The best seats in the house for Duke University’s last regular-season basketball game of the year against the University of North Carolina are going for more than $50,000 each. The cheapest available are going for $6,500. And over the summer, four tickets went for a total of $1 million.

Fans are driving the frenzy over tickets for the March 5 game because it’ll be the last chance to see coach Mike Krzyzewski — known as Coach K — go up against arch rival UNC at Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium.
