March Madness Becomes Sadness
Ticket prices for the college basketball championships always skyrocket when the
68-team draw is announced. And they jump even further as the Final Four teams
emerge. The year 2020 was no different. The 700 floor seats that are sold to
students for $40 apiece were already reselling for as much as $4,670 in early
January. If the history of March Madness is a guide, those tickets could have sold
for more than $10,000 each once the Final Four teams were known. In 2020,
however, there wasn't a Final Four: Fear of the coronavirus convinced the NCAA
to cancel that year's tournament. The only madness was among those that
paid scalpers' prices for tickets that got only $40 refunds.
