Basketball season tickets on sale now

Men's and women's basketball season tickets are on sale for Purdue faculty and staff.

Faculty and staff may purchase a maximum of two men's basketball season tickets for $287 apiece. Additional tickets are available at the general public price of $358 each.

For women's basketball, lower arena reserved tickets are $123 apiece and upper arena general admission tickets are $80. There is no limit.

Tickets for both Big Ten tournaments also are available.

To secure the best seats available, call the Athletic Ticket Office at 49-43194 or visit www.purduesports.com to order online by Aug. 28.

For those who would prefer to purchase tickets in person, it is possible to reach the ticket office despite the nearby construction in the Mackey Arena Project. The new F-Lot east of Mollenkopf Athletic Center has permit spaces and a sidewalk to the east or south door of the Intercollegiate Athletic Facility (IAF), which houses the ticket office. Along University Drive near Mackey and IAF, there are several staff/visitor metered spaces. Pedestrians can approach IAF from University Drive, though from the south there is a short distance with no sidewalk, only street passage.
