Bruce Pearl's letter to Auburn fans
AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn is on pace to set a season-ticket record for men's basketball next season, coach Bruce Pearl said in a letter to fans Tuesday.
"Season tickets are already going fast for next season," Pearl said in an email sent to Auburn fans Tuesday morning. "We are on pace to set an Auburn Arena season ticket record. That news alone will help us change perceptions nationally."
Auburn is selling season tickets with prices ranging from $150 to $350 with a $50 deposit per seat. Auburn will allow fans to view and purchase available seats before the A-Day game Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The message comes following a big recruiting weekend for Pearl's coaching staff, which managed to gain a commitment from forward Cinmeon Bowers, the nation's top junior college player.
"We need you there at Auburn Arena this season as we create something truly special," Pearl also says in the letter. "There are some who believe it can't be done in men's basketball at Auburn. Together, let's prove them wrong."
