As you know, this is the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. With the first and second round being held at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee (our neighbors to the north), I will be attending men’s basketball NCAA tournament games for the first time in five years.

My plan is to meet up with two gentlemen I met at the Indiana Pacers game before racing off to the Indianapolis Colts divisional playoff game versus the Baltimore Ravens. At the time they mentioned I could buy one of their tickets to the games in Milwaukee. I told them I expected to pay below face value for all the tournament games but would pay them face value because it would be fun to sit with them. However, I never heard back from them so I never had to make that decision.

And, as expected, tickets for the games in Milwaukee are currently being advertised for under face value on craiglist.org. I expect tickets will be cheap when I arrive outside of the Bradley Center. I expect to pay somewhere between $20 and $40 for each session.
