One thing we noticed right away: They are curtaining off Baxter Arena to limit attendance. You can see the curtains in the photo on the UNO/Ticketmaster/IO-Media website.
The diagram shows several seating areas. Courtside seats are in GREEN and are $500 per ticket. "Lower Center" tickets in RED -- sections 114, 115, 117) are $300 each. The "Lower Corner" seats in YELLOW are $225 each (sections 113, 119, 107, and 102). The only upper bowl seats are in sections 214, 215, 216, 217, and 218) and those are in BLUE -- they're $150 each. Students are in Section 118 (behind the away bench, and those tickets are free for UNO students.
Payment plans WILL be available -- there is a half-and-half payment option (pay 1/2 now and the other half in 30 days), plus 3-month and 6-month payment plans.
Club seat holders have access to ALL UNO home athletic events (hockey, men's and women's basketball, and volleyball) at Baxter Arena, and those seats are all sold out.
As with the hockey season ticket selection process, priority points are being used to determine when you can pick your seats. Our letter said we're able to pick on Thursday, June 18.
Some of you probably already know this, but the home basketball schedule will have 13-15 games, according to Brian in the UNO ticket office. The schedule has not yet been finalized (some home and away games are still pending), and they expect to release the schedule by the end of July. The link will be here on the Omavs website. There aren't currently any "big names" on the home game schedule, according to Brian, and he mentioned that some of the big name teams are reluctant to schedule a home game in the first year of a new arena -- I would guess because of the "upset factor" -- we have more incentive to win than they do. *smile*
Last year, UNO had about 200 season ticket accounts that controlled about 600 seats. I would imagine that demand will be higher this year because it's the first year UNO is playing a full Division I schedule, and they're in the new arena.
There will be 300 or so "fixed" seats for students, plus Brian said they are considering adding bleacher seating (probably on the end(s), like they did at the Ralston arena) for big games as overflow seating.
Remember, with season tickets, you'll get a discount over single game pricing, and have your guaranteed seat. (Jon and I are looking at getting a couple of basketball season tickets.)
Brian also said that single-game hockey tickets are likely to go on sale towards the first part of August, and that pricing for single game seats (for hockey OR basketball) have not been determined.
The UNO ticket office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 402-554-MAVS, if you have any questions about hockey or basketball tickets.
