Harvard Crimson Men's Basketball Tickets

Harvard Crimson men's basketball has been writing Ivy League lore since 1900 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Playing at intimate Lavietes Pavilion in Boston's Allston neighborhood, the Crimson surged under head coach Tommy Amaker, stacking Ivy titles and earning the program's first NCAA Tournament win by stunning New Mexico in 2013, then toppling Cincinnati in 2014. Earlier generations reached the 1946 Elite Eight. From Jeremy Lin's breakout seasons to tough, defense-first groups, Harvard made winning in the Ivy a habit.

Game nights feel personal: low sightlines, a loud student section, and traditions that turn close games electric. Annual battles with Yale and Princeton sharpen the edge and fill the house. Be there when the Crimson tip off and the band hits the first note. Buy tickets from Vivid Seats to experience it live!
