The greatest rivalry in college basketball adds another chapter tonight, as the #1 ranked Duke Blue Devils host the #8 UNC Tar Heels at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
With plenty of star power set to take the court tonight, including projected #1 overall pick Zion Williamson, ticket prices for Duke vs UNC have absolutely skyrocketed.

According to Kyle Zorn, a marketing strategist for secondary ticket seller TickPick, the cheapest ticket available is listed at $2,500 - which is just shy of the $2,674 cheapest ticket to get into Super Bowl LIII earlier this month.
"Between Zion Williamson, a No. 1 ranking and this being one of the biggest rivalries in sports, there's intense demand," Zorn said. "There's also a limited supply of inventory, which is having a major effect on price. Cameron Indoor Stadium has 13 percent the seating capacity of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. When you factor in that the floor seating is reserved for students, you're left with a short supply -- and massive demand."
In fact, Vivid Seats reports that one ticket to Wednesday night's game at Cameron Indoor sold for $10,652.

Tonight's game, airing on ESPN, is scheduled to tip off at 9pm ET.
