The NCAA Tournament kicks off with the first four on Tuesday and Wednesday.

March Madness shows off the very best players fighting for their way into the record books.

March Madness 2019 Tickets

There’s something for every fan. There are powerhouse schools, Cinderella teams or just your hometown school. There’s also one-and-done, prep to pro players or the school legend squaring off in March. Loaded with stars ready to go pro and the chaos that a one-and-done game brings, you can’t turn away from the experience. That’s not to discount that these players are playing for nothing except passion, not super-max deals.

With tournament sites all over the U.S., including Dayton, Ohio, Raleigh, North Carolina, Denver, Brooklyn, St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Anaheim, Louisville, Chicago, Philadelphia and Houston, there’s no excuse not to see a game in person.

This year, the Duke Blue Devils — led by Zion Williamson, Cam Reddish and RJ Barrett — are looking to write their names into the history books. If you miss this team before they go pro, you’d be missing a piece of NCAA history. With close to one in five bets picking Duke to win the national title, tickets are in demand.
