2028 Final Four is in Las Vegas; what to know, how to get tickets

How to get tickets to the 2028 Final Four in Las Vegas

The NCAA men’s Final Four is coming to Las Vegas for the first time in 2028, with games scheduled for April 1 and April 3 at Allegiant Stadium.

It’s part of an incredible sports year in Las Vegas that is expected to start with the A’s opening play in their stadium on the Strip and could end with an NBA team opening play.

With demand expected to be high for college basketball’s biggest weekend, fans have several ways to secure seats — but planning ahead is key.

Start with official NCAA ticket options

The safest and most reliable way to get tickets is through the NCAA’s official channels. Fans can:

-Purchase tickets directly through the NCAA ticket marketplace

-Apply for ticket lotteries or presales when they open

-Sign up for alerts about ticket releases and availability

The NCAA also partners with its official hospitality provider, On Location, which offers verified ticket packages that bundle game access with hotels and premium experiences.

Consider ticket packages and travel bundles

For a smoother experience, fans can buy full Final Four packages that typically include:

-Tickets to both semifinal games and the national championship

-Hotel accommodations near the stadium

-VIP events and fan experiences

These packages are often released months (or even years) in advance and can be reserved early with deposits.

Watch for presales and early access

Final Four tickets usually go on sale well ahead of the event — often in the fall before the tournament year.

Fans who sign up for NCAA notifications or partner mailing lists can get:

-Early presale access

-Priority ticket windows

-Updates when inventory becomes available

Use resale marketplaces — carefully

If official tickets sell out, verified resale platforms are another option. Common sites include:

-Ticketmaster (official resale exchange)

-StubHub

-SeatGeek

-Vivid Seats

Prices can vary widely depending on matchup and demand, with recent Final Four tickets ranging from hundreds to several thousand dollars.

Fans should stick to reputable platforms to avoid counterfeit tickets.

Plan early — Las Vegas demand will be high

Las Vegas is expected to be one of the most sought-after Final Four destinations ever, marking the city’s first time hosting the event.

That means:

-Tickets will likely sell quickly

-Hotels near the Strip and stadium will fill up fast

-Prices may rise as the event gets closer

Quick tips for Las Vegas basketball fans

-Sign up now for NCAA ticket alerts

-Decide early between single tickets or full packages

-Book hotels as soon as plans are confirmed

-Monitor resale sites closer to the event for price swings

The bottom line: Getting into the 2028 Final Four at Allegiant Stadium will take planning, patience and a bit of luck — but with multiple purchasing options available, fans have plenty of ways to secure a seat for one of the biggest sporting events Las Vegas has ever hosted.
