Now that Selection Sunday is behind us and you’ve printed out your bracket, it’s time to make plans to head out of the house and see your favorite team live.
Whether you want to root for or against No. 1 seeds Alabama, Purdue, Houston and Kansas or perennial tournament favorites like Duke, Marquette, UCLA, Arizona and Texas, tickets are available for all games.
At the time of publication, we found some seats going for just $18 before fees on Vivid Seats.
That’s less than it costs to buy a burger and a beer at the arena.
Not a bad deal considering you might just catch a shocking upset that instantly becomes the stuff of legends.
That being said, that $18 game isn’t a one-off — there are many, many affordably-priced first-round games with ticket prices under $30.
So, if you want to witness hoops magic in person this March in Ohio, California, Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Colorado, North Carolina, New York, Nevada, Missouri, Kentucky or Texas, here’s everything you need to know about every single game.
All prices are subject to fluctuation.
