Public season tickets for the Illinois Men's Basketball team have sold out ahead of the upcoming season at State Farm Center. This follows a successful 2023-24 campaign where the Fighting Illini reached the Elite Eight for the first time since 2005 and finished ranked sixth in the final AP poll.

The previous season saw Illinois secure its third Big Ten title in four years, concluding with a 29-9 record, marking one of the most successful seasons in program history under Head Coach Brad Underwood. The success contributed to a high season ticket renewal rate of 93% and over 900 new deposits for season tickets.

Looking forward to the 2024-25 season, Illinois has bolstered its roster with five players from the transfer portal: Kylan Boswell from Arizona, Ben Humrichous from Evansville, Tre White from Louisville, Carey Booth from Notre Dame, and Jake Davis from Mercer. The team also welcomes newcomers including Morez Johnson Jr., named 2024 Illinois Mr. Basketball, five-star recruit Will Riley, and international players Kasparas Jakucionis and Tomislav Ivisic.

Student season tickets will be available first to football student season ticket holders on September 24th, followed by general availability on September 26th if any remain. Public single-game tickets and mini-plan packages will be offered first to I FUND members before opening to the general public. Single-game tickets will go on sale starting October 21st for different tiers of I FUND members, with general public sales beginning on October 24th.

Fans are encouraged to join the I FUND for priority access to mini-plan packages and single-game tickets. Those interested in obtaining future season tickets can join a waitlist which may provide opportunities as they become available.
