2023-2024 W-Club Basketball Tickets

Once again this season, W-Club tickets for men’s basketball games will be limited.

For men’s basketball, there will be NO single-game W-Club tickets available for members without a reservation. DO NOT come to EA. Di**le Arena expecting to get tickets by just showing your current membership card. You must have a reservation!

To obtain a reservation -- for a maximum of two (2) tickets per contest – contact Paul Just via email, text or phone ASAP. Tickets will be assigned on a per-game first-come-first-serve basis. Be sure I have confirmed your reservation before gameday. The earlier in the week you ask for reservations the better; but, please try to make your reservation no later than 4 pm on the day before each game.

Reservations must be made for one game at a time. I will do everything I can to see that as many members as possible have access to attend at least one game. Depending upon demand, you very well might be able to reserve a ticket(s) for more than on, or several, games during the season. However, priority for each game will be given to members who have not already seen a game as the season progresses. Last season a number of individuals were able to see multiple games; so, if you are interested in attending, please check with me.

And, if you have Hilltopper season tickets, please do not try to reserve additional W-Club tickets. The margin is very thin and we need to try and get as many members as possible access to games. If you have season tickets and want to ask for additionals from the W-Club allotment, your request will be considered based on the availability after other requests are honored.

With a confirmed reservation, you may claim your admission(s) at the Entrance-4 (PS-1 side of The Arena closest to University Blvd) when the gates open 90 minutes prior to tipoff.

For the women’s games, members may present their membership cards at Entrance-4 to claim a ticket and purchase additional tickets at a discounted price.

If you have not yet received your membership card, or it is lost, etc., remember that the W-Club will have an updated list of active members in the Ticket Office for use at Entrance-4.

The regular season home openers for both teams are this coming Monday (Nov. 6) – the Lady Toppers host Mercer at 5:00 p.m. and the Hilltoppers host Kentucky Wesleyan in the nightcap of the double-header at 7:30 p.m.

We want to thank the Athletic Department and the WKU Ticket Office for their continued assistance with ticketing for W-Club members.

Did you know that the W-Club is one of the oldest clubs at WKU and that it was founded by E.A. Di**le himself?

The mission of the W-Club is threefold:

- To provide letter awards for all current WKU student-athletes and eligible letterwinners

- To select and honor WKU Athletic Hall of Fame inductees and teams
