Atlanta and New Orleans draw crowds from around the country
Towson, MD (March 13, 2013) – If the NCAA Final Four is any kind of economic barometer, things are looking up. In 2013, the average price for a ticket to the final, regardless of matchup: $482, a $100 increase over 2012 (average of $372). Despite price, thousands of basketball fans will flock to either New Orleans or Atlanta for the NCAA Division I Women’s and Men’s Final Four. With steep ticket prices and flight costs, as well as accommodations, leading provider of global travel insurance, RoamRight, a division of Arch Insurance Company, is eager to protect the trip investment of sports fanatics across the U.S.
