CARBONDALE, Ill. - With the new policy in place that allows Dawg Pound members to pick-up men's basketball tickets before the rest of the student body, SIU students are strongly encouraged to join the club and enjoy its many benefits.

For $10, Dawg Pound members receive a maroon Dawg Pound T-shirt sponsored by 710 Bookstore. Members will also be eligible for two drawings for $500 of free books. Also, when any Pound member sells their books back to 710 Bookstore after each semester this year, they will receive an extra $10. Of course, the best benefit of membership is the opportunity to claim tickets early and guarantee access to games.

Ticket Pick-Up Schedule

The Dawg Pound has grown from 420 members last year to 705 members so far this season.

Students can sign up for a membership in Lingle Hall Room 118 during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.).
