Final Four A Tough Ticket

With Final Four tickets especially tight this year, the landlord of the Meadowlands Arena was accused of hoarding tickets for VIPs for college basketball’s showcase event.

The tournament is being held in East Rutherford in a publicly financed building with a seating capacity of 18,500. This is the last Final Four scheduled for a building that is not a dome.

The organization is being accused of putting aside as many as 1,100 tickets - 400 for politicians at the New Jersey Statehouse, including Gov. Christie Whitman, and another 700 or so for authority use and for business associates.
