Stillman College Director of Athletics Terrance Whittle said tickets for women’s volleyball, single basketball games, baseball, and softball events will be priced at $10 for general admission.

He then said K-12 students can attend for $5, while children under 5 will be admitted free of charge, excluding Homecoming events.

What's more, general admission for basketball doubleheaders will cost $20, with Homecoming tickets to be announced later.

Stillman College says the new ticketing system was developed in collaboration with HomeTown Ticketing and will allow fans to select their specific seats in Birthright Alumni Hall.

General admission seating will be located in sections D-F on the gym's south end, while sections A-B will be reserved for Stillman College students and Section C designated for Will Call.

Stillman College will also offer additional seating options for basketball games such as chairback seats at $50 each (134 available), courtside seats at $75 each (10 available), and baseline seats under the east scoreboard for $65 each (five available). Each courtside and baseline seat comes with a concession stand voucher for one combo meal.

"We are excited to introduce the new Birthright Alumni Hall seating map and special seating opportunities for the upcoming basketball season," Whittle said. "The designated creation of the student section, along with the additions of paid chairback, courtside, and baseline seating will enhance the atmosphere for home events this upcoming season."

Stillman is also offering season tickets and passes for the following prices:

• Volleyball: $65 plus fees (eight matches)

Along with changes to its tickets, Stillman also said it will introduce a clear bag policy for all Stillman College Athletics home events, beginning with the Sept. 5 women's volleyball home opener.

"Stillman College appreciates everyone's cooperation as we improve our game day operations. We believe the clear bag policy will enhance security measures already in place by our institution and help provide faster entry for fans," Whittle said.

The school then said the following bags are permitted:

• Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12"
• One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags (Ziploc bag or similar)
• Small clutch bags, with or without a handle or strap, that do not exceed 4.5" x 6.5" (approximately the size of a hand).
• An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection.
