Or know someone who has?

It's coming to Big D next year where it belongs.

$20 App Fee automatically taken. No idea how many applicants they will take-I wouldn't have a limit if I were running shop, but I read something that there was a 20,000 limit for this year.
You buy the tickets now, and are refunded if you don't "get selected."

Seems like a scam, but I'm giving it a run....

You apply...and are given tickets.

Then the "drawing" takes place, and if you aren't selected, they refund you.

Falls,

I have been to Final Four a few times (working media), but I have seen a billion tickets for sale. You won't have any trouble getting tickets.

My Dad applied in 1986 for 4 Tickets to the New Orleans Final Four in 1987. He was selected for 4 Tickets. Unfortunately my Dad Passed Away in August of 1986. It just so happens that he was an Alum of Indiana. I sat and watched Keith Smart sink that baseline jump shot in the final seconds for Indiana to win it. I am not a big believer in all that super natural shit but to this day It makes me wonder.

Exactly once I went to New Orleans and the closer it got to game time the cheaper the tickets got, I went to 3 more Final Fours and Not once did I have tickets for those 3 and always wound up seeing the game.

Yes, The seats weren't that good, but it was my end of the court when Webber decided to use that time out he didn't have. Everybody in the stands knew it. Were you there too?

All I can remember is he had to fill out the form and mail it in with his check for the tickets.

I used apply periodically, but never won. It has been several years since I applied.
