Q: How much do tickets cost to the basketball games being played in the Sweet Sixteen and Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament? Are they different prices at different places?
—Bob Walton, Carrollton
A: In general, 2017 Final Four ticket prices started at $200 for the upper level of the stadium, which includes a ticket to the semifinal games on Saturday and the National Championship game on Monday a spokeswoman for the NCAA told Q&A on the News via email. Lower levels begin at $345.
The ticket prices vary on location in the venues, the NCAA’s Gail Dent wrote. Fans can also purchase tickets as part of a hospitality package that includes more incentives, such as entertainment and hotel, along with the tickets.
All session tickets at the regional sites started at $200 or $250 each, depending on the site (due to venue size). This included a ticket to the Sweet Sixteen games on March 23 or March 24 and the Elite Eight regional final game on March 25 or March 26.
Q: If a president left office for any reason during his first year, the vice president would serve out the remaining term. However, then the Office of Vice President would be vacated. Would then the speaker of the house be next in line?
—Don White, Atlanta
A: In the event that the president is unable to serve, the vice president succeeds him. If neither the president nor the vice president are able to serve, the speaker of the House is next in line. However, if the vice president succeeds the president, as president he is able to nominate a new vice president, who must be confirmed by Congress.
