With the start of the 2020-21 regular-season less than two weeks away, Austin Peay State University athletics has announced its social-distancing and ticketing options for the penultimate Dunn Center season.
Austin Peay will reduce basketball attendance to approximately 35% capacity this season. Season ticket holders will receive the opportunity to purchase based on their athletics annual giving and season-ticket holder renewal status from the 2019-2020 season.
Beginning today, donors and season ticket holders will begin receiving emails based on their priority rank. This email will notify individuals when purchases are available. Fans will have a week long window to respond to the email or call before staff continues through the priority order. Once notified, fans may contact the ticket office at 931-221-PEAY to select their seats for the 2020-2021 season.
Austin Peay will start with active donors and season ticket holders from the 2019-2020 season. After all donors and season ticket holders have been contacted customers on the waitlist will be served. This process will continue until capacity is reached.
The home opener, a women's single game contest Saturday, Nov. 28 against Trevecca, will not be ticketed and will be free of charge to the public. This allows fans to visit the facility and speak with ticket office staff, who can assist in finding available seating locations for the 2020-2021 season.
Everyone who purchased season tickets during the 2019-2020 season will retain their status and seating location when the 2021-22 renewal process begins.Â
SOCIAL DISTANCING MEASURES
There will be no lower bowl seating for fans during the season. The lower level will be limited to players, coaches, and game-day support staff only. Seats will be assigned to create a buffer between groups to ensure social distancing is maintained.
PRICING
Season tickets will be priced at $150 for upper level reserved seating with a discounted rate of $130 being offered to Faculty/Staff and military members.
Single game tickets will not be made available for purchase until season ticket sales have concluded or capacity is reached.
STUDENT SEATING
Students seating will be located in sections AA-BB for both men's and women's games. More information will be sent to students directly on how to request/receive tickets for the upcoming season.
