With the opening of the new on-campus arena, Bradley University will have the opportunity to host a wide range of sporting events and entertainment acts, and 500 fans will have the opportunity to secure the same reserved seats for the events of their choice throughout the 2010-11 academic year. Built on the same footprint as the former Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse on the west end of campus, the arena will seat approximately 4,200 fans for ticketed events, which will include all Bradley University volleyball and women's basketball home games, selected Braves men's basketball games, high school sporting events and concerts.
A maximum of 500 Personal Seat Options (PSO's) will be available in two price levels. Known as PSO Gold, approximately 50 cushioned, leather courtside seats will be available for the annual price of $1000 each. At an annual fee of $500 each, the additional PSO seats may be selected from the permanent seats surrounding the court in the main arena bowl.
Included with the PSO purchase are 2010 Bradley Volleyball season tickets ($50 value), as well as 2010-11 Bradley women's basketball season tickets ($75 value), both in the selected seat(s). PSO members will receive preferred status to purchase tickets in their seat(s) for all other events in the new arena, excluding commencement ceremonies, during a 12-month period from August 2010-July 2011.

Bradley Arena PSO Frequently Asked Questions
Does my PSO guarantee my seats for all events in the Bradley Arena?

PSO owners will be given preferred status to purchase tickets in their seats for all other ticketed events (not including commencement ceremonies) in the Bradley arena from August 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011. In the event a PSO owner's seat location(s) will not be utilized, the Bradley Ticket Office would appreciate notification so that the seat(s) may be made available to the general public.
How do I claim my PSO seats for events other than volleyball and women's basketball?
The Bradley Athletics Ticket Office will contact all PSO members via email with notification of upcoming events and deadlines to purchase tickets in PSO locations for those events. Any PSO seat locations unclaimed by the designated deadline will be made available to the general public.
