Looking to take a fun vacation in early March? Look no further than the Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament, where you can see some of the top teams in the country at a reasonable price.

The Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament starts tomorrow and according to TickPick, a secondary ticket marketplace, the basketball tournament based in Las Vegas is the cheapest among the six major tournaments.

The most expensive, the SEC, has an average price of $399.28 for an all-sessions pass. The cheapest, the Pac-12, has an average price of $127.48 for an all-sessions pass.

The presumed reason for the SEC’s large ticket price is that Kentucky is the main attraction. While that may be true, how many other good teams are there to see at the SEC tournament? Out of the Top-25 teams, Kentucky and the University of Florida are only two SEC teams.
