NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament
March Madness offers college hoops fans the ultimate in basketball intensity as 68 teams from across the country punch their tickets to the Big Dance and compete for the championship. Basketball devotees wait all season to fill out their brackets, cheer on their hometown heroes, and scope out promising NBA hopefuls as the nation's best college players take the court. March Madness has become one of the most anticipated television events of the year, but the thrills are even bigger inside the arena, where ticket buyers can hear the roar of the crowd feel the rumble of the action in person. The competition gets fiercer each weekend until the Final Four duke it out.
NCAA® Division I Men's Basketball Championship
The action, the drama, the madness - there's nothing like the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. From the First Four® to the Final Four®, teams battle it out to survive and advance in the single-elimination tournament. But only one team returns home as the national champion. Known as The Big Dance, each team, including the Cinderella teams who make it further in the tournament than many expect, vies for their chance to cut the traditional net from the hoop in victory at the end. Student-athletes give it their all and fans flock to venues to show their support and catch all the hoop heroics live. Be a part of March Madness® with Ticketmaster Verified Tickets.
NCAA Sweet 16®
The pressure is on from the start of every NCAA tournament, and it only builds with each passing round. Sixty-eight teams tip off at the start, and by the second weekend only 16 teams will remain - the Sweet 16. The NCAA Sweet 16 teams then play regional semifinals for a chance to move onto the regional finals (and become part of the Elite Eight®) later in the weekend. Fans can score NCAA Sweet 16 tickets with Ticketmaster to catch every epic play and edge-of-your-seat moment live
NCAA Elite Eight®
Half of the teams in the NCAA Sweet 16 get eliminated, leaving the Elite Eight for the regional finals. And these teams are truly elite - only the most talented and dedicated make it to this prestigious round of the NCAA tournament. Fans with Elite Eight tickets bring tons of passion and enthusiasm to the stands, cranking up the excitement at every matchup. The four games take place at the end of the second weekend, and winners advance to the Final Four®.
NCAA Final Four®
It all comes down to this. Student-athletes have pushed themselves hard to make it to the Final Four®, and they need to push themselves even harder to become the national champions. Fans score tickets to cheer their hearts out from the stands - and to give their team an edge. Each team is the champion of their region (East, South, Midwest and West) and must clutch the win to move on to the Men’s Basketball Championship taking place the following Monday. Featuring the two top teams in college basketball, the national championship game never fails to deliver an action-packed, white-knuckle finish to the entire tournament.
March Madness History
Ever since the first NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Championship was held in 1939, March Madness has gripped basketball fans across the country as top-tier amateurs lay it all on the line for a shot at glory. Originally played with a bracket of eight teams, both the tournament's number of competitors and its popularity have expanded exponentially in its 75+ years of existence. Today, 68 teams tango in one of four regional brackets (East, South, Midwest, and West) as the hoops hysteria spreads to arenas across the country. From perennial favorites to bracket-busting Cinderella stories, the tournament has seen it all, and fans won't want to miss a second of the unpredictable action hitting the hardwood this spring.
Kept fans far from court during a pandemic, which is understood. However, selling tickets for same price way up high is silly. The game wasn't great but we enjoyed just being at a game with some fans.
Good to have hometown Purdue there. Lucas Oil is a nice place to watch a game. You just can't go up too high if you are afraid of heights. Basketball is ok here but 15% capacity at a Basketball game, this can be a tough sell. Security was fine and no long lines, just a little too big for a 1st round game.
Enjoyable!! Hassle Free! Nice venue in Jacksonville. Friendly fans!!
Great annual experience. The venue was fine and Washington is a super city with a number of excellent things to do, including cherry blossoms in full bloom in the Tidal Basin. Loved it!
Just being at the Sweet Sixteen & Elite Eight was fantastic. Seeing the players up close. The fans, where i was sitting, were fantastic and very hyped. Food was good but it could have been a little warmer. Burger & Fries. Never thought that I would have been those games, but here I am. Exciting... Go Green! Go White!!! michigan.
Good parking availability, Restaurants easy to pick from. Good view from seats. Tickets reasonable . Fees reasonable
Not a variety of food and pizza I bought from self serve kiosk was cold
Lived up to hype. DC was a great host site. Will try to go again.
