Princeton vs Creighton March Madness Ticket Prices: How much does it cost to attend the Sweet 16?

The “Madness” of March is epitomized with Friday’s Sweet 16 matchup between the No. 15 seed Princeton Tigers and No. 6 seed Creighton Bluejays, both of whom pulled off upsets to make it to the second weekend of the 2023 NCAA Tournament.

Though Princeton’s victories over No. 2 Arizona and No. 7 Missouri stand out above the rest, Creighton’s handling of No. 3 Baylor cannot be ignored. The Bluejays are an offensive force to be reckoned with.

The good folks of Nebraska and New Jersey will be tuning in to support their squads during Friday’s contest, which will take place at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. You’d have never guessed it without looking at a map, but that location is almost equidistant to Omaha and Princeton. Yup — 690 miles from Omaha and 703 miles from Princeton. That’s as level of a playing field as you can get when you factor in fan travel.

That’s a hike for both parties. It’s either a 10-hour drive in the car or a costly flight since Louisville will be a “destination” this weekend with the games taking place. There’s good news, though. The tickets aren’t all that bad!

According to SeatGeek, tickets range from $33 in the upper deck to $563 on the floor. The “best seat” available at this moment is $188 on the floor and 10 rows behind the basket. Can’t argue with that! If you want the real bougie experience, the premium boxes could run you over $600. StubHub has similar listings that range from $36 to $673.

Regardless, this is a reasonably priced event when considering those in attendance will also get to see No. 1 Alabama vs No. 5 San Diego State. So if you want to up your budget with the logic that you’re paying a 2-for-1 price, every sports fan would nod in agreement.

Not too bad if you’re getting to watch the No. 1 team in the country and the most surprising underdog of the entire tournament, right?
