LUBBOCK, Texas - Due to the overwhelming demand for personal seat licenses (PSLs) for men's basketball, the Texas Tech Athletic Ticket Office announced today that 400 prime PSL seats remain in the upper level.
Russell Warren, Assistant Director of Athletics for Ticket Operations, said PSL and ticket sales have been brisk since the hiring of Bob Knight as head men's basketball coach.
"The week following Coach Knight's hire was amazing," Warren said. "We were inundated with PSL requests from not only Texas, but across the country. Since the demand was so great for PSLs, we have returned to the original plan, which had approximately 500 PSL seats in the upper deck."
In the week following the hire of Knight, the ticket office reported that all lower level seating had been sold in that span.
General admission season ticket packages are still available for $96.
Texas Tech averaged 8,600 in attendance last season and, according to Warren, expects to easily surpass that mark at the turnstile next season.
