Seat Selection at the New UNO Community Arena

The selection process for seats in the new arena is well underway! The new UNO Community Arena, located in Aksarben Village, will host its first hockey game on October 23, 2015.

In 2010, UNO announced that it would use a "priority points" process to determine seat selection. Points would be awarded for consecutive season tickets (dating back to 1997) as well as donations to the One Fund.

Letters were sent out notifying individuals of their "priority" number, and people were given the opportunity to make corrections or improve their status by making additional donations.

UNO also sent out a brochure outlining the pricing options (click on the image to enlarge):








Pricing for UNO Hockey tickets for the 2015-16 season is:
Suites: $40,000 (corners) – $50,000 (center ice)
Club Seats: $1500 per season, per seat
Glass: $495 per seat
Lower Premier (basically, center ice in the lower bowl, goal line to goal line on the non-suite side): $495 per seat
Lower End Zone (lower bowl seats, shoot-once end): $455
Upper Premier (goal line to goal line in the upper bowl): $295 per seat
Upper End Zones (upper bowl seats, both ends of the ice): $265
UNO Students: Free

There are 17 suites available for purchase. Suites include 12 fixed seats, plus four additional "bar rail" seats and four standing room tickets. Suites also include four parking passes per suite in the private parking lot, plus access to the Club Lounge and Suite Concierge staff. Suite purchases include all arena events.

Club suites include tickets to all UNO athletics regular-season events (hockey, basketball, volleyball) and first right of refusal on all non-UNO Athletic events. It also includes access to a Club Lounge and premium parking (accounts with 1-4 tickets will receive one parking pass; 5-8 tickets will receive two passes, etc.). Club suite chairs are 22" seats and have the UNO logo on them.

Regular seats are 20" seats (non-logoed) and season ticket holders will have "exclusive pre-sale access to all non-UNO Athletic events."

Parking is free and is available on a first-come, first-served basis, with more than 2400 stalls available. Premier parking is available for Suite and Club Seat members.

The process was finalized in March and the higher level priority people were given the opportunity to select their seats "on paper" in mid-March because the software wasn't available yet.

In late March, the software was finalized and people were given the opportunity to select their seats using the iomedia software.

Current UNO season ticket holders finished selecting their seats in mid-April. Individuals who had called the UNO ticket office and asked to be put on the waiting list were given the opportunity to select next.

The general public is expected to be able to start selecting on or around April 24, 2015.
