About Matthew Knight Arena

Matthew Knight Arena is an indoor collegiate arena located at the University of Oregon in Eugene.

The arena is owned and operated by the University of Oregon and seats approximately 12,500 for basketball, with capacity adjusting for concerts and other event configurations.

Named for Matthew Knight, the late son of Nike co-founder Phil Knight and Penny Knight, the arena was built as a major multi-purpose venue and signature piece of Oregon’s athletics facilities. It is home to the Oregon Ducks men’s basketball and Oregon Ducks women’s basketball programs, and it also hosts touring concerts, comedy acts, family shows, PBR events, Cirque du Soleil productions, and commencement ceremonies.

The arena is regarded as one of the premier collegiate basketball venues in the Pacific Northwest, with steep seating that keeps fans close to the floor and a home-court atmosphere built around one of the most recognizable college basketball courts in the country.

How Much Do Tickets to Matthew Knight Arena Cost?

Matthew Knight Arena 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 comedy and family shows to Oregon Ducks basketball and major touring concerts.

For Oregon Ducks basketball, tickets can start around $15–$30 for upper-level seats. Lower-bowl seats, courtside areas, and premium locations are higher, especially for marquee matchups and high-demand dates.

For concerts and touring shows, tickets typically range from about $40–$150+ depending on the act. Floor-adjacent seats, strong lower-bowl views, and premium areas usually command higher prices when demand is strong.

For comedy and family shows, tickets typically range from about $30–$100. Pricing depends on the performer or production, the seat location, and how quickly inventory moves for that date.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing for high-demand events. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining seats often become more expensive, especially in lower-bowl, courtside, floor-adjacent, and premium areas.

Matthew Knight Arena Seating Guide

Matthew Knight Arena’s seating layout is worth understanding before buying because the venue changes by event type. Basketball uses a compact lower-and-upper-bowl configuration around the court, while concerts and touring shows may adjust the floor and stage setup.

Best Seats at Matthew Knight Arena

• Best value: Upper-level sections and seats in the corners or ends are typically the most affordable while still keeping you inside the arena’s compact bowl.
• Closest to the action: Courtside seats and floor-adjacent lower-bowl sections put you nearest to the stage or court.
• Best overall experience: Midcourt sections in the lower bowl offer a strong balance of sightline, proximity, and atmosphere for basketball.
• Premium and suite options: Club seating and premium areas offer upgraded amenities for guests who want a more elevated event experience.
• For groups: Groups can be accommodated in blocks of seats, and coordinating contiguous seats early is especially helpful for high-demand games and touring events.
• General admission: Reserved seating is standard for basketball, while some touring events may offer general admission areas depending on the setup.

Getting Ready for Your Matthew Knight Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where parking, entry lines, and post-event traffic can build around major games and concerts.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Campus lots and garages fill before major games and events, and traffic builds around game time, so give yourself extra time for parking, walking, entry, and security.
• Wear the right footwear. The bowl features stairs between seating levels, so comfortable footwear helps when navigating steps.
• Dress in layers. Matthew Knight Arena is indoors and climate-controlled, but Eugene’s weather can vary when walking to and from parking.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Arriving early is especially useful for major events when campus traffic and parking demand increase.
• Know your entrance. Your assigned gate and level appear on your ticket, and checking those details before arrival can help you move through busy entrances more efficiently.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
