With the Final Four in town, thousands of people will flock to Phoenix to cheer on their favorite team.
The festivities are more than just the title game, including Fan Fest and the March Madness Music Festival. Some activities require paid admission, while others do not.
FAN GUIDE: What you need to know about the events, concerts, parking and games.
To help your wallet out, these are the Final Four events you don't have to pay anything to experience (aside from parking).
Before you go, make sure to read about the "clear bag" policy and which items are prohibited from Final Four events.
FINAL FOUR FRIDAY (MARCH 31)
On Friday, March 31, the South Carolina Gamecocks, Gonzaga Bulldogs, Oregon Ducks and North Carolina Tarheels will hit the court at University of Phoenix Stadium for practice.
It's an open practice which means the public can watch for free! Parking is free, too. Each team will practice for an hour. After that, the College All-Star Game begins.
SCHEDULE:
University of Phoenix Stadium is located at 1. Cardinals Way, Glendale AZ 85305. Before you go, make sure to read about the "clear bag" policy and which items are prohibited.
MARCH MADNESS MUSIC FESTIVAL (MARCH 31 - APRIL 2)
Keith Urban, Aerosmith, The Chainsmokers, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will headline a free three-day music festival at Phoenix's Hance Park.
That's right! There is no ticket required to attend the nightly concerts. You will want to get to the park early because it is expected to be busy, plus you're going to want to get the best seat possible.
There is NO parking available at the park, however. Your options are to find a paid parking garage or lot (not free), park at one of Valley Metro's 11 Park-and-Ride locations (free) and take the light rail ($4 all-day pass) to the park. You could also try to find a meter. The meters are enforced daily from 8 a.m. - 10 p.m.
