As part of efforts to pack Cameron Indoor Stadium for two typically sellout games, Duke Athletics is offering a special deal to staff and faculty for upcoming matchups against powerhouse rivals University of Connecticut and University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

Duke will host UConn at 7 p.m. Jan. 30 and ACC rival UNC at 7 p.m. Feb. 6. Employees can purchase reserved seating tickets to each game for $5, a savings of $12 per ticket.

"Duke employees play such a critical role to the success of our program through their continued support, loyalty, and dedication to our teams," said Whitney Neil, assistant director of marketing and promotions with Duke Athletics. "Offering discounted tickets is a small way we can say 'thank you' to faculty and staff for their many efforts in supporting our student-athletes."

Athletics expects both games to sellout quickly, so Duke community members are encouraged to stop by the Duke Athletics Ticket Office in Cameron or call (919) 681-2583 and mention the promo code "DUE." Discounted tickets are also available online by entering the code "DUE" - click here for UConn tickets and click here for UNC tickets.

The Blue Devils are currently 16-2 heading into Friday's game against Clemson. They're 7-0 in ACC games.
