Current Men's Basketball Season Ticket Holders

Key Points for Current Men’s Basketball Season Ticket Holders:
  1. Season tickets holders who submit their men’s basketball season tickets and applicable contributions by the July 22nd deadline for men’s basketball will be automatically assigned a personalized selection date & time for Badger Select.

  2. Personalized selection dates & times are assigned on Badger Select Rank: 2026 Annual Giving Level and Badger Select priority points as of December 31st, 2017 plus 2018–2026 priority points accrued from non-deductible donations, and years of purchase for non-donor season ticket holders; which will run August 13 – August 21. You then can choose to log in during that time, or any time after until the end of the process to view available seats at the Kohl Center. For 2026, Badger Select Rank is first based on 2026 Annual Giving level, and then by Badger Select priority point total within each giving level as of December 31st, 2017 plus 2018–2026 priority points accrued from non-deductible donations.

  3. During Badger Select, as a current season ticket holder, you have the ability to purchase additional seats or swap your current seats for other available seats. You also have the ability to purchase parking based on your qualifying gift amount.

Badger Select is an optional benefit. If you don't want to move your season tickets or purchase season parking, order your season tickets by March 13.

Importance of Badger Select Rank

Your Badger Select Rank will determine your priority in the Badger Select process. The higher your Badger Select Rank, the earlier your selection date and time will be in Badger Select, which may increase the pool of quality seats to choose from.

Badger Select Rank is based on 2026 Annual Giving Level and Badger Select priority points. Badger Select priority points include: points as of December 31st, 2017 plus 2018–2026 priority points accrued from non-deductible donations. Non-deductible donations include those associated with priority seating and Badger Select seating contributions.

For Badger Select Rank, 100% deductible donations made in 2018–2026 will NOT be allocated towards Badger Select priority points. 100% deductible gifts include those to sport specific funds.
