UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State men’s basketball and THON have teamed up again as $10 of each student season ticket sold from Oct. 31-Nov. 7 benefits THON.

This is the second-straight year the Nittany Lions are giving back to THON and from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7, men’s basketball student season tickets will be on sale during the 100 Days of THON Celebration at the HUB on the University Park campus.

All student season tickets are conveniently sold online at gopsusports.com/mbbstudents and students from all Penn State campuses may purchase season tickets with $10 from each student season ticket sold going directly to THON.

Student season ticket holders enjoy several benefits, including early entry into the Bryce Jordan Center and free pre-game food buffets (while supplies last) at home games.

Special experiences and invitations to premier Nittany Lion men’s basketball events are available only to student season ticket holders in addition to special access to student pre-sales for non-basketball events, such as concerts and shows at the Bryce Jordan Center, when available, as a “Legion of Blue Insider.”

Student season tickets may be purchased with credit or debit cards. Student season tickets are placed on each students’ ID card to be swiped upon arrival at the Bryce Jordan Center. The student season ticket is not transferable and available only through 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7.

The official THON men’s basketball game will take place on Jan. 26, 2019.
