5/15/2025 9:25:00 AM | Men's Basketball
The unique and convenient Seat Rights program provides Wake Forest fans the opportunity to guarantee their seat location on an annual basis!
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Led by head coach Steve Forbes and fueled by Deacon Nation, Wake Forest men's basketball has built one of college basketball's toughest home environments, going 61-10 at LJVM Coliseum since 2021—tied nationally for the fourth-most home wins over that period. And, in the continued effort to provide a World Class Student-Athlete Experience, the Best Fan Experience in North Carolina and bringing Value to Wake Forest, Winston-Salem and the Triad Communities, Wake Forest Athletics is offering seat rights options again for men's basketball season ticket holders for the 2025-26 season.
Fans who participate in the Annual Seat Rights Program have the ability to lock in their seating location on an annual basis, rather than having their seats reassigned each season. Annual Seat Rights provides fans more flexibility and the assurance that fans can renew their existing seat location, or receive first priority to upgrade into the best seating options available, ahead of each men's basketball season.
Fans who choose to participate in Annual Seat Rights will see the additional per-seat fee added to their season ticket cost. Meanwhile, fans not participating in the Annual Seat Rights Program will select, in order of Deacon Club membership level and overall donor ranking within membership level, from available seats following the conclusion of the seating period for program participants.
Annual Seat Rights Program Overview
The Annual Seat Rights Program gives fans the ability to lock in their same seats on an annual basis as attendance and demand for Wake Forest men's basketball continues to rise. Wake Forest men's basketball averaged 9,564 fans per game in the 2024-25 season – the highest attendance at LJVM since the 2010-2011 season. The Deacs also welcomed 153,029 fans over the 16-game home schedule, including the highest number of season tickets sold since 2018-19.
This peace-of-mind initiative enables season ticket holders to keep their same preferred seat location adjacent to Deacon friends and family on an annual basis. Additionally for ease of purchase, payment plans or up-front purchases are available for all fans who opt-in to the program.
Season ticket holders who participate in this program have the ability to lock in their selected seats on a year-by-year basis, or can secure a longer term up-front option of five years at a 20 percent annual discount and retain their seat location through the 2029-30 season.

In 2024-25, the Demon Deacons earned 21 victories and the program's first-ever double bye in the ACC Tournament. With 13 ACC victories – tied for the most in a single season in school history and the second time in four seasons the Deacs have hit that mark – Wake Forest earned its highest regular season finish since the 2008-09 campaign.
Wake Forest matched the school record for road ACC victories with six and became the only ACC program to sweep the West Coast swing with victories at Stanford and Cal. Additionally, the Deacs set a new program record for ACC victories over a four-year span with 47 since the beginning of the 2021-22 campaign.

The 2025-26 squad features talented returners in Tre'Von Spillers, Juke Harris, Omaha Biliew and Marqus Marion along with a strong group of incoming transfers and freshmen.
