of 68 teams playing for the title. There are 32 teams that receive automatic bids as a reward for winning their conference tournaments. The rest of the teams are granted an at-large bid during Selection Sunday, typically in the middle of March. This broadcast show occurs after the conclusion of all-conference championships, like the Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament played at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. The tournament starts with four play-in games, dubbed the "First Four." Those games are played Tuesday and Wednesday with winners earning a bid to the main field of 64. Tournament games are played at predetermined neutral indoor stadiums across the country and divided into regions, East, South, Midwest, and West. Every single team is seeded No. 1 through 16 in one of the four regions and is set on a path that leads to the Final Four. The championship game is typically played on the first Monday in April. Each year, millions of people fill out their NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament bracket and even plan vacation days around the first few weeks when games are played throughout the word day. Your bracket must be completed before the start of the first game on Thursday of the tournament. Some participate in office parties while others compete for large lumps of cash. When you fill out your bracket, you have to be mindful of Cinderella Story teams who knock off higher seeds and make a deep run. These can also be called bracket busters since they are hard to predict. There’s a reason it’s called March Madness. Grab your NCAA Tournament tickets today.
NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Ticket Prices
There are many factors that go into determining how much an NCAA ticket for one session of the NCAA tournament will cost. The major factor is based on the city and how far into the tournament the game is played. Earlier games will be significantly cheaper than later games. Because the Final Four game is the national championship game, ticket prices will be extremely expensive. When you buy your NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament tickets, you are buying based on the round and session, not necessarily the teams that are playing. Since every team is seeded within the predetermined bracket, you hope that your Kansas Jayhawks will still be in the tournament for the round you purchase. There will be multiple games or sessions played at each stadium during each round of the tournament.
