Better get up early and get your tickets for the biggest Bradley home game in a long time.
Tickets also available by phone- Ticket office phone number- 309-677-2625

Bradley and Ticketmaster just opened up the top rows of Carver Arena for the first time all season. With average walk-up sales, it should easily surpass Loyola 2020. Let's sell out Carver! Should be rockin!
 
Here is the current Ticketmaster seat chart of available tickets (as of about noon, Thursday, 2/23). Not many left in the lower bowl.
Move fast if anyone is still planning on going.

Wow! Lots of tix sold already!

Any idea how many we expect on Sunday? I'm hoping for 8,500 at least. That should make it LOUD!
 
We should be calling it the MVC championship game but I dunno if the league office wants that phrase to be reserved for the tournament.
 
I'll be making my first trip back to Peoria in over a decade, bringing the whole family. I planned to just get tickets (upper bowl)at the door but if sales are strong I may order when I get home today.

I would highly recommend getting them in advance. I have a feeling that the box office is going to be very busy before tip-off.

Use https://bubrav.es/HOTB for discounted tickets ($5 -$10).
 
Wow should be a big crowd for Sunday. Lower bowl is practically all filled up, and the upper is bowl is selling quick. Still three more days to go as well, if you don't have tickets yet I wouldn't count on getting them on gameday. The place might be sold out.

Does anybody know the current capacity of Carver for Basketball? I remember previously seeing 11k? I know the layout has changed a little in the past few years (Student section is practically gone and other baseline seating is now the red zone or whatever they call it.)
 
Few lower bowl tickets remain.-
https://www.ticketmaster.com/bradley...005D3C96AA1433

The ticket office will remain open until 8 pm tonight.
The regular hours for tomorrow (Friday) are 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, though they might expand those hours again like they did today. And they are usually not open Saturdays, but I am trying to find out if they might have special hours on the weekend to meet the demand for tickets. If anyone knows, post the info here.

The Civic Center box office in the lobby of Carver Arena is open Friday from 10 am to 2 pm.
And as always, the Civic Center box office will have tickets available Sunday for walk-up sale 90 minutes prior to the game.

Is this going to be a sellout!
 
Can't emphasis enough how much a sellout crowd will mean to Wardle and the team. It's been a looooooooooooong time since there was over 10,000 in Carver Arena to watch a Braves game. It was almost 9 years ago to the day as on 2-25-2014 we played #2 Wichita State. This is game #162 versus Drake, the most games against any opponent and not many if any have been any bigger than this one. IT'S TIME TO ROCK THIS HOUSE! GET ER DONE!
 
I can't find a betting line on the game, yet, but I'm going to guess Bradley will be about a 2 point favorite.

Below are the tickets still available as of 11 am today (Friday, 2/24).
Compare with about 24 hours ago in the above image.
It looks like over 9,000 tickets sold.
