PEORIA, Ill. - Personal Seat Option owners are not the only group guaranteed seats for the Bradley Basketball team's return to campus Nov. 16 versus Southeast Missouri State. Members of the Red Sea student support group also will receive tickets to the game at Renaissance Coliseum as part of their membership package.
The game versus the Redhawks will be Bradley's first regular-season men's basketball game versus a NCAA Division I opponent played on campus since March 18, 1982 when the Braves beat Tulane, 77-61, at Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse en route to the program's fourth National Invitation Tournament title. Bradley began playing its home games at the Peoria Civic Center's Carver Arena to open the 1982-83 season.
Membership in the Red Sea student support organization is $25 and signup is ongoing at the Renaissance Coliseum Box Office and the Student Activities Office in the Michel Student Center. The Red Sea also will be signing up members on campus throughout Welcome Week. Red Sea members receive tickets to all men's basketball home games while school is in session, a Red Sea t-shirt, a membership card and the opportunity to earn prizes throughout the year.
Tickets for the Nov. 16 game versus Southeast Missouri State at Renaissance Coliseum will be $20 for all seats, with a half-price discount for Bradley University faculty and staff and $1 price for Bradley University students who are not members of the Red Sea. Tickets will be sold only at the Renaissance Coliseum Box Office (309-677-2625) through a staggered sales plan:
The general student body may begin to purchase tickets Sept. 19 and will be limited to one per current Bradley University ID. Sales for Bradley faculty and staff also will begin on Sept. 19 and employees may purchase a maximum of two tickets at the half-price discount of $10 and a maximum of two additional tickets at full price. Valid Bradley identification will be required the night of the game for students, faculty and staff to enter with discount tickets.
