On the secondary market, prices for the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Final Four Semifinals are starting at $301, which is the 3rd most expensive Final Four Semifinals ticketiQ has ever tracked, and 60% above the last time the game was hosted in New Orleans, in 2012.

As a point of comparison, the Women’s Final Four, which is being held in Minneapolis, has a get-in price of $121.

Since rising to $781 following Sunday’s Elite 8 games, Semifinal prices are down 60%. With the drop in price, this year’s Final Four semifinals are now the second most expensive ticketiQ has ever tracked, behind only 2018 in San Antonio. That year’s Final Four featured Kansas, Villanova, Michigan, and Loyola (IL).
