UC San Diego has opened single-game ticket sales for both basketball programs, putting a public price on 2026-27 home inventory before the Tritons begin their final Big West season. Men's reserved seats start at $17 for eligible youth, seniors, faculty and staff. Women's general admission starts at $12 for the same groups.

The men's structure has three published levels: $35 for premium reserved, $22 for an adult reserved seat and $17 for the discounted categories. Courtside seats require a separate inquiry to the Triton Athletic Fund, so UCSD did not post a comparable public price for that inventory. The men's team has 17 home games, including an Oct. 17 exhibition against USC during Family Weekend.

Women's tickets are simpler. Floor seats cost $30, adult general admission is $15 and youth, senior, faculty and staff admission is $12. The release does not describe opponent-based variable pricing, service charges or the number of seats available at each level. Buyers need the ticketing checkout to see a particular game's remaining locations and final transaction total.

Season packages remain on sale in premium reserved, reserved and general-admission areas. UCSD says season-ticket holders receive preferred seating for all home games and priority access to buy tickets for conference and national postseason events involving the Tritons. Priority is an option to purchase, not an included postseason ticket or a guarantee that the team will qualify.

The sales pitch has recent results behind it. The UCSD women reached March Madness in each of their first two seasons of Division I eligibility, becoming the second program to do so. The men won 23 games last season. Those records can support demand, but Tuesday's announcement supplied prices rather than sales counts, renewal rates or a forecast for sellouts.

For a household comparing options, the listed entry difference is small in dollars but not identical in seating. Two discounted men's reserved seats list at $34 before any checkout charges; two discounted women's general-admission tickets list at $24. Adult pairs list at $44 for men's reserved and $30 for women's general admission. Floor and premium products trade a higher price for a defined seating tier.

The 17-game men's home slate also affects the season-package calculation, though UCSD did not publish package prices in the release. A buyer comparing single games with a full plan needs to account for attendance likelihood, preferred location and postseason priority rather than simply multiplying one ticket price by 17. The same decision applies to the women's plan once its home count and desired seating category are matched.

UCSD also accepts orders by phone, which matters for courtside inquiries and buyers who need help distinguishing seating areas. The box office line is 858-534-1430, and the department lists triton-tix@ucsd.edu for questions. Those channels do not change the posted base prices, but they provide a route to clarify accessible seating, inventory and package terms before payment.

Tickets are available through the Triton Box Office online or by phone at 858-534-1430. The sales opening transfers the next constraint from the department to buyers: which dates and seat categories are worth securing early. The Oct. 17 USC exhibition provides the first high-visibility inventory test, while the full season will show whether consecutive postseason appearances and a 23-win men's year convert into sustained LionTree Arena demand.
