How to Purchase Tickets
The Los Angeles Illini Club has reserved seats for both games at a GROUP RATE! This is the first time in many years that we have been able to watch Illini Basketball in Southern California. The #14 ranked Illini just beat the #11 ranked Texas Tech team. UCLA is ranked #15, and that game will quickly sell out when tickets go on sale Thursday, October 13.
How to Get Started
The Los Angeles Illini Club has created an easy form to reserve seats in an Illini Block for both games. All Illini fans can participate from Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County and elsewhere. Just click HERE to get started! This form will go directly to the LA ILLINI Club to make the ticket purchase this coming Monday, and everything must be completed no later than Sunday.
Notes about the Form
The Los Angeles Club has made the form easy to understand. There are two options for each game; More expensive seats in the lower level of the venue, and cheaper seats in the balcony. A really great feature is that, if you click on the court image next to ticket, you can see the approximate view of the court from those seats. Note that the expensive seats in the lower level at UCLA are in the corner above the portal where we believe the team will enter and exit the court. Please select the Club that you identify with for seat assignments.
How to PAY
The LA Illini Club has two options for paying that add nothing to the base ticket cost. Both the Venmo & Zelle options require that you have these applications set up with your banking institutions. If you are not able to utilize either of these payment options, our San Diego Club is providing a third option for your convenience. After completing the form, you will then be able to process payment through our San Diego Illini Club website. The price is higher because of the costs we will incur including credit card fees. Click here to purchase tickets with added fee.
Transportation to Basketball games in Los Angeles
If you purchase tickets to watch Illini Basketball at either USC or UCLA, our San Diego Illini Club will attempt to arrange transportation to the events. Depending on number of tickets purchased we will investigate a chartered bus, carpooling, and other options that might be available at a reasonable cost. If you would like to possibly utilize a group option, please Click here to indicate your interest. You DO NOT have to purchase tickets through our Club to participate in transportation options.
