IONA SEAT PREMIUMS (ISPs)

$1,500 for Chairback Seats
$2,500 for Courtside Seats

Chairback and Courtside season tickets are required to pay an Iona Seat Premium (ISP), regardless of the number of seats, in addition to the per-seat ticket price.

New in 2026-27: ISP costs will now be based on the section in which the ticket is located and no longer based on the quantity of seats. The Iona Seat Premium is a required contribution to Iona University Athletics that provides access to purchase season tickets in premium sections of the Hynes Center; all ISP funds go directly to support Iona's basketball programs.
