Ticket Information

How do I get tickets? Season ticket holders, student "Fanatics" and select donors were allowed to pre-order tickets for all possible NCAA sites. The remaining allotment of tickets will be available to season ticket holders, Marquette students & alumni, Blue and Gold Fund donors or Marquette University donors of $500 and more. Should ticket requests exceed the allotment of seats, priority will be given based on priority points and annual giving.

To add your name to the waiting list for tickets, call (414) 288-4668 starting at 8 a.m. on Monday, March 19. Please submit your request by 5 p.m. CT on Monday, March 19 and you will be notified via email by Tuesday at 5 p.m. CT if we can process and fulfill your order. Ticket requests will not be accepted after 5 p.m. CT Monday.

I requested tickets through the pre-sale. What happens now? If you requested tickets through the presale, your credit card will be charged $180 (lower level) or $140 (upper level) per ticket. Only the individual whose name is on the account, or the spouse, can pick up the tickets at the site. You must have a valid photo ID when picking up the tickets. You will receive tickets to ALL SESSIONS, both Thursday and Saturday, regardless of whether Marquette wins on Thursday or not.

Can I change the name at will call on my tickets? There are no refunds, exchanges or substitutions on any NCAA tournament tickets.

Where do I pick up my tickets? At the Marquette will call location (to be determined at this point). You must have a valid photo ID when picking up the tickets. You will receive an email to confirm location of will call by Wednesday.

So....I know I posted the e-mail info from Marquette.  But...still curious.  I have a flight.  Any season ticket holders anticipate having extra tickets?  Any accommodation suggestions?

1) Milwaukee has a game Friday, but it's way in Tucson?  What other teams are nearby?

2) I have a flight booked.  I will put my name in for tickets through Marquette by end of the business day Monday, but if someone has a great extra ticket please tell me (and only me until the offer has been accepted or declined).

3) There are Waffle Houses in Phoenix.  We need to have an MUScoop / Team Meal gathering.  

4) Would it be ridiculous to get a hotel outside of downtown?  Super inconvenient or not too bad?  What areas would you recommend?  (Planning to get a rental car.  edit: oh man, they are bill jacking on the rental cars.)

5) wuz good?

The spring training game is in Phoenix on Friday.  They played in Tucson this past Friday.

Also, flights were a lot cheaper if you fly into Tucson instead (two hr drive to Phoenix).

When will we know what time the game is on Thursday?  Any predictions?  If I go I will request my max amount of tickets fo sho!

Chris - thanks.  I just picked up a ticket for an aisle seat behind the Angel's dugout for Friday afternoon's game vs. the Brewers.  For others - sounds like MU is offering a trip to the game including tix for those who get the package, but as of now there are some very good seats available via milwaukeebrewers.com. 

If times are similar to last year, I think Thursday's games would start at roughly 4pm MT and Saturday's game would be around the same time.  Might also try to hit Turf Paradise on Saturday .. post time 1pm.  Could win on a few races before hitting the game.

How hard is to get tickets through mu? Do you have to be a blue and gold donor?

[San Diego Warrior]

I called about the package to Phoenix, and it sounds like the shuttle is all the is being provided for Spring Training.  You still need to buy tickets for Spring Training.

I am arriving on Wednesday night, but the hotel packages don't start until Thursday night?  Lame!

Is it possible to go to the pregame and postgame events if you are not part of the hotel package?

When do we find out where our seats are?
