Current Men's Basketball Season Ticket Holders

3 Key Points For Current Season Ticket Holders in Men's Basketball
  1. Current season ticket holders who do not want to change their current season ticket location or add additional seats to their account, nor want to select season parking, do not need to log in to Badger Select. To order season tickets, the same process as previous years applies, of returning the ticket order form and contribution form (when applicable) by July 24th is required.

  2. After completing the order and contribution (if applicable) process for season tickets that you had the previous season, you will automatically be assigned a personalized selection date and time during the Badger Select process, based on Badger Select rank: 2024 Annual Giving Level and Badger Select priority points as of December 31st, 2017 plus 2018–2024 priority points accrued from non-deductible donations, and years of purchase for non-donor season ticket holders; which will run August 16 – August 23. You then can choose to log in during that time, or any time after until the end of the process to view available seats at the Kohl Center. Badger Select Rank is first based on 2024 Annual Giving level, and then by Badger Select priority point total within each giving level as of December 31st, 2017 plus 2018–2024 priority points accrued from non-deductible donations.

  3. During the Badger Select process, as a current season ticket holder, you have the ability to purchase additional seats or swap your current seats for other available seats. You also have the ability to purchase parking based on your qualifying gift amount.

Importance of Badger Select Rank

Your Badger Select rank will determine your priority in the Badger Select process. The higher your Badger Select rank, the earlier your selection date and time will be in Badger Select which may increase the pool of quality seats to choose from.

Badger Select Rank is based on 2024 Annual Giving Level and Badger Select priority points. Badger Select priority points include: points as of December 31st, 2017 plus 2018–2024 priority points accrued from non–deductible donations. Non–deductible donations include those associated with priority seating and Badger Select seating contributions.

For Badger Select Rank, 100% deductible donations made in 2018–2024 will NOT be allocated towards Badger Select priority points. 100% deductible gifts include those to sport specific funds, endowed scholarships, or capital projects. (Please note Badger Select rank is different from Donor Rank.)

Historical Season Ticket Data

Below, we discuss the two factors which impact seat selection: ticket availability and donor rank. We also have included the season ticket seating results from the 2022-23 season, for your review. We recommend using last season's results only as a guide, as past results cannot predict future results.

Ticket Availability

Ticket availability is determined after the current season ticket-holder ticket sales process has completed (July 24th). The quantity and location of unsold tickets determines the inventory available for seat improvement as well as new/additional season ticket requests. Ticket availability for men's basketball does fluctuate from season to season. However, as evidenced by the chart below, season ticket sales rates for men's basketball are consistently strong.

Season Ticket Retention Percentages

Please keep in mind that the retention rates listed above include all Kohl Center seating areas. Retention rates of season tickets in 100 and 200 level sections typically approach 99%

2023 - 2024 Season Ticket Seating Results

The table below shows the 2023 annual giving level and priority point thresholds needed for seat improvement or new season tickets. We recommend using last season's results only as a guide, as past results cannot predict future results, especially given the new seat selection process.

Seat Change Process

Badger Select Replaces Ticket Order Form Seat Change Requests

The Wisconsin Athletic Department no longer reviews write-in requests and making allocations based on donor rank and requests. Badger Select is now your portal to make these decisions. Requests do not carry over year to year.

Payment

At the conclusion of the Badger Select process, payment in full for new or additional season tickets is required to complete your order. Applicable contributions and season parking fees (if selected) will also be due at this time.

Accessible and Premium Seating

Accessible seating and premium seating (Kohl Center suites, Courtside Club seats, and Nicholas Club seats) are not a part of Badger Select. For more information regarding accessible seating, please contact the Athletic Ticket Office at (608) 262-1440. For more information regarding Kohl Center premium seating, please contact the Athletic Development Office at (608) 262-1000.
