Alabama basketball is selling out more than Coleman Coliseum for the 2024-25 season.
On its hunt for a first-ever national championship, the Crimson Tide have not only sold out season tickets and single-game tickets for 12 out of 15 home games. Nate Oats and company are also set to play for a handful of full houses on the road.
Tickets for the team’s first away game at Purdue on Nov. 15 is sold out. So is the SEC/ACC challenge against North Carolina in Chapel Hill on Dec. 4. Alabama isn’t even listed on the single-game tickets tab of Texas A&M’s ticketing site.
It’s probably not a shock that there aren’t any tickets left for the regular season finale at Auburn on March 8, either.

“They have great tradition. So I don’t want to just assume because it’s us that they’re sold out,” Oats said.
Then, he remembered Alabama is ranked second in the country.
“I would think those basketball schools that want to see their teams play against high level teams would want to see a top five team come in and they play against them,” Oats explained, reminding that lofty rankings “don’t always correlate” with success come tip-off.
