Kansas State vs FAU March Madness Ticket Prices: How much does it cost to attend the Elite 8?

It didn’t take wild mental gymnastics to talk yourself into Kansas State carving out a path to the Final Four. Sure, Purdue and Marquette were seeded higher. And yes, the world seemingly bought into Duke in unison sometime in late February. But K-State’s Keyontae Johnson possesses the comeback story of the season, and point guard Markquis Nowell is (rightly) getting his flowers now for helping Jerome Tang steer this Wildcats season to the top of the rough-and-tumble Big 12 despite bottom-of-the-barrel preseason expectations. There was a road.

But was there ever a road that ended with FAU in the Elite 8? That one was harder to figure.

The Owls, led by the ever-folksy Dusty May (and during Ted Lasso Premiere Week, no less), were America’s highest-seeded mid-major (Gonzaga doesn’t count). But could their three-loss record possibly hold up against (probably) Purdue and Duke back-to-back?

Fairleigh Dickinson took care of the first hurdle, but the Owls polished off the second one themselves, knocking off SEC strongarm Tennessee in the Sweet 16 Thursday night.

Now, it’s Manhattan’s own taking Manhattan, piloted by one of Manhattan’s own in Nowell, against an Owls team that just gives zero Hoots. How much will it cost you to enter the World’s Most Famous Arena Saturday evening at 6:09 pm EST?

Kansas State vs FAU March Madness Ticket Prices

With only one game left on the slate at the Garden instead of a pair, the get-in price on SeatGeek has now decreased significantly (and, yeah, probably the loss of two massive fanbases in the Spartans and Vols has something to do with it).

Now, fans traveling to Manhattan (New York, not Kansas) without a ticket can get into the arena for $131 (including fees). The average price will be quite a bit higher, and expect a packed house, but if you’re a Wildcat or Owl fan hoping for a miracle, the numbers may be in your favor.

Who knows? Maybe you’ll even be able to pull off some last-second, no-look magic like Nowell does on a daily basis. So just … don’t look. Prices could go down.
