Ticket prices for tonight's Kentucky vs. Kansas championship game are dropping like a stone. Fans can buy "get-in" tickets for as little as $30, reports Joellen Ferrer of StubHub.
This year's NCAA men's championship game features the lowest scalped ticket prices in years, Ferrer says. Some tickets to tonight's game have moved for as little as $25. The lowest-priced ticket sold for last year's championship game? $69.
Across the board, tickets for tonight's game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome are selling for average price of $215 on StubHub vs. $225 for UConn-Butler in 2011; $231 for Duke-Butler in 2010; $320 for North Carolina-Michigan State in 2009; and $389 for Kansas-Memphis in 2008.
What's behind the falling ticket prices?
One, many Ohio State fans who thought their Buckeyes were going to play in the championship, only to lose to Kansas Saturday night, are dumping their tickets on the Internet for the price of a couple of beers.
Two, the cavernous size of the Superdome is driving down ticket prices for upper deck seats. Seating capacity for tonight's game is 74,000.
The good news for some college hoopsters in town and Big Easy locals is they can buy their way into tonight's game for bargain basement prices -- and "cross the Final Four off their bucket list," Ferrer says.
