fyi....just opened this e-mail if you are interested in Final 4 tickets the window is closing today for the lottery
NCAA Final 4 Tickets
Interesting that you have to pay to apply, but that definitely thins out the applicant pool.
The Masters should do the same so I can get a better chance

San Antonio Riverwalk during the Final Four is absolutely amazing. I really hope we all get to experience that with an Illinois appearance this year!
Milwaukee to Indy to San Antonio.... got it!
When do they do the lottery? Wanting to know how long my $$ will be tied up.
I didn't see it in the e-mail, but random google search found someone on reddit saying August, so take that for what it is worth. I have bought tickets to 1st weekend a couple of times (put in to get a notice for Raleigh this year) & once for second round & all I can remember is it seemed very early, so August seems about right.
Also sounds like everything will be upper level.

the year we were a number 1 seed with Ayo/Kofi I bought tickets to every possible sweet 16 and elite 8 game before the bracket was announced only for us to lose in the round of 32. took a huge loss on the tickets because the elite 8 teams that year were random.. i think there were 3 PAC12 schools
i will never buy NCAAT tickets ahead of time again

I did this for the Elite 8 games that year too (and lost a bunch of $). I still can't believe we lost in the second round with 2 All Americans on the team
Has been this way for decades. Always amazed me that they could get the public (including me, several times) to go for this. And from a business and public relations perspective, it is very impressive.Interesting that you have to pay to apply, but that definitely thins out the applicant pool.

I work with a lot of Purdue alumni. This year at the final 4 to fill the UConn sections they gave away free tickets to students if they wore a whit shirt and filled the UConn sections.
