Season Tickets
The Fighting Illini will open the Brad Underwood era by playing a total of 18 games at State Farm Center during the 2017-18 season, nine each during the non-conference and conference portions of the schedule.
The renewal deadline for current Illinois men's basketball season ticket holders is Aug. 7.
Season tickets are also on sale now to the general public. Tickets can be purchased online at FightingIllini.com, by phone at 866-ILLINI-1 or in person at the ticket office located in the West Entrance of State Farm Center.
This year fans still have access to several season ticket packages with prices varying by seat location. Within the 200-level fans can select sideline for $480, baseline for $380, or upper baseline for $230. To view pricing tiers, please refer to the State Farm Center seating map (PDF) or check out the Interactive Seating Chart to see the view from your section.
Mobile Pass
For a more affordable option, fans still have access to the Slam Dunk Mobile Pass* for $125. This pass includes all 18 home games and assigns seats 48 hours prior to each tip-off. Fans receive a different seat location each game by electronic delivery.
* The Fighting Illini Mobile Pass is not a traditional season ticket therefore it does not include an I FUND parking pass or priority points.
