COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With just one month remaining before the
season opens in Eblen Center, Tennessee Tech Athletics has shifted
into high gear with its 2013-14 basketball season ticket sales.
The home schedule features 27 home games on 24 dates, a combined
lineup of games that has fans excited, according to Mark Wilson,
TTU Director of Athletics.
“Our fans are not only excited about the start of a new
basketball season, but they really like the home schedules and how
many opportunities they will have to come out and watch the
women’s and men’s teams in Eblen Center,” Wilson
said.
“Our coaches did a great job in developing their schedules,
and both our fans and our student-athletes are looking forward to
playing that many games at home,” he said. “We
think the outlook is outstanding for both teams, there’s a
lot of enthusiasm and the attitude is really contagious, and
it’s showing up in our ticket sales.”
The home season gets underway on Tuesday, Nov. 5, when coach Jim
Davis puts the women's team on the floor for an exhibition game
against Truett-McConnell College.
The first regular season home game is on Saturday, Nov. 9, when
the Golden Eagle women host Tennessee Wesleyan at 7 p.m. After
opening on the road at South Florida on Nov. 9, the Golden Eagle
men's team gets the home season underway on Tuesday, Nov. 12, when
it hosts a special night against Loyola Chicago.
A busy month of November includes eight home games, while Tech
hosts four more in December before the new year dawns. The holiday
week includes the women's Ohio Valley Conference opener against
Jacksonville State on Dec. 28.
The women host a total of 13 home games while the men’s team
is on its home floor for 14 games.
Renewal information has been sent to all past Golden Eagle
Basketball season ticket holders, while applications for ordering
season and individual game tickets have been distributed for
potential new ticket purchases.
An adult season ticket, which admits the holder to all 27 games on
24 dates, is on sale for $100. Senior season tickets are $75 each,
Tech employees can purchase season tickets for $65 each (limit of
four), and a youth ticket and membership in the Hoop Troop is
$25.
While single-game tickets have been reduced to $8 each, the season
ticket packages always offer the greatest bargains. For an adult
season ticket holder, the savings for the entire season is $92 per
ticket, while a senior season ticket represents a $117 savings per
ticket. Tech employees save $127 per ticket. A Hoop Troop
membership and season ticket will save $167 per person over
individual game tickets.
Fans and business owners also have the option of purchasing a
"Back the Golden Eagles" season ticket for all 12 games in November
and December.
The "Back the Golden Eagles" ticket includes 10 tickets to each of
the 12 home games in November and December for a total of
$200. The same number of individual game tickets for that package
would cost $960, so the savings would amount to $760.
“There’s no question that season tickets and the "Back
the Golden Eagles" plan are the best deals we offer,” said
Sandy Zimmerman, Athletics Ticket Office Manager.
“We’ve seen an upturn in our ticket sales over the
past few days,” she added. “With the season getting
closer, we’re hearing more and more talk about the start of
the basketball season, and it’s showing up in additional
ticket sales, including a lot of brand new season ticket
holders.”
