The University of Arizona is raising ticket prices for football and menβs and womenβs basketball by an average of 15%.
The price increase, announced in an email to ticket holders sent Friday evening, will go into effect during the 2023-24 academic year.
βAs we look to maintain our departmentβs day-to-day operations and remain competitive in the ever-changing environment of college athletics, I want to proactively share with you that we will be increasing ticket prices,β UA athletic director Dave Heeke said in the email.
βWe have been able to keep ticket prices steady for most of these tickets without major increases for nearly a decade. This decision was not taken lightly as we evaluate current economic conditions and growing financial costs while remaining affordable by market standards.β
With the increase, season tickets for football range from $110 to $3,700 (excluding value tickets and skyboxes). For menβs basketball, they range from $470 to $2,540. For womenβs basketball: from $100 to $205. The prices for basketball do not include βScholarship Row.β
βWe take tremendous pride in providing a first-class fan experience at our venues, and large crowds at Arizona athletic events make a difference for all our programs,β Heeke said. βAs we continue to showcase our student-athletes competing at the highest levels, our athletics department will remain focused on our affordability and ensuring fans have the best experience possible at Arizona Stadium and McKale Center.β
