The arena is the home court for the Hampton Pirates Men's Basketball and Hampton Pirates Women's Basketball programs, both NCAA Division I teams.

How Much Do Tickets to Hampton University Convocation Center Cost?

Hampton University Convocation Center ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Hampton Pirates basketball to concerts and special events.

For Hampton Pirates college basketball, tickets are typically affordable, often starting around $10–$25 for general seating. Premium seating areas or marquee matchups can cost more, with opponent, date, and demand all influencing the final price.

For concerts and special events, prices vary by act and event type, typically starting around $25 or more. Higher-demand performers, larger productions, and limited seat inventory can push prices above entry-level ranges.
