Grand Canyon men's basketball games are sold out for the upcoming 2021-22 season. GCU Arena will return to its full 7,000-seat capacity with a combination of student seat allotment and season-ticket sales.
Â
"The game experience last season was phenomenal," said Lopes head coach
Bryce Drew, who experienced a crowd no larger than 1,000 fans in his first season due to Covid-related attendance restrictions. "We can't wait to see the arena return to full capacity between the Havocs and our season-ticket holders."
Â
An eager student bodyÂ
purchased 3,500 Havocs Pro Passes in minutes for priority access to men's basketball games. Season-ticket sales reached record numbers to fill out the remainder of the arena's capacity.
Â
The Lopes are coming off their first conference championships and first trip to the NCAA tournament at the Division I level. When the Lopes were last in action at GCU Arena, they were cutting down the nets after clinching a share of the WAC regular-season title in the home finale. GCU played a dominant two-game stretch of basketball to win the WAC tournament and advance to March Madness.
Â
GCU Arena is expected to return to its 2018-19 attendance levels when it was the fullest venue in college basketball. An average crowd of 7,170 filed into the arena to put the venue at 102.4% capacity.
Â
Limited opportunities to attend a men's basketball game still remain. A select number of single-game tickets will be sold for standing room only, and single-game tickets may also be available for games where GCU students are on break.
Â
Fans not in the venue can follow all the action on FOX 10 Xtra (Ch. 45 / Cable 9), ESPN+ and 1580 The Fanatic (99.3 FM & 95.9 FM).
Â
A waitlist is already beginning to form for the 2022-23 season. Should season tickets become available next spring, names on the waitlist will be contacted in order of sign-up for any ticket sale opportunities.Â

Tickets for GCU students will be claimed on a game-by-game basis. Havocs Pro Pass holders will have 24-hour priority access to tickets for all games. Any unclaimed tickets will then be released to the remainder of the student body.
Â
Season-ticket holders can add women's basketball season tickets to their entire account for a flat rate of $20. Women's basketball season tickets areÂ
just $50 per seat for the general public.
Â
The men's season tips off on Oct. 30 as the Lopes host Western New Mexico at 6 p.m.
