KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Association of Basketball Coaches has extended a longstanding partnership with Kansas City-based Tickets For Less (TFL). Through the partnership, TFL will continue to operate as the exclusive secondary ticket marketplace of the Hall of Fame Classic.
The 2025 Hall of Fame Classic will be held Nov. 20-21 at T-Mobile Center in downtown Kansas City, featuring a field of Kansas State, Nebraska, Mississippi State and New Mexico.
This season’s Hall of Fame Classic will mark the event’s 25th year of operation in Kansas City, and will return to its traditional two-day, four-team bracketed format.
“Tickets For Less has for years elevated the Hall of Fame Classic as our secondary ticket marketplace partner,” said NABC Senior Director of Events Mark Heatherman. “We’re excited to continue the partnership with a fellow Kansas City-based company as we look ahead to a marquee Hall of Fame Classic in 2025.”
The partnership extension between the NABC and TFL was negotiated by Van Wagner, which manages the NABC’s multimedia rights and corporate marketing program.
“We’re thrilled to once again partner with the NABC for the Hall of Fame Classic,” said Ryan Kindt, Vice President of Partnerships at TFL. “Our goal has always been to make it easy for fans to secure tickets to great events like this one so they can focus on enjoying the moment.”
