Curry Man: Davidson Parlaying Tourney Success Into Tix Sales

Davidson Likely To Sell Out Every Home Game On Strength Of Last Season's Success

Davidson College has doubled its men's basketball season-ticket base from 2,000 to 4,000 following last year's appearance in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA tournament, as "no previous season has been this highly anticipated," according to Scott Fowler of the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER. Every home game "will likely be a sellout" at Belk Arena, though the school actually "decreased capacity this season, from 5,800 to 5,219, by adding 1,200 chair-back seats where bleachers used to be." Davidson Dir of Ticketing James Hendricks said, "We've been able to expand our reach. We always thought it was a win for us if we were getting fans from Charlotte to come up I-77. Now we are getting some alums in Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia driving to games, thinking it’s worthwhile to spend a couple of hours in a car to come see us” (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 11/9).
