St. Louis, MO – Ticket scalpers are always a concern of police with any big sports event.
But the NCAA says it will also keep an eye on coaches, who officials say sometimes re-sell their tickets. That's based upon past experience, the association says.
Every Division I coach can get tickets; but they are not allowed to re-sell them.
It's also illegal in Missouri to re-sell tickets for more than face value.
The nearly 47,000 seats at the Edward Jones Dome were sold out months ago.
L.J. Wright, director of the NCAA's Division I Men's Basketball Championship, says some coaches have been known to resell tickets. He says it is a problem the basketball committee is trying to address.
