Once sales to season-ticket holders and donors are completed, representatives from the Athletics Ticket Office will fill requests based on the priority point system if tickets remain.
SEATING LOCATIONS
Due to increased commitments to the participating teams and other NCAA affiliates, the Athletics Ticket Office did not receive the same locations for tickets as during the NCAA Regionals in past years.
Representatives from the Athletics Ticket Office are pleased to provide Cougar supporters with the opportunity to purchase tickets to an event with such a high-ticket demand.
Ticket buyers can place requests to sit with friends. Seats will not be allocated until a later date and will be assigned in priority point order. Seating requests will be filled based on the lowest priority point total in the group.
