Mark Allen has had trouble getting tickets to the NCAA Tournament, an event his grandfather, Phog, helped create eight decades ago.
“It shouldn’t be this difficult,” Allen said.
But the Midwest Regional at the Sprint Center involving Kansas, Purdue, Oregon and Michigan is the toughest ticket in the NCAA Tournament among the four sites this weekend.
As of Tuesday, New York-based TicketIQ, a ticket search engine and aggregator, advertised the cheapest tickets for Thursday’s semifinals matching Oregon vs. Michigan and Kansas vs. Purdue at $252, and seats for Saturday’s championship game were going for $152.
