NCAA tournament tickets (Birmingham)

How many of you have bought your Thursday and Saturday tickets? Damn they’re expensive but looking forward to watching a bunch of NCAA tournament basketball close to home.

My son got some online last night to both rounds for less than face value. You might want to look online. The University sales have not taken place yet. In the past I have gotten tickets by purchasing them through a bottom feeders sight and then moving to a better seat at the start of the game.

The NCAA makes you buy a book for the entire weekend, i.e. both games of the South Regional for the opening round, so there will be plenty of tickets available for Saturday, as soon as you leave the arena on Thursday. There are plenty of tickets on the resale market, still available cheap.

If Bama does not play the first game, then there are usually plenty of seats for the second game of the set, especially in the losing fans section.

Thanks for the info.

Where are you finding cheap re-sale tickets? All I've seen are way above face. Also the NCAA ticket site is only selling session tickets - no entire weekend books.

This was from 2019 so it may have changed:
"The current NCAA Tournament ticket allotment per school for the first and second rounds is 450 tickets per school. Schools only get tickets to the session they are playing in"

It has changed. Schools get less. Tide Pride ticket holders can’t even order Bham tickets because of the low allocation.

Which site?
