Fans hoping for a chance to receive tickets to the 2011 Men's Final Four through the NCAA's random selection process have 10 days to submit their application online at www.ncaa.com before the May 31 deadline.

The drawings conclude if 20,000 applications are received before then.

The NCAA Final Four general public allocation is the largest for any national championship.

The 2011 Final Four is April 2 and 4 in Reliant Stadium in Houston, with the University of Houston and Rice University hosting the event. The allocation includes tickets in the lower level of the stadium, which will seat more than 70,000 fans for the Final Four.

Tickets are $200 for lower-level seats and mid-level seats behind the basket, $180 for upper-level sideline seats, and $160 for upper-level seats behind the basket. For the first time, based upon feedback from fans, applicants can request up to four tickets, which are good for the Saturday national semifinal games and Monday's national championship.

The NCAA will determine ticket recipients in July and notify those selected by the end of August. Individuals not selected to receive tickets will receive a refund of the full application deposit amount by August. Only one properly submitted application per individual/household will be accepted for inclusion in the ticket selection process.

Final Four tickets may not be offered as a prize in a promotion, sweepstakes or contest, or auctioned for fundraising purposes unless authorized in advance by the NCAA.
