ACC Tournament Ticket Prices Are A Complete Joke

People hoping to attend the ACC Tournament can get in for the price of a cold domestic beer.

The ACC Tournament is underway at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., and the ticket prices are outrageously cheap.

Tickets for the early session (Florida State/Virginia Tech and Notre Dame and Wake Forest) and the late session (NC State/Syracuse and Boston College/Clemson) are as cheap as $4 on StubHub as of publication.

ACC Tournament tickets are comically cheap.

That's comical for a conference that prides itself as being a basketball power. A tipster sent me a photo of his seat at the FSU/VT game with seats right behind one of the baskets.

The man paid $1 for the prime seats. One dollar. There's not a bar in D.C. that I know of where you can order a beer for $1. If there is, I've certainly never been there.

Not only was his ticket just $1 (before fees), but further pictures sent to OutKick showed Capital One Arena with far too many empty seats to count.

There's simply no excuse for tickets to be this cheap. Clemson is a tournament team and Wake Forest, Syracuse and Virginia Tech could all find a way to play into the NCAA Tournament.

Want to see them play? You can do so for cheaper than a Modelo at my local Mexican restaurant. D.C. is also not far from multiple ACC teams. It's a quick Amtrak or flight away.

Virginia Tech is playing in the photos above, and Washington, D.C. is LOADED with Va. Tech graduates. Did they all just decide to not show up?

I made sure to clear my schedule when Wisconsin was in the Big Ten Tournament in D.C. because that's what a good fan does.

Do better, ACC fans. Do much better. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
