This page covers everything you need — from choosing the right seats at Ford Center to knowing what to expect when you arrive on game day.

About Evansville Basketball

Evansville men’s basketball is a storied NCAA Division I program and a longtime member of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). The Purple Aces built one of college basketball’s great small-college dynasties under Hall of Fame head coach Arad McCutchan, winning five NCAA College Division (Division II) national championships in 1959, 1960, 1964, 1965, and 1971. The program’s legacy also includes standout names like Jerry Sloan, plus championship-era scorer Larry Humes and modern-era contributor Marcus Wilson.

Today, the Purple Aces play their home schedule at Ford Center in downtown Evansville, Indiana. Opened in 2011, the arena is a modern multi-purpose venue that also hosts concerts, hockey, and other events. With a capacity of approximately 11,000 (with a basketball configuration of around 9,000–10,000), Ford Center creates an energetic, intimate college basketball environment on game nights.

Conference matchups in the MVC are a major driver of ticket demand, and Evansville’s rivalries add extra edge to the schedule. Longstanding conference battles with the Southern Illinois Salukis and the in-state Indiana State Sycamores can be especially popular, along with regional history against the Butler Bulldogs and Indiana Hoosiers. If there’s a specific rivalry game you’re targeting, browsing Evansville Purple Aces tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do Evansville Purple Aces Tickets Cost?

Evansville Purple Aces tickets typically range from around $10 to $20 for upper-level/general seating to $30–$60+ or more for premium lower-bowl and courtside seats, with suites and hospitality packages running higher.

Prices move most when the opponent and context change. Conference rivalries (including matchups like Southern Illinois or other in-state games), the day of the week, overall demand, and the team’s competitive standing can all push get-in costs and premium inventory higher. If you’re looking for value, upper-level and corner/end seating often delivers a lively atmosphere at a lower price point.

No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.

For many fans, the downtown setting and compact basketball configuration make it easy to feel connected to the action throughout the arena.

Best Seats for Evansville Purple Aces Games

The right seat depends on what kind of game day experience you're after:

• Best value: Upper-level and corner/end sections — elevated full view, crowd energy, lower price point
• Closest to the action: Courtside and lower-bowl sideline seats — feel the pace up close
• Best overall view: Center-court sideline sections in the lower bowl — strong sightlines near center court, with plays developing across the court
• For groups and premium experiences: Suites and club/premium seating areas — comfort and privacy for groups or special occasions

If you’re organizing a group outing for a conference rivalry or a high-demand date, it’s smart to line up seats early so everyone can sit together.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before you commit to a purchase.

Getting Ready for Evansville Purple Aces Game Day

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially in a downtown arena setting where pregame traffic and entry lines can pick up as tip-off approaches.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service near Ford Center gets congested on game days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand nights.
• Use public transit if you can. Ford Center is served by local METS bus routes with nearby stops in downtown Evansville.
• Plan your rideshare pickup point. Designated rideshare pickup/drop-off zones are available in the downtown area near the arena, and post-game pickups can take longer than expected.
• Check the bag policy before you go so there are no surprises at the entrance. A clear-bag policy is in effect, and small clutch bags are permitted (with size limits and restrictions on large bags and backpacks).
• Bring a card or mobile payment — Ford Center is cashless.
• Re-entry is not permitted — plan to stay once you're inside.
