Season tickets and two five-game mini-packages for the 2010-11 Virginia men’s basketball season are currently on sale.
All courtside seats and lower level seats in UVa’s John Paul Jones Arena must be purchased as part of a season ticket. Season tickets in the lower level cost $405 for Virginia’s home schedule – the same as last season – and require an annual contribution to the Virginia Athletics Foundation (VAF) and a gift to the John Paul Jones Arena project. The season tickets also include a home exhibition game with Roanoke College on Nov. 6.
Upper level season tickets in many areas cost $405 ($324 for UVa faculty and staff), the same as a year ago. An annual contribution to VAF and a gift to the John Paul Jones Arena project may be required for some seat locations.
A new offering for 2010-11 are season tickets in the higher rows of upper level sections priced at $183 ($147 for UVa faculty and staff). A three-month payment plan option is available for all season ticket purchases.
Two five-game mini-packages are also on sale. The Weekend 5 mini-package includes Virginia’s games against Boston College, Georgia Tech, LSU, North Carolina, and Virginia Tech. The Power 5 mini-package features UVa’s match-ups with Clemson, Duke, Iowa State, Maryland, and NC State.
Mini-packages are available in the upper level of John Paul Jones Arena and cost either $133 or $62 depending on the seating location. Seating locations will be assigned following the season ticket assignment process.
Another change this season is single-game ticket pricing will not vary by opponent. Single-game tickets, a six-game Holiday Hoo Crew package, and Family package tickets go on sale Oct. 15. Single-game tickets start at $13 for every 2010-11 home game.
