Minimum fare: $17
Average ticket price: $131.97
Bargaining table: $$$
No. 7 Virginia heads north to Syracuse to play Orange on Sunday. The Cavaliers have won five straight and have a 7-2 divisional record. However, Syracuse could test Virginia, with the Cavaliers downing their ACC rivals by just six points in the Jan. 7 meeting.
Game seats start at $17 — a deal, given the impact the game has on the conference.
NBA: Los Angeles Clippers at Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 2. 2, 10 p.m. (ET)
Minimum fare: $17
Average ticket price: $118.50
Bargaining table: $$$
The Bucks host the Clippers in an exciting East-West matchup. Both teams enter the conference on winning streaks, with Milwaukee 3.5 games ahead in the East and the Clippers in fifth in the West. With Giannis Antetokounmpo back on the court after a sore knee, the Bucks look like a tough team to beat, especially for the Clippers, who are looking to build up strength ahead of the trade deadline.
Tickets for Thursday’s game cost just $17, well below the NBA’s average ticket price of $286.32 for the week.
NCAAW: Michigan State, Illinois, Feb. 24; 2, 6:30 p.m.
Minimum fare: $18
Average fare: 113.20
Bargaining table: $$
The 22nd-ranked Illinois team heads north to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a Big Ten matchup with the 13th-ranked Wolverines. Michigan, which lost to No. 10 Iowa State in the conference, No. 2 Ohio State and No. 6 Indiana in the last month, will be eager to win over the fighting Illini. Illinois will be a formidable opponent, showing its ability to step up to the big time and start the new year with a win over a tough Hawkeyes team.
Seats at the Chrysler Center start at $18, which is a deal for fans looking to attend a Big Ten-affecting game.
NHL: Los Angeles Kings at Florida Panthers, Jan. 27, 7 p.m. ET
Minimum fare: $18
Average ticket price: $93.91
Bargaining table: $$
The Kings and Panthers will meet in a cross-country NHL game on Friday. Los Angeles will be looking to jumpstart its Pacific Division campaign, finishing in the top third behind the Kraken and Golden Knights. Meanwhile, Florida State will test the Kings’ porous defense with a ferocious offense led by Brandon Montour.
Tickets to the game are under $20 — a bargain considering the average NFL ticket price for the week was $228.11.
NCAAW: Kentucky vs. South Carolina, Feb. 2, 7 p.m. ET
Minimum fare: $24
Average ticket price: $46.35
Bargaining table: $
Kentucky and No. 1 South Carolina are always fun to meet. The SEC rivalry has a storied history, with the Wildcats crushing the Gamecocks in last year’s conference title game. Without Rhyne Howard, however, this year’s Kentucky team is far from the team that beat the South Carolina Giants, and the Gamecocks beat the Wildcats 95-66 in their Jan. 19 meeting.
Still, for less than $30, you can watch the best teams in the country in one of college basketball’s most dynamic environments.
