Your Guide to UCF Basketball Student Tickets

The UCF Knights are a force to be reckoned with, and as a student, you have the opportunity to be part of the action. As the Big 12 Conference’s flagship institution in the state of Florida, UCF is rising to the challenge of this new era. From landmark victories on state and national stages, UCF's athletic teams have become the youngest Power Four institution in the country. With 12 NCAA postseason team appearances across all sports and conference championship titles in men’s soccer, women’s tennis, and rowing, there's always something to cheer for. This article provides a comprehensive guide to student tickets for UCF basketball games, ensuring you don't miss out on any of the excitement.

The Allure of UCF Knights Athletics

From the first kickoff on a converted cow pasture to buzzer-beater shots, grand slams, and championship cheer routines, UCF Knights have been building momentum on the field and the court since their athletic debut. Whether underdogs or overwhelming favorites, the fans have been cheering them on every step of the way.

Being part of the action is an important part of the UCF experience - because we’re never as strong alone as we are together. Embrace the electric atmosphere with several official tailgating spots around campus - Memory Mall being the most iconic. Celebrate responsibly. Let’s pack the Acrisure Bounce House!

Game Day Experience

Tailgating before Knights football games is one of the most celebrated traditions at UCF. It offers a special time for reunions of family, friends, and alumni. UCF is pleased to host these gatherings and welcome all of our guests to campus. We expect all fans to celebrate responsibly and adhere to the rules while on campus.

Whether you’re attending your first Knights game or have been a longtime season ticket holder, there’s a lot to know about game day on campus. Protecting campus is the UCF Police Department’s top priority, so if you see activity that looks suspicious, say something.

Find out what to wear for specific games on social media.

Health and Safety Measures

All fans over the age of 2 will be required to wear a mask over the nose and mouth while in the arena and on-campus. Face coverings must be worn at all times except while actively eating or drinking in your seat, and you should be stationary and maintaining appropriate physical distancing.

The Spectra-managed Addition Financial Arena has installed nearly 400 COVID-19 health and safety measures to prepare for the venue’s reopening.

To prepare for its reopening with limited capacity, Addition Financial Arena has installed numerous sanitizer stations throughout the facility, hundreds of COVID-19 related signs and floor markings to promote physical distancing, protective plexiglass and additional physical barriers at all concession stands, and paperless loge/suite menus on the premium level. The arena has also gone completely mobile with event tickets.

Addition Financial Arena will remain vigilant with enforcing all health and safety guidelines put forth. Face coverings will be required upon entry into the facility and must be worn at all times except when actively eating and drinking in one’s own seat.

All food and beverage will be in closed-top boxes or individual packaging; condiments will be pre-packaged, and cutlery will be distributed with limited contact.
