PEORIA, IL - Bradley Basketball season-ticket prices will not change in 2018-19, but members of the Braves Club at a minimum Bronze membership giving level will receive an enhanced, in-venue club room experience at Carver Arena next season.

The Peoria Civic Center will remove the home endzone portable seating risers for Bradley Basketball games and the court-level space will be remodeled into an in-venue lounge available exclusively to those fans who donate at least $300 annually to the Braves Club booster organization.

The new Braves Club lounge will replace membership access to the Lexus Room outside the arena above the Peoria Civic Center's Great Hall lobby, as well as the halftime concession stands red carpet lines for complimentary popcorn and soft drink. The new lounge will re-connect Braves Club members with the entire game day experience, eliminating the lengthy walk to the Lexus Room, while offering complimentary popcorn and non-alcoholic beverages for one hour prior to tipoff. The lounge also will feature in-arena concessions offerings, including beer and wine, allowing members to make their concessions purchases without missing any of the game action.

"In looking at various ways to add premium, in-arena experiences for our fans, we were very excited to develop the concept of re-locating our Braves Club room to a courtside location," said Bradley Deputy Athletics Director Brad Mitchell. "While it is never easy to make major seating changes, the fans who were asked to relocate were understanding of the benefit this premium experience will provide to Bradley Athletics and many found new seats they actually preferred at the same price point.

"The time was right to introduce the change," Mitchell added, "and as the enthusiasm for Bradley Basketball continues to grow, we will be better equipped to provide our fans a premium experience they deserve."

The introduction of the new Braves Club space will displace 66 season-ticket holders. The 32 account holders of those tickets all have been contacted by the Bradley Athletics Ticket Office staff, who assisted with seat relocation.

Bradley will continue to offer individual season-ticket options at seven different price levels during the 2018-19 season, as well as the Family Section opportunity:

Season Ticket Prices
Courtside	$1,000	Bronze	$285
Platinum	$800	Red	$165
Gold	$450	White	$110
Silver	$390
Family (four tickets in the upper bowl sections 19, 20 and 21A) ----->			$150

For the first time, Bradley also is adding lower bowl locations into the "Red" pricing level as endzone section 6, as well as sections 18, 19 and 20 between the concourse and the new Braves Club lounge, have been reduced from Bronze to Red pricing.

As the Bradley Athletics Ticket Office prepares for the season-ticket renewal process, deposits are being accepted for new season-ticket applications. A $50 deposit per seat will secure a new season ticket holder's spot in line when new season tickets officially go on sale this summer and anyone who makes a deposit will receive priority seat selection versus anyone who does not submit a deposit with an opportunity to "select a seat" in person at Carver Arena based on available inventory before new season tickets officially go on sale.

Deposits are being accepted only for new season-ticket accounts and may be made in person by visiting the Bradley Athletics Ticket Office at Renaissance Coliseum on online by CLICKING HERE. Those planning to renew existing season tickets do not need to submit a deposit. Bradley is in the process of upgrading its ticketing software and renewals information is expected to be distributed this summer.

In addition, the Bradley Athletics Ticket Office permanently will make the Hy-Vee Red Zone available on a single-game basis as a group sales opportunity. After first making the student section lounge available to the general public when classes were not in session, the Hy-Vee Red Zone was sold out for the eight games it ultimately was made available for group purchases this past season.
