Villanova MBB Preparing for Tournament Run, Taking Ticket Requests

Villanova Men’s Basketball last made the NCAA Tournament in 2022 but after finishing the regular season with a 24-7 record (15-5 Big East) the Wildcats are gearing up for their triumphant return to the Big Dance.

The Wildcats are now accepting ticket requests (which fans can make at this link) for the First and Second Rounds of the tournament. Per the request form, “tickets will be allocated and seating will be determined based upon Nova Points totals as of December 31, 2025.” Nova Points accumulate based on season ticket packages and donations made to the Wildcats for NIL, athletic and non-athletic purposes.

Fans can request up to six tickets per round, although some tournament venues may only allow two tickets. The form continues “accounts will only be charged as Villanova advances. If you request and secure tickets [to] the first and second rounds, you will be charged on Tuesday, March 17;” with each successive weekend the Wildcats make it through, the charge for the next batch of tickets will hit on the subsequent Tuesday.

Fans can choose to buy tickets based on the prospective host site, allowing them to plan ahead based on travel accessibility — booking for Buffalo but not Portland, Ore., for example. Individual seats cost $165 for the opening weekend, $210 during the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight, and $300 for the Final Four. As of March 10, the Wildcats are expected to land as a No. 7 or No. 8 seed in the Big Dance.
