Therefore, despite the base ticket price remaining the same compared to the 2024-25 basketball season, total ticket prices listed below have increased.

Season tickets should be renewed before the August 15 deadline to guarantee your same seats, but may be paid via an interest-free, monthly payment plan. The balance must be paid in full by the start of the basketball season.
