PEORIA, Ill. - The first step in the ticket distribution plan for the Nov. 16 Bradley men's basketball game versus Southeast Missouri State at Renaissance Coliseum was taken today with the start of sales for Bradley University students, faculty and staff.

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 then 1981-82 NIT championship season.  Bradley began playing its home games at the Peoria Civic Center's Carver Arena to open the 1982-83 season.

Tickets are being sold only at the Renaissance Coliseum Box Office (309-677-2625) through a staggered sales plan, which began today with discounted tickets available for Bradley University students, faculty and staff. 

Members of the Red Sea student support organization received vouchers for the Nov. 16 game in their season-ticket package and may begin redeeming those vouchers for game tickets at the Renaissance Coliseum Box Office.  Students who are not Red Sea members may purchase tickets for $1 and are being limited to one ticket per current Bradley University ID.  Faculty and staff 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.

The regular ticket price for the Nov. 16 game is $20 for all seats.  Braves Club members at all levels may begin purchasing tickets to the campus game Oct. 24.  Season-ticket holders who are not Braves Club members may begin purchasing tickets Oct. 31 and any remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public Nov. 7.
