Tennessee Basketball season tickets sold out for a second straight year
Tennessee Basketball has sold out its season-ticket inventory of 14,500 for a second straight year, the Vols announced on Tuesday. It’s the sixth straight full-capacity season that the Vols have sold 13,000 or more season tickets.
Tennessee opens the 2024-25 season at home against Gardner-Webb on November 4. The home schedule is highlighted by games against Syracuse, Arkansas, Kentucky and Alabama, as well as a preseason charity exhibition game against Indiana on October 27.
The Vols announced season tickets were sold out last year on November 1. They went on to set a single-season program record with eight home sellouts, including the final four games at Food City Center. There were five sellouts during the 2022-23 season, tying the previous program record.
