For the second consecutive season, South Carolina has sold out its allotment of season tickets. 

South Carolina does not reveal the exact number of season tickets sold, but only single-game tickets remain. Those go on sale the week of October 6.

South Carolina averaged a program record 16,437 last season and had a record seven sellouts. It surpassed the previous records of 16,067 and five sellouts set during the 2023-24 season.

South Carolina has led the country in average attendance for the past 11 seasons, tying the record set by Tennessee from 2004 to 2014. 

Not only is South Carolina hoping to break Tennessee’s consecutive seasons record, but the Gamecocks are also chasing Tennessee’s single-season record.

Tennessee set the single-season attendance record in 1999, averaging 16,565. South Carolina was ahead of that pace going into last season’s NCAA tournament, but crowds of 11,683 and 12,322 for the first two rounds dropped South Carolina to second all-time for average attendance.

The Gamecocks have the NCAA’s top three seasons for total attendance. They had 279,423 last season, 273,133 in 2024, and 244,196 in 2016. They played 17 home games in each of those seasons, but should play 18 home games this season (including two postseason games).

Before the NCAA Tournament, South Carolina’s smallest home crowd of last season was 15,154 against Charleston Southern on December 19. 

As a regular-season game, that figure counted season tickets sold, not necessarily the actual attendance. Based on the eye test, the actual attendance was much lower, but that gives an idea of how many season tickets were sold.

South Carolina hosts Anderson for an exhibition game on October 24. The regular season begins on November 3 against Grand Canyon, the first of three consecutive home games to start the season.
