The process through Ticketmaster requires you to submit an application and pay in full now ($300 per ticket) for the opportunity to be randomly selected sometime next winter. If you are not selected they will refund your $ minus a $25 application fee at a yet to be determined future date.
So if I want to attend next years Final Four in San Antonio where I live I need to fork over $1200 now and then wait until early next year to see if I get tickets? And if I don't get selected I'll get $1100 back someday? Nice.
BTW, the only tickets available will be in the upper deck of the Alamodome.
