It seems a bit counterintuitive, but going to Minneapolis in early April is really expensive.
The Michigan State Spartans earned the last spot in next weekend’s Final Four in Minneapolis. With the games now set, tickets have been selling at historically high prices.
According to TicketIQ, the average ticket to one of Saturday’s semifinals on the secondary market is $1,065. That’s the third most-expensive average since the blog started tracking prices in 2011, only behind 2017 (Phoenix) and 2015 (Indianapolis). At one point on Monday, the average price was north of $1100 and in the second place on the list.
