BRENTWOOD, Tenn. -- All-session tickets for the 2015 Ohio Valley
Conference Basketball Championship are now on sale and are just $60
through Tennessee Tech's Athletics Ticket Office until January
31.
The OVC Championship will be held March 4-7 at Municipal
Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. For information on MTU tickets, call
931-372-3940
Fans wishing to sit in the lower level of Municipal Auditorium with
other fans from TTU should purchase the all-session tickets
directly from the school's ticket office. Please note that
reserved seating is limited and once a school's allotment is
purchased, only general admission tickets will be available.
A $60 all-session ticket includes admission to all eight sessions
of the OVC Championship, which includes seven men's games and seven
women's games (seating for women's games is all general admission).
Buying a ticket prior to January 31 means each game of the
Championship costs just $4.29 apiece.
After January 31 the price of an all-session ticket goes up to
$80.
Single-session, general admission tickets will be on sale starting
in mid-February through the Municipal Auditorium ticket office.
Those tickets will be priced at $30 for a men's session, $15 for a
women's session and $5 per session for students.
For the fourth season in a row tickets in the lower arena will
be assigned via a quadrant seating assignment. That guarantees
schools participating in a given session will have the seats
closest to the court and grouped with their fans. Fans of schools
not participating in a specific session will sit in general
admission seats in the upper (balcony) level.
The OVC Tournament will feature the top eight teams on each the
men's and women's side.
For the fifth year in a row the men's teams are using a merit-based
format where the No. 1 and 2 seeds receive a double bye to the
semifinals while the No. 3 and 4 seeds received one bye into the
quarterfinals. The first round includes the No. 5 seed against the
No. 8 seed and the No. 6 seed against the No. 7 seed.
This year the women's bracket is shifting back to a traditional
format that pits No. 1 vs. No. 8, No. 2 vs. No. 7, No. 3 vs. No. 6
and No. 4 vs. No. 5 in the first round. Two first round games
(featuring the top two seeds) will be played on Wednesday, March 4
with those two teams getting a day off before semifinal games on
Friday, March 6. The other two first round games will be played on
Thursday, March 5.
The men's teams continue to use divisional play and seeding is
based on the following. The teams that finish in first place in
each division will earn the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, with the top
seed going to the team with the best overall conference winning
percentage. Seeds 3-8 will be determined by conference
winning percentage, regardless of division. OVC women's teams are
no longer using divisional play.
