Tickets will be sold gamebygame. Tickets will be sold in blocks with distancing considerations as part of sales and seating locations. A maximum of eight tickets per order will be allowed. To achieve this, all ticketing in 2020 will be handled directly by the USD Ticket Office.
After qualifying for the finals, schools will receive an “access code” that will allow their selected patrons to pre-purchase tickets as the schools see fit. Each team will be afforded a “reserved” seating area and a “student” area. All remaining tickets will be available for sale to the public beginning at 12:00 Noon on Monday, November 9. A limited number of suites and premium seating areas are also available for sale directly through the USD Ticketing Office.
