If you watched the OSU Cowboy basketball team's dramatic victory on TV Saturday night, you might be wondering how to get tickets to the Final Four. Here's a hint, keep the TV handy.

Officially, they're sold out. About 40% of the seats in the AlamoDome go to the students. Although only about 4% are set aside for students. About 25% are sold to the general public and that happens well in advance.

In fact, the NCAA is taking applications for tickets for "next" year's tournament right now. The 35% or so that remains goes to corporations, coach's associations, and NCAA member schools.

Of course, tickets always wind up on eBay somehow. Technically, the NCAA says they're not supposed to, and it says people take a risk when buying through unofficial channels.
