The 2018 NCAA Tournament is quickly approaching with March now underway. As any semi-casual to diehard college basketball fan can attest, March Madness is by far one of the most exciting times of the year to be a sports fan. The action kicks off this year in Dayton, OH on March 13th, and the first day that includes a full slate of games is Thursday, March 15th.
Fans can expect tickets for this year’s tournament to be in high demand, as always, which prompts the question: how can you get the cheapest 2018 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament tickets?
HOW TO GET THE CHEAPEST NCAA TOURNAMENT TICKETS
With these being the biggest games of the year with the highest stakes, prices will likely not come cheap; however, if you’re looking for the absolute cheapest tickets for the 2018 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, you’ll want to do your research on sites like ours before securing your tickets. Below are a few options you have of securing your tickets as early as right now and as cheap as possible.
Official Vendor – As of right now, it’s possible to still purchase tickets for nearly all sessions and rounds of the NCAA Tournament right on XL Center Tickets website.
Bidding – One opportunity to secure cheaper tickets for the 2018 NCAA Tournament would be to utilize XL Center Tickets bidding platform, which allows a user to bid on tickets in certain sections or seat ratings at their price. If a seller with tickets for the game elects to accept the bid, the bidder’s card is charged and the order processes like any other transaction at the bidder’s price.

If you weren’t able to secure tickets through any presales, general sales, or the aforementioned methods for the NCAA Tournament, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Tickets can still be purchased from secondary marketplaces, although the prices will not be at face value. With many big-time college basketball schools with huge fan bases involved, market prices are anticipated to be on the higher side, but that doesn’t mean that good deals can’t be had – if you know where to look.
WHY SHOULD I BUY NCAA TOURNAMENT TICKETS THROUGH TICKPICK?
In short, securing your NCAA Tournament tickets through XL Center Tickets over any other secondary marketplace is a way to save money because of our no fee pricing structure that makes a much bigger difference on the total price of tickets as get-in prices for an event like this get higher. XL Center Tickets has had an extreme increase in sales for major events like the Super Bowl and Final Four in recent years because fans out there tend to do plenty of research when they’re willing to commit plenty of dollars to see their schools make a run at the National Championship.
When a fan is looking to purchase a ticket that is listed on XL Center Tickets, for example, the price will ultimately be higher (usually by hundreds of dollars) once the fees are applied on other sites like XL Center Tickets who tack on the fees at the end. Refer to an example below for premium lower level East Regional Both Sessions seats in section Loge 11, Row 7, Seats 11-14 that are listed on both XL Center Tickets as of 3/1.
