HBCU Tip-Off Tickets

HBCU Tip-Off Basketball Tickets

Watch four of the best Division II HBCUs battle it out on the court by purchasing HBCU Tip-Off tickets with TicketSmarter. The event was put together with the assistance of NBA star Chris Paul and provides four Historically Black Colleges and Universities with an opportunity to play each other at Mohegan Sun Arena in Montville, Conn. The event is a two-day doubleheader with each team playing two games, one on each day.

The schools playing in the first HBCU Tip-Off are Morehouse College, West Virginia State University, Winston-Salem State University and Virginia Union University. All four compete at the NCAA Division II level. All four teams have alumni in the Basketball Hall of Fame after Virginia Union’s Ben Wallace entered the Hall of Fame in 2021 after winning the NBA Championship and several individual awards with the Detroit Pistons. Wallace’s Panthers won the first Tip-Off title in 2021 after defeating Winston-Salem State 59-55 in the title game.

HBCU Tip-Off Ticket Prices

Several variables will affect HBCU Tip-Off ticket prices. The most important is the level of demand for a given contest. Non-conference games between little-known teams can be fairly inexpensive while tickets to the NCAA Tournament or NIT can be much more expensive. Conference tournaments and other conference contests can be a happy medium for fans who want to watch quality hoops without breaking the bank. 

How much are HBCU Tip-Off tickets?

Courtside and premium seats will cost much more while spots in the upper levels of an arena are typically more affordable. Typically, courtside seats for a conference game will be over $100 per ticket.

Costs can rise in the postseason. The average men’s March Madness ticket for first and second-round contests carried a cost of $173 while prices rose to as high as $135 for women’s games. Women’s Final Four and Championship tickets usually start around $114 while prices can rise as high as $1200. Men’s Final Four tickets will run around $555 for just the semifinals and $349 for only the title game.

Early season tournaments like the NIT Season Tip-off will usually cost between $19 and $172. NIT tickets for the upper level of Madison Square Garden will be the cheapest with costs usually in the $19 to $35 range. The Preseason WNIT, which features many of the best women’s basketball teams in the nation, will usually have costs between $15 and $50. WNIT Tickets will change in cost depending on which team is hosting too.
