UCLA BASKETBALL - PAULEY PAVILION

UCLA home basketball games are played in Pauley Pavilion where numerous national championship banners hang from the rafters, reminding everyone of the rich and storied tradition of UCLA Basketball. In recognition of their financial support, annual donors to the Wooden Athletic Fund at $850 and above receive seating priority and are eligible to purchase seats in the Blue and Gold Priority Areas, subject to availability. For the 2007-08 season, a Coaches Roundtable membership ($5,500 annual donation) was required to purchase a pair of seats in the Floor or Middle Level behind the basket. New donors at lower membership levels were seated in the best available Upper Level locations, predominantly in the corner sections of the East End of Pauley Pavilion.

By the start of the 2007-08 season, all levels of Pauley were SOLD OUT on a season basis. The renewal rate for the 2008-09 season is expected to be extremely high, leaving very few seats for reassignment to upgrading or new donors. Wooden Athletic Fund memberships may be required for new season ticket holders to have access to any available upper level seating.

THE GOLD PRIORITY AREA - SOLD OUT
Members of Director's Circle, Bruin Legends and Coaches Roundtable are eligible to purchase seats in the Gold Priority Area which is the premier seating area of Pauley Pavilion. Seating in the Gold Area includes all seats on the south side of the Pavilion on the middle and floor levels (Sections 103B-106A and 203B-206A), the middle level seats on the north side of the Pavilion (Sections 211B-214A) and the floor level seats on the east end (Sections 116A/B & 101A).

The number of Gold Priority Area seats that become available each season is extremely limited, and for that reason seating in the Gold Priority Area cannot be guaranteed to new donors. Members of the Coaches Roundtable are offered at most one pair of seats in the Gold Priority Area when available. If seating in the Gold Priority Area is unavailable, members will receive the best available seating in the Blue Priority Area. For the 2007-08 season, Coaches Roundtable members ($5,500 annual donation) were allocated one pair in the Floor or Middle Level behind the basket. Second pairs for donors at that level were located in the upper level.

For the 2007-08 season, all Gold Priority Area seats were SOLD OUT on a season basis. For the 2008-09 season, the renewal rate in these sections is expected to be close to 100%, leaving very little inventory for new or upgrading donors.

THE BLUE PRIORITY AREA - SOLD OUT
Members eligible to purchase Gold Priority Area seats along with members of Bruin All-American, Bruin Athletic Club-Sustaining and Bruin Athletic Club are eligible to purchase seats in the Blue Priority Area. Seating in the Blue Priority Area includes all remaining seats on the middle and floor levels (Sections 216A/B, 201A-203A, 206B-211A) not in the Gold Area or those not dedicated to students or UCLA Faculty/Staff. Seats on the south side of the Pavilion in the upper level (Sections 304A-305B) are also in the Blue Priority Area.

If seating in the Blue Priority Area is unavailable, members will receive the best available seating in the upper level, which is often in the corner sections of the East end of Pauley Pavilion. For the 2007-08 season, new donors at the Bruin All-American level ($3,500 annual donation) or lower were seated in the best available Upper Level locations, predominantly in the corner sections of the East End of Pauley Pavilion.

OTHER BASKETBALL SEATING

NCAA Basketball Tournament Tickets - Post-season NCAA basketball tickets are prioritized and allocated according to Wooden Athletic Fund membership level as well as cumulative giving to Athletics. Only individuals with basketball season tickets are eligible for post-season ticket purchase opportunities. The required Priority Level to obtain tickets is based on factors such as Round, Region and demand. UCLA receives very few tickets for the earlier rounds and can only accommodate ticket requests from Wooden Athletic Fund members at the highest levels. Please note that the location quality of the ticket allotment received from the NCAA differs from venue to venue with the majority of each allotment consisting of upper level locations. All NCAA Tournament tickets are distributed at Will Call at the venue site, and only the season ticket holder of record is allowed to pick up these tickets.

Basketball Away Games - We are unable to fulfill ticket requests for basketball away games. Throughout the Pac-10 conference, most home teams are now only allocating the Pac-10 required minimum number of tickets to its opponent. We are unable to offer any tickets for sale for our away games as our entire allotments will be used to accommodate ticket requests for our coaches and team.

Pac-10 Tournament - UCLA's allocation of Pac-10 Tournament tickets at Staples Center changes from year to year as assigned through the Pac-10 conference. The UCLA ticket allotment is allocated according to Wooden Athletic Fund priority level. Please note that in some years, we receive an extremely limited number of seats between the baskets.
