Thanksgiving week in Southwest Florida brings a different kind of holiday tradition: high-level college hoops in a compact, close-to-the-court setting where every possession feels loud and immediate. Whether you’ve followed feast-week tournaments for years or you’re planning your first one, Fort Myers Tip-Off tickets put you inside an early-season showcase with bracket-style intensity.
This page covers everything you need — from understanding how Fort Myers Tip-Off works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.
The Fort Myers Tip-Off is an annual NCAA Division I men’s college basketball tournament held during Thanksgiving week in late November at Suncoast Credit Union Arena on the campus of Florida SouthWestern State College in Fort Myers, Florida. First held in 2021, it’s become a notable holiday-week destination event that brings high-major and mid-major programs to Southwest Florida for multiple days of meaningful non-conference games.
The tournament is organized into two divisions — the Beach Division and the Palms Division — with each division typically featuring four teams. Teams play a bracketed or round-structured format across multiple days, usually spanning the Tuesday-through-Thursday window of Thanksgiving week, and the results count toward regular-season records and NCAA evaluation tools like NET and quadrant results. The stakes center on division titles (Beach Division or Palms Division winner) and early résumé-building momentum that can matter later in the season.
Recent fields highlight why fans travel for this event: the 2026 Beach Division includes Purdue, Oklahoma, Pitt, and DePaul, while the 2026 Palms Division features Charlotte, Davidson, Georgia State, and Northern Iowa (UNI). With Suncoast Credit Union Arena’s modern, intimate build and an approximate capacity of 3,500, the experience stays close to the action from most seating areas. If you’re planning to attend Fort Myers Tip-Off, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.
Box Office Ticket Sales also carries tickets for other college basketball tournaments held during Thanksgiving week and beyond. If you like the multi-day format and neutral-site matchups, exploring similar events is a great way to plan your season and lock in seats early.
Fort Myers Tip-Off tickets typically range from around $20–$30 for individual-game upper/end seating to $75–$150+ or more for premium courtside or multi-session all-access passes, with premium packages running higher.
Prices are most influenced by the division and matchup (Beach Division games featuring high-major programs like Purdue and Oklahoma often command higher demand), whether you’re buying single-game tickets vs. all-session passes, and how close your seats are to the court. If you’re hunting for value, end-court and upper sideline areas are often the place to start, while premium locations rise quickly for marquee matchups.
