If you plan on attending the Final Four of the 2026 NCAA Tournament, you better be prepared to spend top dollar.

Arizona, Illinois, Michigan and UConn all punched their tickets to the Final Four at Lucas Oil Stadium. Most fans expected Arizona and Michigan to win their respective regions, especially since both teams were so steady all year long. Illinois, meanwhile, ended Iowa's incredible run with a 71-59 win in the Elite Eight.

What people didn't see coming was UConn knocking off Duke thanks to an improbable game-winner from Braylon Mullins.

"I think we were all just trying to get the ball out of whoever had the ball in their hands and trying to make a play on the ball," Mullins said. "Silas made an incredible, incredible play, and everything else just happened as it is."

With the Final Four just three days away, it appears the get-in price for Lucas Oil Stadium is still incredibly expensive.

As of Wednesday, the best deal on SeatGeek is $525 for a seat in Section 627.

What's the schedule for the Final Four?

The Final Four will begin with No. 2 seed UConn and No. 3 seed Illinois at 6:09 p.m. ET. As of this Wednesday, the plan is for No. 1 seed Michigan and No. 1 seed Arizona to square off at 8:49 p.m. ET.

CBS will televise both Final Four games, with Ian Eagle, Bill Raftery and Grant Hill on the call. Tracy Wolfson, meanwhile, will serve as the sideline reporter.

Oddsmakers have Illinois and Arizona advancing to the national championship game on April 6.
