COLUMBIA, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Athletics Department has announced a new season ticket pricing structure for Gamecock men’s basketball, making it easier and more affordable to catch great college basketball. A new lower level family ticket plan, and price adjustments to benefit the season ticket holder highlight the new structure.

“Gamecock fans will want to get the best seats for an exciting 2013-14 basketball season,” Athletics Director Ray Tanner said. “By taking advantage of this new ticket plan and getting close to the action, fans can match the passion of Coach Martin’s young and talented team and make Colonial Life Arena a big home court advantage for the Gamecocks.”

The new pricing structure provides a benefit to the season ticket holder through savings of approximately 20 percent from the total cost of single-game tickets for every game of the season. Also new for the 2013-14 campaign is the Coke Zero Family Section (section 109), which includes season tickets for four, a Coke Zero/Gamecock branded T-Shirt and drinks for each game. This is an exciting addition to the lower level season ticket pricing this season.

“We know the passion South Carolina fans have, and our team needs to feel that energy every game at Colonial Life Arena,” Gamecock head coach Frank Martin said. “We are excited about building that type of culture around Gamecock basketball. Night in, and night out, our opponent needs to feel that energy and passion, and having our fans loud and excited each game at Colonial Life Arena this season is an important part of that process.”

The new pricing structure is listed below:
Lower Level Seating:
Gamecock Club Members: $260
University Faculty/Staff: $210
Coke Zero Family Section (Four season tickets/four T-Shirts/four drinks for each game/section 109): $600

Upper Level Seating:
$200 (no Gamecock Club membership required)
University Faculty/Staff: $160
End Zone seating (Four upper level seats): $360
Individual game pricing will now be $20 for a lower level seat, $14 for an upper level seat, and group ticket (15 ticket minimum) pricing will be $10 per seat.

Reserve your season tickets for the 2013-14 campaign by placing a deposit at Gamecocksonline.com/Tickets or by calling 1-800-4SC-FANS.

Wouldn’t be a bargain at 1/10th the price. Does anyone actually watch basketball anymore?

Hate to say it, but it is cheaper to see a baseball game, and at least USC has a winning team for that sport.

They could do like the women’s team and basically give the tickets away and they still wouldn’t get more than 50% of capacity.
