NC State Men's Basketball

2026-2027 Men's Basketball

Across the country and here in Raleigh, college basketball continues to evolve, and the demand for a premier game-day experience has never been higher. NC State Men’s Basketball remains one of the flagship programs in college athletics, earning national recognition, postseason appearances, and consistently ranking among top programs in attendance, energy, and passion. 

NC State Athletics and the Wolfpack Club are committed to creating the best possible home court advantage in the country. To ensure our program continues to compete at the highest level in today’s rapidly changing college athletics landscape, we need Wolfpack Nation to continue elevating its support. 

We are working hard every day to explore opportunities to increase revenue in this new landscape without relying solely on our fanbase. We continue to explore all revenue streams, including retail, apparel and multimedia rights partnerships, naming rights at Carter-Finley and other spaces, as well as outside rentals. As part of our plan, we are introducing the PACK FORWARD campaign to Men’s Basketball. PACK FORWARD takes a fresh, future-focused approach to tickets, parking, and annual donations at NC State. Across multiple sports, including Men’s Basketball, we aim to bring our pricing and donation models more in line with those of the other Power 4 conferences while still providing valuable options for all fans.

This model was intentionally designed to ensure that supporters across a wide range of situations can contribute to experiencing NC State Men’s Basketball while positioning our program to remain nationally competitive for years to come. Let’s continue to PACK Lenovo and PACK FORWARD together.

2026-2027 Season Ticket Information

Starting with the 2026-27 season, fans will see an update to season ticket options. Full priced season tickets will start at $400 per seat. Like Football, Women's Basketball and Baseball, season tickets will include a required seat donation (RSD), ranging from $0 to $250 depending on the section selected.  

Season ticket options have been updated, to pair with a refreshed look and feel inside Lenovo Center. Redesigned sections around the building, new seats and state of the art enhancements will continue to make Lenovo Center a formidable home court advantage for the Wolfpack!

Men's Basketball season ticket account holders will continue to have the ability to select their own seat locations. Like Football and Women's Basketball, all annual season ticket holders will be given a timeslot in the spring to pick their exact seat locations from the available options. Lifetime Rights and other active multi-year seat contracts will retain their seat locations for the duration of their contract.  Priority Rank order will determine seat selection order, as it has in the past.  

Being an active Wolfpack Club donor and making annual contributions to the Scholarship Fund will set your priority rank. Only active Wolfpack Club members will be given the opportunity to select season ticket seats. Non-WPC donors can request season tickets, and orders may be fulfilled after all active donors have selected, if seats remain.
Any new season tickets will be made on requests only, until the May 1st priority deadline.
Limited reserved season parking passes may be requested for $150 per pass. Parking passes will be fulfilled on priority rank order after the May 1 priority deadline. Below is a list of different season ticket groups and how Pack Forward will impact each group:
Annual Season Tickets: Any season ticket that is not linked to a seating rights contract (Lifetime Rights, multi-year seating rights agreement) with the Wolfpack Club or Athletics Department, is considered an annual season ticket. This may include, but not limited to, youth, senior, Varsity Club, faculty/staff and retirees.  Annual season tickets will pay the advertised season ticket price as well as full required seat donation (RSD) per ticket for the price in the section you select. Once you make your seat selection for the 2026-27 season, you will be able to renew your seating location for the 2027-28 and 2028-29 renewal cycles as long as you renew by the deadline. Please note that the 2029-2030 season is a reselection year and you will need to request your season seats based upon your Wolfpack Club Priority Rank.
Lifetime Rights & Multi-Year Rights Season Tickets: As a Lifetime Rights (LTR) season ticket holder, your season tickets will be minimally impacted during the terms of the contract. You will continue to pay the ticket price listed for your section, but you will not have to pay the required seat donation (RSD) or go through the reseating process each season. You will maintain your ticket location as long as you renew on time each year and maintain your required annual fund gift tied to your seating rights. If you purchase any additional annual season tickets, you will be required to pay the RSD and go through the seat selection process for those seats.

*Please note that with the building renovations ongoing, there will be a complete reseating process ahead of the 2026-27 season, which could affect your seat rights locations. We will be in contact with you, and all accounts about seating priority and requests moving forward.  

Note: Multi-year agreements that were extended on a single year extension, will be considered expired at the end of the current season, and revert to annual season ticket renewals moving forward.

If you purchase any additional annual season tickets, you will be required to pay the RSD and go through the seat selection process.
Faculty & Staff: As a Faculty and Staff season ticket holder, you will continue to maintain a 20% discount off of the ticket price for up to 4 season tickets. Annual season tickets will pay the full required seat donation (RSD) per ticket for the price in the section you select.

Note: Any faculty, staff, or retiree with a formal, written Lifetime Rights contract will follow the LTR rules listed in the terms of their agreement.  

Once you make your seat selection for the 2026-27 season, you will be able to renew your seat location for the next two seasons, as long as you renew by the deadline. *Please note that with the building renovations ongoing, there will be a complete reseating process ahead of the 2026-27 season, which could affect your seat rights locations. We will be in contact with you, and all accounts about seating priority and requests moving forward.

Wolfpack Club Annual Giving Information

The Wolfpack Club Annual Scholarship Fund continues to remain a vital part of supporting NC State student-athletes. Making regular contributions towards annual scholarships and other philanthropic efforts not only improve our facilities and impact our student-athletes, but builds your priority rank, to secure better seat locations and parking spots on gameday.  Now, more than ever, the financial support from Wolfpack Nation will continue to push our programs forward.  

When it comes to Men's Basketball, building priority rank is crucial to ensuring you have your seats to all of the home games! As it has been in previous seasons, Annual Season Tickets are made on request, and orders are fulfilled in rank order. Starting with the 2026-27 season, Annual season ticket holders will now select their own seats, in priority rank order. Fans who infrequently give, or choose not to make donations at all, can request season tickets, however run the risk of not having their order fulfilled.  2024 was the first time in the history of the program, that inactive members were denied season ticket requests, due to unprecedented demand!

In order to help with demand, the number of annual season tickets able to be requested and purchased will be limited to four (4) season ticket seats per account. Wolfpack Club members donating at the Red/White Circle or higher can request additional annual seats, based on availability.  Check with the Wolfpack Club or Athletics Ticket Office if you have questions about the number of annual seats you are able to request.
