Farmville, VA—Since the February 6th announcement of season ticket opportunities for the inaugural men's and women's basketball seasons in the Joan Perry Brock Center, Lancer fans have made it clear they are ready to show up and show out to cheer those teams on to victory.

Response to the Season Ticket Interest Form has been overwhelmingly positive, with opportunities for current and new season ticket holders to cheer together in JPB, Longwood's new convocation and events center slated to open this summer.

To best accommodate both new and existing season ticket holders, we have made some changes to our original plan to ensure we are creating a fan-centered experience on basketball game days inside the Joan Perry Brock Center.

What has not changed is that season tickets in JPB are still just $100 per seat. A $100 season ticket secures your reserved seat for ALL men's and women's home basketball games during the 2023-2024 season.

In addition to the outright purchase of season tickets, fans may also become season ticket holders through the selection of philanthropic packages. Selecting a package will provide you with reserved seats for every home game, upgrades to your game day experience like reserved parking and hospitality gatherings, and your purchase will directly impact Longwood's student-athletes.

A ONE-OF-A-KIND EXPERIENCE
The Joan Perry Brock Center is a one-of-a-kind college basketball venue. There was no cookie-cutter approach to its design or construction. We also know that there is no cookie-cutter approach to how Lancer fans might want to experience a game day in JPB. For those season ticket holders who wish to customize and enhance their game day experience, there will be opportunities to do that through contributions to the Student-Athlete Excellence Fund. The experience upgrades below are available to a limited number of fans, so get yours while supplies last!

JUST THE RIGHT PARKING SPOT
Parking at any sporting event is one of the first questions that comes to mind when you are planning your trip. While there are several public parking areas that can be utilized on game day, some fans may choose to take the stress of parking out of the equation. Premium parking will be available in the Brock Commons Garage, offering the most convenient access to JPB. Premium parking holders will have access from Redford Street into the garage with a guaranteed space, an elevator up to Brock Commons, and easy entry directly into JPB.

In an effort to accommodate as many Lancer fans as possible, an additional reserved parking lot will be made available within the season ticket packages and upgrade opportunities. After spots available in the Brock Commons Garage have been exhausted, those who purchase season ticket packages will have access to an additional lot in close proximity to JPB.

GAME DAY HOSPITALITY
Basketball games are social gatherings, opportunities to build community and bring Lancers from near and far together for a common goal. Some fans arrive laser-focused on the action on the court, but we also have many fans who will want to reconnect with classmates, celebrate our teams, and be a part of the Lancer basketball community.

To best accommodate our fans who want a social pregame experience on game days, we are introducing two hospitality spaces:

• Club 64: Club 64 will be a premium game day hospitality experience within JPB. This will be an exclusive lounge to enjoy pregame fellowship with Lancer fans, complimentary food, a cash bar serving craft beers, wines and select spirits, and scouting reports from Longwood coaches on that night's opponent. Entry to this space will be by invitation only and open to men's and women's basketball philanthropic investors who are involved in one of the following: Built to Win Partners, Better Together Partners, the Joan Perry Brock Center construction project partners, as well as fans purchasing the JPB Inaugural Season Package (and the JPB Inaugural Season Package with Courtside Upgrade), while space is available. (Fans who purchase the JPB Inaugural Season Package after there is no availability remaining in Club 64 will be notified and offered hospitality access to Champions Club). Club 64 will be for Lancer fans aged 21+ and will be open for most home games, with a full schedule provided at the start of the season.
• Champions Club: Champions Club will be located in the Lee Grand Ballroom inside of Dorrill Dining Hall, located just steps away from the entrance to JPB. Champions Club will offer complimentary food, a cash bar, and a festive atmosphere! Entry to this space will be by invitation only and open to season ticket holders who purchase the Fans First Package and Courtside Premium Package, or those who add a Champions Club Season Pass to their purchase. There is limited availability. Champions Club is family-friendly and will be open on select dates, with an emphasis on weekend home games and other special game dates. A full schedule will be provided at the start of the season. 

BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE!
With nearly 1,200 fully-cushioned, reserved seats in the lower bowl, each one with a terrific sight line to the court, what more could you ask for? Well, what about being as close to the action as possible? We know some fans want to experience Division I basketball games where they can be right in the mix, reveling in the suspense of whether or not a basketball player will come crashing into their seats to save a loose ball. If this sounds like you, then JPB's courtside premium seats are your ticket to the action!

JPB courtside seating is in high demand and is extremely limited. Therefore, courtside seating will be available only via the Courtside Premium Package and the JPB Inaugural Season Package - Courtside and will not be available as an a la carte option. Longwood staff will work with courtside season ticket holders to identify a specific seat location at a time during or before Seat Selection Day in late August.
