Some policy changes for student tickets for the men’s home basketball games have been made. Student tickets reserved through the EASY system that are not picked up by the designated deadline or any student tickets available due to reservations through EASY not reaching capacity will be made available to students on a first come, first serve basis on the business day following the deadline for ticket pick-up for reservations made on EASY. These tickets will be available until the day of the game or until all 950 student tickets are distributed, whichever comes first, at the Convocation Center Box office between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
A stand-by ticket policy has also been created for the men’s home basketball games. On game day, if all student tickets have not been distributed, then students can pick up a ticket at the Convocation Center Box Office Student Window. If all 950 student tickets have been distributed and the game is not sold out, then students who did not receive a ticket can line up in the “STAND-BY LINE” at the Convocation Center Student Entrance not more than one hour prior to game time. Ten minutes before tip-off, any unsold tickets will be available for students at no charge. “STAND-BY” seats will not be in student sections.
If you obtain a student ticket and are unable to attend the game, please give your ticket to another currently enrolled UM student. A printed ticket and student Cane Card are required for admission. Students should plan to be seated at least 10 minutes prior to tip-off.