My family and I enjoyed the weekend in DC watching the NCAA basketball tournament. A tradition we have established 4 years ago.
Honda Center does not know how to present a game. They kept the lights on in the arena instead of just having the lights on over the court. The drama would have been even better had they left the lights on over the court as is typical. Secondly, they did not have any replays of the great moments in the game. The game was fantastic, the arena was mediocre. Thirdly, although the announced attendance as 15,000+ in an arena that holds close to 19,000, there were lots of no-shows. I guess their teams lost early and they went home. Either way, the at-large fans, people who came to see great basketball including myself, should have added all the missing seats. I guess people in LA don't care to see great basketball at the college level. Finally, Ticketmaster was awesome. Lost my tickets and they knew exactly how to find them.
My wife and I had tickets to both days of the West Regional. For the first time I decided to try the "NCAA Experience" package which included access to a hospitality lounge before and during the games. Not sure I would do this again. The "Experience" package included complimentary snacks and two free drinks per person each day. The drinks were served in small plastic glasses, but then the drinks in the arena were served in glasses only slightly larger and for very high prices. The former NCAA "star" on the second day was Michael Cooper, former Laker all-pro, and he was fabulous. He spent almost the entire time personally interacting with the attendees and regaling the room with stories and comments. The first-day celebrity, Jamaal Wilkes, was much less animated and didn't have as much to say. On the second day the buffet line moved very slowly because the food served required more time to plate. Should have been a second line to speed up service. The Honda Center is a terrific venue, and the location of the "NCAA Experience," the Shock Top Lounge, was great. Lots of seating inside and outside on the patio. Would recommend the NCAA continue to use the Honda Center for March Madness. Easy parking and great venue.
Tickets were great, games were great but the Colonial Life Arena is mediocre at best. Been going to the 1st and 2nd round for almost 20 years. In 2019 I expect wifi in the arena, video display of scores of other games, particularly on the first day of madness, in-game announcements when other close/interesting games go final, and multiple food options. Colonial Life had none of that. Downtown Columbia is cool with lots of before- and between- game dining options. Definitely not coming back here, though. Pretty much any other venue (Charlotte, Nashville, Lexington, Tampa, Orlando, etc, etc,) on the east coast is better.
Watching the 3 games was wonderful. The whole experience was wonderful . Ticketmaster was easy to use purchasing tickets. Everyone associated with the event did an outstanding job from the parking lot attendants, Anaheim police, ticket takers, ushers and concession stand workers. They all did a great job to create an outstanding experience. THANK YOU
The lack of stats for the games was disappointing. Our seats were behind the basket and the only stats available were shown behind us. It was a full game before we realized they were there. It would have been easy to show stats on the screens on the other side of the arena, but this wasn't done. In addition to not being able to see stats, our view was obstructed by the basket.
Great opportunity to see teams from around the country. Good mix of teams from east coast to west coast.
Yes great time. While I prefer the Printed ticket texting me the ticket went okay. It was the second time I used it. I used it in the Fan Fest for the NHL All Star Game. But I prefer the printed ticket but I can deal with the text. No app please. Still having trouble with that. Thanks for a great time at the March Madness. A great day for my Birthday Weekend. Vince!
I loved the games, especially the Duke-UCF game! Columbia was a terrific venue, with nearby hotels and restaurants to accommodate fans from the eight schools. Lines to enter the arena moved smoothly, with the “clear bag” policy evidently helping that to occur. I would like to ask how one can purchase lower level sideline tickets when they first come available in October. I used my password as soon as sales opened (within seconds), but still ended up 10 rows UP in the 2nd level!! Please let me know how I can get better seats for the games! Thanks.
Walking can be painful. Sometimes not. I have a state issued placard issued on my doc's request. My seats were more than 35 steps up. I saw a guy managing his crutches coming down. Handicapped seating already full. Parking a 100 yds & more from steps which were blocked closest to assigned handicap parking .. additional. Why make this event a painful or extreme exercise when a little planning and empathy oversight by some crab like me could have handled it. Sadly amateurish for an annual NCAA event.
The Duke vs UCF basketball game was a good one. The experience was awesome and hopefully Columbia SC will get a another tournament soon.
Loved the NCAA tournament in Columbus Ohio last week for the 2nd round games. Will buy tickets again in the future for sure....
