Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski is set to retire at the end of this season and his final home game is approaching quickly.
It is only fitting that his final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium will be against bitter rival North Carolina and the game is set to be a potentially record-breaking spectacle. The current prices for the game are pretty insane. The lowest ticket price to get into the game is set at $3,690 with the average price of a ticket sitting at $5,392 for the once-in-a-lifetime event.
Front Office Sports reports that the game is trending to be the highest-selling game in the history of the Duke vs North Carolina rivalry.

Cameron Indoor only seats 9,314 for their home games, so tickets for an event as special as this are certainly hard to come by and in high demand.
Here are some reactions to the crazy prices that could set a bunch of records this upcoming weekend.
Hubert Davis could go from having a disappointing first year to most loved coach in America all in one night if he spoils Coach K’s final home game. https://t.co/r3bBhm4cxv

I know #coachK is retiring and it’s last home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium but that price is outrageous! Over $5k for a college game is insane.

In comparison, the get-in price for this past Super Bowl was $3,875 the day before the game, which is just slightly more than tickets to this college basketball game.
Duke games are always among the highest ticket prices in the country, with the average price of tickets coming in at $670 a few years back.
While this is Duke and Coach K’s final home game, they will certainly be going to the NCAA tournament this season, and have an impressive roster that could certainly take them deep in March this season.
