Attending Men’s and Women’s Basketball at UT’s Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center are electric experiences. The Division of Student Life and UT Athletics are excited to offer students free tickets to home games. This includes both Men’s and Women’s home basketball games on a first come first serve basis.
Student Ticket Prices & Seating
Home game tickets to Men’s and Women’s basketball games are free for students and must be claimed in advance through the Tennessee Athletics app.
Tickets must be downloaded electronically to a phone using Apple Wallet or Google Pay. Screenshots will not be accepted.
Basketball seating is general admission and is first-come, first-served. You may not create groups for basketball games like you would for football. Students wanting to sit together need to arrive together. Saving seats for latecomers is not allowed.
Claiming & Accessing Tickets
Ticket claims open on Mondays at 7:30 a.m. All games will be available to claim at least five days in advance. Tickets must be claimed through the Tennessee Athletics app.
- A game played on a Monday-Friday will open 2 Mondays prior.
- Saturday/Sunday games will open the Monday prior.
Big rivalry games sell out quickly. Be sure to reserve tickets early.
Attendance Policy & Returning Tickets
Tickets are not transferable. Students who claim a ticket are expected to attend. If you cannot attend, you should return your ticket so another student may attend. Penalties apply for students who claim a ticket but do not scan into the game.
Bonus Rewards for Basketball
Students who attend several basketball games may earn bonus T-Credits. They may also earn early entrance to SEC games. Vol Hoops and Lady Vol Hoops attendance is tracked separately.
