According to NCAA college basketball prices, there is no recession!

Here I am, ALL excited about both the South Regional being here in Miami and MY favorite team, the Syracuse Orangemen being here to boot...then suddenly, I saw the ticket prices..!!

...OUCH!! Usually, I would request a dinner and a movie before getting screwed like this!

..cheapest seast were a whopping $278 a piece!!! I can get BETTER and TOUGHER seats for a Heat vs. Cavs/Celtics/Lakers with money for a couple of beers and food and STILL have money left in my pocket!!!!

Needless to say, there goes watching my Orangemen ALL weekend, much less the 1st day. I am heart broken to say the least.....

Isn't that price for all 6 games over the weekend? You could always sell the extra tickets to help cover the costs.

NO dude...that is for 1 game....

That sucks then. When the NCAA is in town here they only sell the tickets that include the entire weekend. That is about the cost of the entire weekend here.

Salsa, I paid less than that for Final Four tickets!

Watch it on TV, it will be cheaper to pay D* to watch all the games, plus you'll probably have a better seat.

Apply for Obama's stimulus package to cover it.

 

[JAG72]

Stub Hub has them going for about $82 for lower level seats right now that include both games on Friday.

I'm gonna start packing soon.

This doesn't sound right. I would check around more salsa. There's no one of local interest playing down there and Miami sports fans are passive to say the least. I bet you could get in for not too much.

Are you going through a ticket broker?? According to SU's website, face value for first-round single session tickets is $76.

Went to the First & Second round in Jacksonville 3 years ago & our tickets allowed us in for the entire day each day. So, at a bare minimium, those tickets will get you 4 games on the first day.

 

[JAG72]

$185 right now gets you lower level seats for all the weekend games. That is a total of 6 games at around $30 per game.

Where are those tickets Salsa, standing right next to Jim Boeheim on the sidelines?

 

[lakebum431]

That price is not right for sure. I think you are confused and were looking at the price for the whole weekend.

[Ramy]

That is for the whole session of games. They are always sold in a lot of games for each region.

I went through ticket master here in Miami...3 times, each time I ketp saying to myself that this could not be right AND rubbing my eyes...!! I need to try again!

 

[SabresRule]

I find ir weird.

Besides, other games in Miami involve Arizona State; I doubt the Sun Devils are a team worth that much money to see.

Maybe other Miami-area games are cheaper because they don't have a glamorous team.
