With the 2024 NCAA Women’s volleyball season entering its closing phase, the final challenge for the top team across the nation begins on December 5. After months of facing one another on the regional stage, 64 of the top teams from several conferences will clash in a final tournament to decide the national champion.

This year, the hype is off the charts. Women’s volleyball has reached new heights of popularity, setting regional attendance records and national broadcasts. Naturally, the NCAA has released tickets to the annual volleyball extravaganza well ahead of next month’s tournament. In fact, a particular VIP ticket tier has already sold out. There’s little doubt that getting last-moment tickets will be nearly impossible.

Here is how you can grab your tickets for the 2024 NCAA Women’s Volleyball Tournament

The 44th edition of the Division 1 tournament will kick off with the selection show on December 1 on ESPN. The selection will reveal the brackets and the top-seeded teams heading into the contest that begins with the first and second-round games from Thursday, December 5 to 7. Then come the regional finals from December 12 through 15. Until this point, the tournament matches take place on college campuses across the nation.

However, the teams that emerge victorious travel to a particular venue for the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament semifinals and finals. The NCAA has chosen the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, as the venue for 2024. Tickets for the semi-finals and finals of the tournament decider matches are already on sale through websites such as On Location and Ticket Master.

Fans looking to travel to Louisville can grab tickets starting from around $40 all the way up to an eye-watering $384 per semifinal match on ticketmaster.com. The two semifinal matches will be held on December 19, while the championship clash will happen on December 22. It’s crucial to remember that those looking to catch the final match will have to purchase tickets separately.

Ticket prices for the December 22 final start around $130, while the most expensive listings cost $643 on ticketmaster.com. However, fans who are eager to catch all three matches of the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament can buy ticket packages from onlocationxp.com. The website currently lists three packages:

• The NCAA Championship Gift Official Ticket + Commemorative Gift Set
• NCAA Fan Experience Official Ticket + Pregame Hospitality
• 2024 NCAA Volleyball Championship All-Session Travel Package

The first package starts at $500, while the all-session travel package, which includes a four-day hotel stay, starts at a mind-boggling $2,095. However, despite being more expensive than the first package, the Fan Experience tickets have already sold out. This brings us to our next point: What about those who won’t be able to catch the event in person? Thankfully, premier sports broadcasters will bring the action from the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Tournament to living rooms across the nation.

How to watch the most anticipated 44th Division 1 NCAA Tournament?

Channels like ESPN will start broadcasting the action from the 2024 edition of the NCAA tournament, starting with the selection show. Unfortunately, detailed broadcasting details aren’t available because we’ll learn about which teams face one another during the first and second rounds until December 1. The current broadcast schedule is as follows:

• Selection show: Sunday, Dec. 1-6 p.m. ET on ESPN
• Rounds 1 and 2: From Thursday, Dec. 5 to Saturday, Dec. 7
• Regional finals: Thursday, Dec. 12 to Sunday, Dec. 15
• Semifinals: Thursday, Dec. 19 – 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN
• NCAA Championship match: Sunday, Dec. 22 – 3 p.m. ET on ABC

Last year, 19,727 fans attended the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Tournament final, and a historic 1.7 million people turned in to watch the broadcast. This year, those records are projected to fall. In September, ESPN reported that a record 808,000 people tuned in to watch the regular season match between the Huskers and Louisville. So those looking to grab tickets may not have much time left before every last one sells out.
