Looking to score Final Four tickets in Detroit? Well, the clock is ticking.
The deadline to apply for the 2027 Final Four lottery is fast approaching. Applications are being accepted at finalfourdetroit.com, through Sunday, May 31.
How to buy tickets to the 2027 Final Four in Detroit
There is a lottery system. There is a $25 application fee for the lottery, and fans who enter will be charged up front for the number of tickets they are requesting, with a maximum of four. The tickets available via the lottery are in the upper bowl at Ford Field, and cost $400 each.
Winners of the lottery will be notified in the fall, with their specific section and seat locations. Losers of the lottery will be refunded the cost of the tickets, but not the $25 application fee.
If you don’t win the lottery, there will still be ample opportunity to purchase tickets on the secondary market.
When is the 2027 Final Four in Detroit?
The 2027 Final Four will be April 3 and 5, with the national semifinals taking place Saturday, April 3, and the national-championship game scheduled for Monday, April 5.
The NCAA awarded Detroit the 2027 Final Four in November 2022, after years of the city bidding.
Has Detroit ever hosted the Final Four before?
Yes. Ford Field previously hosted the Final Four once, in 2009, when Michigan State beat UConn in the semifinals, before losing to North Carolina in the national-championship game.
How many fans can Ford Field hold?
Ford Field’s football capacity is around 65,000, but for basketball, it can hold more than 70,000.
