Illinois Men’s Basketball Students Tickets Sellout in Record Time

Illinois men’s basketball remains one of the toughest tickets in Champaign. University of Illinois student season tickets for home games sold out in just nine minutes, setting a new program record. All three thousand Orange Krush tickets were claimed, cutting last year’s sellout time of 18 minutes in half. It’s also the sixth straight year the student section has completely sold out, underscoring the energy around Brad Underwood’s program. The demand follows a historic season for the Fighting Illini, who reached their first Final Four in 21 years. Expectations — and excitement — are clearly running high at State Farm Center.
