George Washington University departments, schools and organizations are being provided a special presale period to purchase tickets for a highly anticipated Nov. 16 men’s basketball game between GW and the University of Virginia.
Tip-off Marathon
GW vs. Virginia
When: Monday, Nov. 16, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Charles E. Smith Center
Tickets: GW Athletics Ticket Office
TV: ESPN2
The timeframe, announced and beginning Wednesday, will end at 5 p.m. Sept. 30. Ticket prices will range from $40-$100. Seat locations will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis, according to the Department of Athletics and Recreation. Tickets may be purchased through the GW Athletics Ticket Office by contacting Sean Phelan, director of ticket sales, at 202-994-4912 or sphelan
gwu [dot] edu (sphelan[at]gwu[dot]edu).
Departmental transactions may be made by P-Card or journal entry at the time of purchase. All sales are final, and no refunds will be issued.
The game begins at 7:30 p.m. as the opener of ESPN’s annual Tip-Off Marathon. It is an anticipated sellout, and the Department of Athletics and Recreation recommends purchasing tickets during the internal presale period.
The Colonials, who finished 22-13 last season and reached the second round of the National Invitation Tournament, are seeking their third straight 20-win season under fifth-year head coach Mike Lonergan. GW is 26-3 at home the last two seasons. Virginia is coming off back-to-back 30-win seasons and NCAA tournament berths under head coach Tony Bennett.
