FISHERS, Ind. – It’s official! The Indy Ignite will make their Pro Volleyball Federation debut in front of a sellout crowd at Fishers Event Center.
Ignite officials announced today that all tickets for Saturday’s season opener against Orlando at the 7,500-seat arena have been purchased. It promises to be an electric debut for the PVF’s newest franchise in front of an energetic home fan base.
“That we were able to completely sell out Fishers Event Center four days before our first match is a prime example of the grassroots support behind Indy Ignite and a testament to the fact that Indiana absolutely is a volleyball state,” said Mary Kay Huse, President and General Manager, Indy Ignite. “Anyone who didn’t get tickets to Saturday’s game won’t have long to wait—the Ignite’s next home game is January 16! And for those who did, we’re beyond excited to welcome you to the first Indy Ignite experience!”
There’s still good news for fans unable to procure tickets to the 2025 season opener. The match will air live locally on WRTV beginning at 7 p.m. ET, as well as on the PVF’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@realprovb). Jack Kizer will handle play-by-play duties, with Brea Lassek as the match analyst.
