COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With just over a month remaining before
the season opens in Eblen Center, Tennessee Tech Athletics has
shifted into high gear with its 2012-13 basketball season ticket
sales.
The home schedule features 30 home games on 22 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 Monday, Nov. 5, when first-year
coach Jim Davis puts the women's team on the floor for an
exhibition game against Lee University.
The first regular season home games come in a doubleheader on
Saturday, Nov. 10, following a football game in Tucker Stadium. The
Golden Eagle women host Tennessee Wesleyan at 5:30 p.m., followed
by a coach Steve Payne's men's team facing Crowley's Ridge at 7:30
p.m. A busy month of November includes 10 home games, while Tech
hosts three more in early December before both teams embark on
lengthy road stretches.
The women host a total of 16 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 30 games on
22 dates, is on sale for $100. Senior season tickets are $75 each,
Tech employees can purchase season tickets for $65 each, and a
youth ticket and membership in the Hoop Troop, is $25.
All single-game tickets are $10. That makes any of the season
tickets a money-saving option. For an adult season ticket holder,
the savings for the entire season is $120 per ticket, while a
senior season ticket represents a $145 savings per ticket. Tech
employees save $155 per ticket. A Hoop Troop membership and season
ticket will save $195 per person over individual game tickets.
Fans and business owners also have the option of purchasing a
"Back the Golden Eagles" season ticket for the games in November
and December.
The "Back the Golden Eagles" ticket includes 10 tickets to each of
the 13 home games in November and December (on 10 different dates)
for $200. The same number of individual game tickets for that
package would cost as much as $1,000, so the savings would amount
to $800.
“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.”

weekdays from 8 a.m. to noon, and from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The phone
