Koala Basketball Ticket Prices to Increase to $10

COLUMBIA, SC- Thanks to our dedicated fans and patrons, our 2024-25 Men's and Women's Basketball seasons are off to an incredible start!

As a result of such high demand for event tickets, basketball ticket prices have increased to $10 per game.

To ensure that every fan has the opportunity to cheer on their team, we will now require patrons to vacate the gymnasium following each event to facilitate entry for the following event.

Please be advised that a separate ticket must be purchased for each event. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we navigate this transition. Thanks and Go Koalas!

The Koala men & women next return home to face St. Andrews Univ. on Wednesday, Nov. 13 (5:30 & 7:30), Bryan College on Nov. 23 (2 & 4 PM), and TWU on Dec. 7 (2 & 4 PM)

Permitted Bags:

1. Clear Bags: Attendees are allowed to bring clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags with dimensions not exceeding 12 inches x 6 inches x 12 inches. It is essential that these bags are completely transparent, devoid of any patterns, logos, or embellishments that could obscure or hinder visibility of the contents inside.

Limited Exceptions:

Diaper Bags: Parents or guardians accompanying infants are allowed to bring a diaper bag, provided it is subject to inspection. Only the contents necessary for the infant's care should be included.

Medically Necessary Bags: Bags containing medically required items are allowed but must undergo inspection at designated entry points. Whenever possible, we encourage attendees to seek pre-approval for these bags. The contents should be restricted solely to medical necessities.

Prohibited Items:

Any bags or containers that do not conform to the specified clear bag guidelines are strictly forbidden. This includes, but is not limited to:

Backpacks, Purses, Totes, and Duffel Bags: All sizes, types, and construction materials are not allowed.

Tinted, Patterned, or Branded Bags: Any clear bag that has color, designs, or logos will be prohibited.

This rigorous policy is put in place to maintain the safety, security, and overall enjoyment of all attendees. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and adherence to these guidelines. Your understanding helps create a safer environment for everyone involved in the event. Thank you for your compliance!
