Tickets for the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament are scheduled to go on sale on April 26, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) announced on Tuesday.

At a press conference held at Manila Peninsula Hotel, SBP vice president Al Panlilio said tickets will be available online to accommodate international inquiries.

"As of today we're getting a lot of demand of tickets. Because of this high demand of tickets, we are considering the possibility of a ballot or lottery system," he said.

Ticket prices for Gilas Pilipinas game days during the group phase are pegged at P10,000 for the VIP section, P8,500 for the patron section, and P6,800 for lower box.

Ticket prices for the non-Gilas game day on July 7 come in cheaper, with P5,000 for the VIP section, P4,000 for the patron section, and P3,000 for lower box.
