    Best App to Shop!

    After this app was pushed and shoved to my face by every influencer and public figure I finally budged! And I regret not doing so sooner! Thank you TRISHA PAYTAS! This really is the best app to shop concerts and events! I’ve gone to 5 different concerts this year all thanks to seat geek! I’ve been able to get floor or front row tickets for mayor concerts like Olivia Rodrigo, Nicki Minaj, Gloria Trevi, the Cancrlled pod! And more, I’m looking forward to buying more tickets and having lots of fun with seat geek!!!

    awsome dope freshness saaan

    Prices, Seat Views, Row Designation…

    Seat Geek!! Best prices with fees included! Immediate receipt of tickets via app!! Seat/Row views! The Row Designation line in the stadium chart view! App remembers my “include fees” option (don’t have to constantly check if “fees included” tab is chosen/on)!!

    This Was Great!!

    My first ever concert was Tyler, the Creators Chromakopia world tour in Philly. SeatGeek made not only finding amazing suite seats super easy but made finding parking easy too! Everything information wise was always right at my finger tips whenever I needed it. Details were easy to understand and helpful as well! 😃👍🏽

About NCAA March Madness First Four

The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First Four originated in 2011 as an extension of the traditional March Madness bracket. Held annually in Dayton, Ohio, the First Four features four play-in games involving eight teams: the four lowest-seeded automatic qualifiers and the four lowest-seeded at-large teams. This format increased the tournament field from 64 to 68 teams, allowing more teams a shot at competing on the national stage. The First Four games determine the final spots in the main 64-team bracket, adding a layer of excitement as teams battle to officially enter the tournament’s first round.

Over the years, the First Four has produced several memorable moments and notable underdog stories. In 2011, VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) famously won its First Four game and went on an extraordinary run to the Final Four, inspiring the nickname “First Four to Final Four.” Similarly, in 2018, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), while not a First Four team, made history as the first 16-seed to defeat a 1-seed, proving the unpredictability that the First Four often foreshadows. Teams like UCLA in 2021 have also leveraged First Four wins as springboards to deeper tournament runs, showcasing the First Four as a platform for unexpected heroes and inspiring Cinderella stories.
