I'd be curious to see how ticket prices look on Thursday (I'm not buying, so I haven't been checking). As others have mentioned, prices might come down as people start worrying about being able to get rid of tickets. Then again, I would imagine the first two games right now are in really high demand, so prices might stay up. I bought two full strips of tickets for the NCAA tourney Atlanta regional this year, anticipating Virginia being in it (ugh, I just reminded myself). Paid something like $630 combined (can't remember exactly, but it was in the $600's). It was a huge splurge for me. Of course, when Virginia bombed out early, I didn't want to go to the games, nor did my brother, who was on the hook for the other seat. I put them up for sale to try to make a small profit, but nobody was biting. I kept lowering the price, willing to take a small loss. Fortunately, early in the week of the Sweet 16, my wife found a buyer on a local moms Facebook group - someone's boyfriend. He was a Kentucky fan and they were playing. I quickly called him. I was asking $750 (wishful thinking), he offered $700, and I immediately agreed. I told him I could meet him within the hour, but there was bad weather on the way, so he didn't want to venture out. Afraid of losing a sale as prices dropped, I told him I'd come to his house. I did, he gave me $700 cash, and I immediately took it to the bank, relieved. Prices plummeted right after that. A couple days later, I would've only been able to get $200+.
