How much are Big 12 Basketball Tournament tickets? These are the cheapest games in KC
The Big 12 Women’s Basketball Tournament concluded in Kansas City on Sunday, March 9. Led by transfer and Olympic bronze medalist Hailey Van Lith, Texas Christian won the conference just one year after finishing 1-17 in conference play.
T-Mobile Center only has one day of rest before the Big 12 Men’s Basketball Tournament tips off at 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 11, with a matchup between No. 13 Cincinnati and No. 12 Oklahoma State. Kansas State fans won’t have to wait to see the Wildcats play; the No. 10 seed plays No. 15 Arizona State at 6 p.m.
This is the first Big 12 men’s tournament to feature 16 teams, so it’s the first time four teams received a double bye, meaning they get two extra days of rest and preparation. Four other teams, including Kansas, received a single bye and will play Wednesday, March 12.
Tickets are available in sessions, and each session includes two games, except for the championship game Saturday, March 15. If you’re a fan or alum of a school in the Big 12 or want to see tournament play, here are the cheapest tickets available from AXS, the tournament’s official vendor.
