The 2011–2012 school year has begun at Illinois State, and that means Redbird men’s and women’s basketball action on Doug Collins Court at Redbird Arena is fast approaching. ISU Athletics has already begun taking online season ticket renewals for both teams, along with new season ticket orders.

The renewal deadline for season tickets to ISU men’s basketball is September 2. Patrons who renew their season tickets online at GoRedbirds.com will be eligible to win $200, with the winner of the renewal prize announced on September 6.

For Redbird women’s basketball, the renewal deadline is scheduled for September 9. The winner of the online renewal prize of $200 will be announced on September 12.

In order to qualify for the drawing, all season tickets must be purchased at GoRedbirds.com. Single-game tickets for both basketball programs will go on sale at 9 a.m. on October 24.
