NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Tickets

This was a bucket list thing for me. Taking my 9-year old to see two games during session 1 on Friday at San Jose’s SAP Center. We had a blast until it was time to leave. On our way out my son needed to go to the bathroom but at every entrance we’re two ushers blocking the way. My boy has a doctor recognized small bladder. There is nowhere to go outside SAP Center. He started freaking out. As did a 70-year old gentleman needing to take his insulin (who was not allowed in). As a member of the local media who frequently attends Sharks/Barracuda and other events at SAP I found this very disturbing and frankly, inhumane. At the least, an announcement should have been made with 10 minutes remaining in the game re: whatever this unnecessary policy is.

Enjoyed watching all of the games. The atmosphere was great! A few suggestions to make the experience even better would be to get WiFi in the arena and have more ushers to help people find their seats. The facility is great, but larger screens would make the experience even better. My son’s only suggestion would be to have a better supply of full size basketballs at the merchandise booths-they sold out early on Friday and they only had small basketballs for sale when the doors opened Sunday. But again, it’s an atmosphere and experience like no other-I would highly recommend it to any basketball fan!

Great venue at Nationwide Arena. Our games were very entertaining. My buddies and I have been going every year to various cities but this was the first time that they have sold beer at the games. I don't see why they have to do this. I'm sure it's all about making tons of money more but I think it just takes away the family feeling it's always was known for. American greed has finally "punched their ticket" to March Madness.

The Nationwide arena was awesome and the staff there were very nice and friendly..... It was much easier to deal with when my team lost..... Had a great time

I love the tournament. The only negative is the cost of food and drinks—$5.00for a bottle of water is a little much.

The venue was perfect for this event. Adequate parking close by, lots to do close to the venue. The venue itself had some of the best concession options I've ever seen. The entertain during media time outs and in between games was great. All of my experiences at this event are positive!

I thought the overall experience in Tulsa was a bit disappointing. The games were good, rhe staff at BOK was good, but something lacked. There was little hype in the community, nothing to do outside the arena. Inside the arena, it would have been nice to have an MC to bridge the gaps during tv timeouts, and to inform of lookins. Also, the PA system was hard to understand.

This was a memorable experience for me and my sons. The venue was perfect for the large crowd. My only suggestion would be for the NCAA to have a larger quantity of T-shirts to sell. My son was disappointed that they sold out of the shirt he wanted. I can’t wait for the return to Columbia, SC!!!

Food prices are high. I had wished they would have played more of the other games that were playing in other regions on the scoreboard at halftime as halftime was pretty boring. Wish the scoreboard would have also displayed more data.

Games were great, location of the seats was good; however, these were the most uncomfortable seats of any arena I've ever been in. There was maybe 8 inches of leg room between my seat and the seat in front of me! I may as well sat in the back seat of a sub-compact car. I will never, ever attend another sporting event in Nationwide Arena again! Very inconsiderate shoving those seats so close together in the name of GREED! NEVER AGAIN!

Fantastic event would have love to had the Fan experience. I inboxed question about it but got no reply.

Loved opening weekend of the NCAA basketball games in Tulsa. Attended all 4 games on Friday and enjoyed the experience. Attended the Tech game on Sunday. Loved every moment. Also enjoyed the VIP room with refreshments and food.

Everything was great. Great venue, excellent food. Wonderful basketball. Short lines and great crowd control. You couldn’t find a safer show in town.

I have been to Tulsa, Orlando 2x, Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, and now Jacksonville twice for March Madness First/Second rounds and this was the first time I just thought things were okay and not great. The last time they were in Jax they lined the streets with food trucks and a couple of beer tents this year there was not one food truck other than a concession line by the baseball stadium with hot dogs and chips and two beer tents set up right outside the arena. There is nothing really close by the arena to do in Jax other than one tavern that was always packed with a line outside the door. I felt the street entertainment/food/beer options were very underwhelming compared to years passed. Once inside the arena hey they finally sold beer at a NCAA event this is probably a great revenue source for sure there were a ton of venders for that but they weren't allowed to come in the aisle way to sell so you still had to leave your seat to go and get a drink and the lines were usually long. The venue itself holds just over 14k people (without the floor being open for seating) and just doesn't offer a lot of amazing options when it comes to food and they kept running out of everything so wait times were insane considering they have had this event here twice in the last five years and they new it was a sellout crowd. It just didn't seem like they were very prepared for this inside the venue and there isn't much around outside of the venue so out of all the places I've been for a tournament Jax is easily my least favorite of the venues I've been to. The games were fantastic, I liked having the bands and mascots battle each other it was fun for everyone. Also parking was pretty easy going with a lot of options close to the venue and if you wanted to save money some not too far away either. They had the right parts of the streets blocked off to allow easy entry and exit so that part they got right.

We where in Columbia, SC and they did a wonderful job everywhere. Our first four game where stinkers, but Duke UCF made up for the first four. Having gone for over twenty years, we really appreciate the look-ins at other games on the big screen, all though we asked for this for YEARS. We are certainly not big fans of two number one seeds at on site. This guarantees two blow outs.

Columbia definitely knows how to host the NCAA tournament. It was easy to find our seats and they also offered free parking and shuttle rides to the arena. It was overall just an awesome experience. Prices for food and drinks at the arena are a little pricey, but that it to be expected. Me and my mom had an awesome time!!

This tournament site and handling of the games by Jax folks and NCAA staff in Jax were very pleasant. Especially enjoyed the in-arena video and constant updates of all the other games. Staff/ushers were very helpful and acted that they liked the spectators coming to this event. Only negatives we have is that (1) the arena is a hockey arena-this contributed to players slipping on wet spots and seating being too far from the basketball court and action; and (2) there was confetti drifting down from the rafters periodically during the game.

The Nationwide Arena was perfect for March Madness games. It was easily accessible, with tons of parking and restaurants. The facility was perfect size and it appeared that all seats had very good views of the games. Bathrooms were not crowded and very clean. Plenty of food and beverages, although the beer prices were unreasonably high.

Columbus and Nationwide Arena were amazing hosts for NCAA men's basketball!

Great show & town! Tulsa was nice!! Appreciate all the work!
