Ticket costs for Saturday's potential Final Four preview featuring No. 1 Michigan and No. 3 Duke in Washington, D.C., went from expensive to astronomical on the resale marketplace this week.

The Wolverines (25-1), the projected No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, and Blue Devils (24-2) are currently leading their respective conferences and are frontrunners to cut down the nets in Indianapolis in April.

Billed as the 'Duel in the District,' the pairing is making for a hot ticket with available tickets fetching four figures for the Saturday night (6:30 p.m. ET) showdown.

VividSeats listed single seats located in the upper reaches of Capital One Arena's second deck behind the basket starting at $348 on Wednesday. The cheapest pair of lower-level tickets was $1,191, and two 100-level seats at midcourt were going for $6,520.

For premium ticket shoppers, SeatGeek listed courtside seats -- 'Gold North, Row AAA,' meaning a folding chair with your shoe soles on the hardwood -- for $7,974 per ticket. With fees, the cost runs to $15,946.22.
