Vols Again Sold Out of Season Tickets
The University of Tennessee announced Wednesday morning that the men’s basketball program has sold its complete allotment of 14,500 season tickets for the 2024-25 campaign at the Food City Center.
This is the sixth straight full-capacity season in which over 13,000 fans have purchased season tickets to see the Volunteers compete on their home floor, including the third straight over 14,000.
Tennessee has placed top-eight nationally in average attendance each of the last six full-capacity seasons, including top-five in each of the past five. Last year, the Volunteers finished fourth in the country with an average of 19,664 fans per home game. Only nine schools in America averaged upwards of even 16,000.
Four of the six highest single-game, on-campus attendances in the nation in 2023-24 were at Food City Center. That included 22,547 to see the contest against No. 11 Auburn and 22,322 to see the matchup with Texas A&M, good for the largest and third-largest attendances at the arena since the capacity reduction in 2007-08.
The Volunteers posted eight single-game sellouts and notched five in a row in 2023-24, both setting new program records to eclipse marks set just one season prior. The 19,664 average marked the fourth-highest figure in Tennessee history, including the third-biggest number since the capacity reduction.
Tennessee is coming off arguably its best season ever.
The Volunteers went 27-9 (14-4 SEC) in 2023-24, claimed the outright SEC regular season title and earned their second Elite Eight appearance. Head coach Rick Barnes led his team to a fifth-place finish in both major national polls, a program best.
