2025-26 Season Ticket Information
Bulldogs,
As March comes to a close, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your unwavering support—whether as a season ticket holder, Bulldog Club donor, or loyal fan cheering us on at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Your passion fuels us, and we are excited to carry that energy into postseason play.
While we celebrate these postseason opportunities for our basketball teams, we want to be clear: our goal and expectation continues to be nothing short of competing at the highest levels of college basketball—consistently making NCAA Tournament appearances and building on our proud tradition.
We know that the landscape of college athletics has never been more uncertain, and the level of investment required to compete at the highest level is rising. It’s important that you know that Butler University leadership at all levels – President Danko, the Board of Trustees, athletics leadership – is aligned and committed to investing at a level that will be competitive with our BIG EAST peers and the top tier of programs nationally. And while basketball is a priority, we will continue to support a broad-based athletics program that provides a transformative experience for all of our 500+ student-athletes.
To do so, Butler Athletics will continue to aggressively pursue enhanced revenue streams to support our teams and student-athletes. Earlier this month, we announced a new partnership with Playfly Sports which will amplify our brand visibility and drive new revenue. We are investing in fan gameday enhancements to elevate the already-great Hinkle Fieldhouse experience to the top of college basketball. An improved ticket sales strategy will reach new audiences to expand our fanbase. And fundraising success will continue through the new Butler Way Society, the exclusive philanthropic giving society for Butler Athletics, which is led by more than 60 families committing over $8.4 million in financial support for Butler Athletics.
Butler Basketball’s historical success was built with defense. Now, it’s time for us to play offense. Our plan is aggressive, strategic, and focused on ensuring our teams compete consistently at the highest level. We promise to do our part, and we also need the continued and deepened support from Butler Nation to achieve our goals.
Season ticket information will hit your inboxes later this week, and we hope you’ll make plans to join us in Hinkle for what promises to be an exciting 2025-26 season. As always, we are thankful and excited for you to play an active role in helping us win, The Butler Way.
Go Dawgs!

Butler Vice President and Director of Athletics
