BATON ROUGE – With the start of men’s basketball season just three weeks away, the LSU Athletics Ticket Office has started selling season tickets both at the LSU Athletics Ticket Office and online at LSUtix.net.
There will be 16 home games during the 2016-17 season, which officially opens on Saturday, Nov. 12, at 1 p.m. against Wofford. The schedule also includes nine Southeastern Conference games at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center where LSU was 8-1 in league play last season.
Tickets start at $100 for a ticket for all 16 home games. Fans can go to LSUtix.net to buy their tickets and use the “Pick Your Own Seat” map which allows fans to see exactly what is available for sale. Tickets can also be purchased on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by phone at 225-578-2184 or 800-960-8587 or in person at the Athletics Administration Building.
LSU opens with three home games in the first seven days of the season, following the Wofford game with a Nov. 15 game against Southern Miss and then a Nov. 18 game with North Florida. That game a year ago in the Maravich Center was a game in which LSU scored 71 points in the second half to win, 119-108.
League play opens early this year, Dec. 29, with the annual Gold Game and that will be against Vanderbilt. LSU will play such teams at Alabama, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Florida during the league schedule at the Maravich Center.
The Tigers will host a free exhibition game against Reinhardt on Monday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. in the Maravich Center.
