WSU men’s basketball 2014-15 season tickets sell out

Men’s basketball season tickets sold out for the first time since the 2006-07 season and the second time in school history.

Charles Koch Arena seats 10,500 people and sold out every regular season game last year.

“Our fans don’t just fill our stadium, they bring it to life with their passion and energy,” director of Athletics, Eric Sexton, said in a statement last week. “I wish to express my gratitude to Shocker Nation for their overwhelming support of our programs.”

Koch Arena had more than 10,000 attendees for 152 consecutive regular season games. The last time it didn’t crack 10,000 was in December of 2004.

WSU students will still receive their free general admission tickets and are not affected by the sellout.

USA Today gave Charles Koch Arena an Honorable Mention as one of the top game atmosphere arenas in college basketball in March 2013.
