If you're looking to exchange Duke basketball tickets with a friend, there are a few things to keep in mind. Duke University offers season tickets to Iron Dukes members, who must make annual contributions to the Iron Dukes Annual Fund. These tickets are in high demand and often hard to secure, so it's important to plan ahead. Single-game tickets are also available through the official waitlist, which offers fans an opportunity to purchase tickets when they become available. When exchanging tickets, it's important to note that digital tickets must be accessed through a mobile device, although hard copies are also valid. Additionally, accessible seating is available for purchase, and guests may be allowed depending on the game.
