2025-26 Men’s Basketball Reseat
As was communicated last October, all season ticket holders will be reseated and reparked for the 2025-26 men's basketball season. This process will allow fans to choose the seating location they desire inside the Petersen Events Center and the location of their season parking pass. In order to ensure an equitable process, all 2024-25 men’s basketball season ticket holders and fans who purchase new 2025-26 men's basketball season tickets prior to May 31 will have the opportunity to select their seats and parking. The reseat will also provide fans the opportunity to upgrade their seats and parking, if available, to other locations inside and around the Petersen Events Center. The order of selection for this process will be determined by your Panther Club Giving Level and then Priority Points within that level. Please reach out to your account representative or the Panther Club directly for information regarding your giving level and points. Our ultimate goal is to provide an equitable, transparent process and excellent customer service for our season ticket holders and fans.
Those purchasing new season tickets for the 2025-26 season will initially be charged the minimum season ticket price of $265 (Upper Baseline). After doing so, you will automatically be included in the reseat and repark process happening in June. If you select seats in a different area of the arena during that process, you will be required to pay the difference in ticket cost and the required scholarship seating membership.

The Scholarship Seating Membership (SSM) Fee directly supports over 500 student-athletes through the Panther Club Scholarship Fund. While these costs are not tax deductible, they do count toward your Panther Club Giving Level and Priority Points. This cost must be paid at the time of purchase and payment plans are available.
Accounts may select up to eight (8) tickets in the lower, or up to the amount of tickets that they had in their accounts for the 2024-25 season, whichever number is greater. If an account has not had premium seating prior to this season and wishes to select premium seating they may select two (2) seats per price level. For example, two (2) First Row Courtside seats and two (2) Second Row Courtside seats. Accounts with premium seating in the previous seasons may select up to the same number of seats they had in the previous season.
One parking pass may be purchased for every two (2) season tickets.
You must be an active Panther Club member in order for your priority points to be considered in the reseat/repark ranking order.

What is the Panther Club?
The Panther Club is the official fundraising arm for the University of Pittsburgh Athletics Department. Our mission is to provide critical resources for scholarships, capital projects and 19 individual sport needs. Our goal is to create the very best experience for current and future Pitt student-athletes and champions. More information can be found at the Panther Club website.
Why are we doing a reseat/repark?
Our last reseat of the arena was more than five years ago. As was communicated during the last reseat, Pitt Athletics expects to reseat for men's basketball every three to five years.
What sections of the arena are going to be a part of this reseat?
The entire arena and all sections will be part of the reseat process. This includes both general and premium seating (Club, Champions Club, Platinum Club, Courtside Club, VIP Courtside).
When will the repark selection process begin?
June 17, 2025
What is the advantage of being a season ticket holder for the 2024-25 season?
All season tickets holders for the 2024-25 season will be among the first groups to select their seats and parking during the reseat/repark. Your appointment time will be determined by your giving level and then your priority points within the giving level. Please reference the section above titled Reseat Order for more information.
I'm not a current 2024-25 season ticket holder, but I want to become one for the 2025-26 season. What does the reseat process look like for me?
New season tickets for the 2025-26 season will go on sale in March. As a new season ticket holder, you will be initially charged the minimum season ticket price of $265 per ticket* (this is the cost of a ticket for the Upper Baseline, the lowest-priced seating in the Petersen Events Center). Once your payment is processed, you will be sorted into the reseat/repark process, which is based on your Panther Club Giving Level and Priority Points. If you choose seats in a different area of the arena, you will be asked to pay the difference in ticket cost. *Does not include scholarship seating members.
What is the deadline for making a Panther Club donation to affect my ranking in the reseat/ process?
April 1, 2025. All donations received on or before this date will be factored into your giving level and priority point total, which may improve your ranking within your giving level and selection time. No adjustments will be made after this deadline.
How can I make a donation to the Panther Club?
Panther Club contributions can be made by calling 412-648-8889 or visiting pittsburghpanthers.com/donate.
Can I increase the number of seats and/or parking passes I previously purchased for the prior season? If so, what is the timing to do this?
Please see seating limits section above
What if I miss my appointment time?
The assigned reseat/repark window reflects the earliest time a customer may log-in to select their seating and parking. Those who miss their scheduled appointment time may log-in to select their seats and parking at any time after their appointment time has started. However, the longer you delay your selection the more inventory that could be taken by others before your selection is made. The selection process will end once all account holders have had the opportunity to successfully allocate available tickets and parking in their account.
What is the maximum number of parking spaces I can purchase?
Season ticket holders can select one (1) parking pass for every two (2) season tickets purchased.
Can I keep the same parking lot I had last season?
We cannot guarantee that your same lot will be available. All accounts who purchased 2024-25 men's basketball season tickets and season parking will be included in this repark selection process. Season Ticket Holders will select parking based on your giving level and then your priority points within the giving level as of April 1, 2025.
I already pay a Scholarship Membership fee with my season tickets. Do I need to pay another Scholarship Membership fee with my parking pass?
Yes, fans are responsible for paying the Scholarship Parking Membership fee associated with their parking spaces.
I was assigned accessible parking last year. Do I need to submit a handicap placard again this year?
Yes. Season ticket holders in need of accessible parking on a season basis are required to provide proof of need annually for accessible parking (for example, a copy of a state issued placard). Please contact the Panthers Ticket Office at 800-643-PITT regarding accessible parking.
What do I need to do in order to pick my seats with a group of friends?
There is not an option to average your points with a group. We encourage all Pitt fans who wish to sit next to each other to communicate with each other prior to your time slot so you can try to choose the same section/seats (subject to availability). Fans who wish to sit in the same section with other season ticket holders can wait until everyone in their group has an open time slot and choose the best available seating at that time.
Can I transfer my season tickets/parking pass from my account to a friend?
The account holder of season tickets/parking passes cannot transfer their ability to select seats/parking from their account to another prior to the reseat/repark. Once individual account holders select their seating/parking option for the upcoming season, they may continue to utilize Pitt Athletics' mobile ticket and parking platform to transfer individual tickets/parking passes throughout the season.
Will matching gifts count towards my seat selection priority points?
Matching gifts will factor into your overall priority point total ahead of the reseat/repark and the matching funds will earn the same amount of points as a donation of that amount would accrue. However, due to the tax law change in 2017, Scholarship Seating & Parking membership payments are not eligible to be matched, and there is not a matching gift opportunity for any donation associated with season tickets or parking.
Is there an option to select my seats/parking if I do not own a computer?
Many libraries have free computer access and family members or friends can also assist with the process. The Athletics Ticket Office will also provide assistance during the selection process.
