The Mountaineers crushed Wildcat Final-Four dreams (expectations might be a better word). Kentucky, like Syracuse and Kansas were thought to be locks for the Final Four. All were 1-seeds. All were sent home much earlier than their fans hoped. Only Duke remains as a 1-seed in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament — playing essentially the hometown favorite Bayler (Waco isn’t far from Houston) for the South Region title in an Elite 8 matchup Sunday.

On Saturday, March 27, 2-seed, West Virginia upset 1-seed Kentucky by a score of 73-66, to win the NCAA East Regional in Syracuse and a berth in the Final Four. So fan, West Virginia and Butler have punched dance cards for Indianapolis.

Final Four Tickets start at $255 and average $500. Currently, we’re finding 4,000+ tickets from 8 tickets site representing hundreds of sellers.

FanSnap makes it easy for fans to spot the best value tickets.  We make them so hard to miss. Take a look at the Final Four semifinal ticket search page. FanSnap shows tickets listed for 38% below the average asking price in two different sections.

The ticket market is dynamic. Tickets are being sold and new tickets become available all the time. This means the best value tickets are always changing.

Here are the top states with fans searching for Final Four Tickets.

1. Indiana
2. West Virginia
3. Kentucky
4. Illinois
5. Ohio

Earlier today, Kentucky was #2 on the list. Since West Virginia beat Kentucky in the Elite eight, West Virginia jumped up to the #2 slot from #9. This list will likely look different on Sunday night.

Finally the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (tickets) is here! You bet we’ll make it to some games. Going to the tourney in person is even better than a computer with 6 monitors tuned into CBS’s live TV coverage of the tourney streamed online.

Here’s a glimpse inside the FanSnap locker room this morning just as we were about to start our day.
