Single Game UNO Hockey Tickets Go On Sale Tuesday, August 4

UPDATE: As of 9:42 p.m. 7/28/15: UNO has moved the date/time that single game tickets will go on sale to TUESDAY, AUGUST 4 at 10 a.m. (Reason for change was to ensure adequate staffing to meet anticipated demand.)

UPDATE: As of 10:30 a.m. 7/29/15, new information available. See ** below.

UPDATE: As of 3:11 p.m. 7/29/15, we have (unconfirmed) single game ticket prices. See *** below.

UPDATE: As of 10:06 a.m. 7/30/15: UNO has sent out their news release about single game season tickets. It's posted at the bottom. Only significant change is single game ticket prices are now confirmed ($27 lower bowl/$20 upper bowl). See ****

The club seats are sold out. So are the regular season ticket seats. So if you don't have either one of these -- or are not currently enrolled as a student at UNO -- your best bet to see a UNO home hockey game at Baxter Arena is to snatch up one of the 500 single game tickets available for each matchup. (Or get to know a season ticket holder who doesn't have an every-home-game-attendance-streak like me and Jon.)

Single game UNO Hockey tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Central time on Monday, Aug. 3. Tuesday, Aug. 4. They will be available (with extra fees) on Ticketmaster:

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NORTH DAKOTA SERIES, FRIDAY, FEB. 26 AND SATURDAY, FEB. 27.

Not only is this the final home series of the regular season, but it's the first time the "Fighting No-Names" (who knows what they'll be called by February) will make their appearance at UNO's new arena.

I spoke with Brian in the UNO ticket office today, and he said they will be issuing a news release later this week outlining how tickets will be sold for that series. From what he said, it sounds like they will NOT be sold online, but only in person at the UNO ticket office (in Sapp Fieldhouse) and by phone (most likely at 402-554-MAVS).

If seeing this series (or one of the games) is on your "must-do" list, watch for an update on how ticket sales will be handled for these games/this series. And if you can't go, remember that tickets were being listed for as much as $149 for this series.... if they're going for that much, shouldn't going to the game be higher on your priority list??

And NO, I don't yet know what the ticket prices will be yet. Brian in the ticket office said that would be on the news release too ... which you can expect me to blog about in the next 72 hours (as soon as I see it, you'll see it!).

** Added 7/29/15:

NoDak series tickets will NOT be sold online (Ticketmaster is currently showing that they will go on sale 8/4 at 10 a.m. like the rest of the games but this is an ERROR). They will only be sold in person and over the phone (402-554-MAVS).

They moved the date to Tuesday 8/4 to ensure adequate staffing in the office and for the phones. Ticket sales will begin at 10 a.m. and the box office is open until 5 p.m. that day. School is NOT in session; however, parking enforcement will be in effect (although he said he'd talk to UNO Parking Enforcement officials to see if they can help with parking and traffic issues). That information will be in the news release, if addressed.

There are four ways to purchase tickets next Tuesday:
1. Online at the Ticketmaster link (EXCEPT for NoDak series):
http://www.ticketmaster.com/University-of-Nebraska-Omaha-Mavericks-tickets/artist/838151
* This will incur Ticketmaster fees

2. Through your MyMavs account (you will need your account number/login & PIN) -- these will incur a ticket delivery charge if you choose mail or email delivery, but not the FULL Ticketmaster charges you would normally have by buying "retail" Ticketmaster)

3. By phone by calling 402-554-MAVS (they are bringing in extra staff to answer the phones, but you may still have difficulty getting through). Tickets purchased by phone will not have Ticketmaster fees OR delivery fees if you choose to have the tickets emailed to you (as a PDF) or at Will Call. I'm not sure if they will charge extra to mail the tickets to you. (You could probably also pick them up at the Sapp Fieldhouse box office at a later time for free too, I would guess.) They will set up a MYMAVS account for you on the phone if you don't have one already. (If you do, you can give them your existing account number and they will put the tickets in the account for you to manage online.)

4. In person at the Sapp Fieldhouse box office from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tuesday, or anytime during normal ticket office business hours from Wednesday forward (until sold out). Tickets purchased in person will NOT have any Ticketmaster or delivery fees.

We're still anticipating a news release in the next 24-48 hours to provide information about single game ticket prices.
