Big Ticket Game
At the beginning of the men’s college basketball season, the most anticipated game would have been Kansas at Texas. Then Texas lost. And lost. And lost.
But no worries, another game is upon us that has grown greater intrigue than that lackluster Big Monday game on ESPN. Wednesday brings us Kansas State and Kansas.
However, this latest game will not be nationally televised — go figure that ESPN would miss out on the best Big 12 Conference game of the season to air UConn at Notre Dame and Duke at Maryland. Only one of those four teams is currently ranked in the top five.
Meanwhile, both Kansas State and Kansas are ranked in the top five.
But if watching it on TV isn’t your cup of tea, and you would prefer watching it live you may want to think again.
A pair of tickets for Wednesday’s game, with a parking pass, on eBay went for nearly $1,000.
Or if that’s too pricey for you, stubhub.com has tickets for a little lower prices. But the cheapest you can find on there: $374.99 for a ticket that’s just about near the rafters.
No matter where you are watching the game — unless you are like me and will be working — it guarantees to be one that both fan bases will be talking about for at least a week… Until the Big 12 Conference tournament begins in Kansas City.
By the way, a strip of tickets for all sessions to the Big 12 tournament are currently running between $395 and $2,324 on stubhub.com.
