Bronx, N.Y. -
Season and individual game tickets for the 2011-12 Fordham University men's basketball season are now on sale! Order your tickets on-line by clicking here or call the ticket office at 855-RAM-TIXS or 718-817-4759.
The 2011-12 Fordham University men's basketball schedule features 15 home games in the Rose Hill Gym, including one with Georgia Tech from the Atlantic Coast Conference, and a meeting with St. John's University at Madison Square Garden. Tickets for the St. John's game will be available at a later date when they become available from Madison Square Garden.
Georgia Tech comes calling to the Rose Hill Gym on Thursday, December 29th, the third all-time meeting between the Rams and the Yellow Jackets. It will mark the first time an ACC team has visited the historic venue since North Carolina State played there on December 17, 1965 (Boston College played in the Rose Hill Gym in 1980 as a member of the Big East while Virginia Tech played there in 2000 as a member of the Atlantic 10).
This winter, the Rams will play their 86th season in the Rose Hill Gym, a facility that opened on January 16, 1925 when the Rams hosted Boston College in a game officiated by the Fordham Flash, Frankie Frisch. Over the past 85 years, Fordham has compiled a 584-323 (.644) record in its tradition-rich home venue.
Nine of Fordham's 2011-12 opponents saw postseason action last year with four teams appearing in the NCAA Tournament: Richmond (a Sweet 16 team last year), Xavier, Temple and St. John's.
Once again, Fordham University Athletics will utilize a new technology this year for basketball tickets. This technology will allow the Rams to use scanners and digital tickets which will help shorten lines at the gate and allow fans to print tickets from home.
In partnership with TicketReturnTM, a leading developer of integrated Box Office and Internet ticketing services, Fordham will use scanners at the entrance to the Rose Hill Gym.
Ram fans that purchase single-game tickets through the Fordham web site at www.FordhamSports.com will be able to print those tickets at home and bring them to the game where they will be scanned.
As part of the new service, season tickets holders will be given the opportunity to acquire a Season Ticket card (similar to a credit card) that can be scanned to gain access to home events. Season ticket holders may also opt to receive printed tickets for the season. Whichever system is used, if a season ticket holder is unable to attend a game they will be able to transfer the tickets to another person who can then print the tickets online.

The Rams open the 2011-12 season on Saturday, November 12th, as they travel to Syracuse, N.Y., to face the Syracuse Orange in the Carrier Dome at 4:00 p.m. The Rams will open their 2011-12 home season the following Friday, November 18th, as they host the Binghamton University Bearcats in the Rose Hill Gym at 7:00 p.m.
