Pacer Paul George bought every ticket for Fresno State’s home opener to give away for free

Your chances to watch Nov. 16th’s Fresno State/Cal State Northridge men’s basketball game in person just got a lot tougher. Thanks a lot, Paul George.

Not content with scoring the first basket of the NBA’s season on Tuesday night, The Indiana Pacers All-Star, fresh off of signing a contract extension that could reach $90 million over five years, decided to buy each and every one of his former college’s tickets to their home opener. The Fresno Business Journal reported as much on Monday:

George purchased the tickets for the Save Mart Center’s full 15,596-seat configuration.


All season ticket holders will have their same seats for the opener.

Fans will need to print off a voucher at http://imgur.com/8fxYsZm, then redeem those vouchers at the Save Mart Center ticket office. Vouchers are available immediately and are redeemable for one ticket each.
