And how much should you plan to spend for a one-session ticket to a few high profile games in Portland? As little as $30.
There’s a hefty price differential between All Sessions tickets to the women’s Sweet 16 and the men’s, but one factor to consider is that because the Men’s tournament is divided across four cities (Los Angeles, Boston, Detroit, Dallas) versus just two for the women’s tournament (Albany, Portland), those buying Men’s All Session tickets will get access to three games compared to six.
So, the Caitlin bump is real! But that doesn’t mean you can expect to pay less than $200 for Men’s Sweet Sixteen tickets anytime soon.
Your March Madness bracket may have a few surprises left in store, but as far as tournament ticket pricing goes, you already know what to expect.
Sure, tickets cost a pretty penny, but can you really put a price on witnessing history?
