CLEVELAND TICKET INFO

Children 2 & up need a ticket to enter Rocket Arena.

Each school participating in the tournament has a limited allotment of tickets for each game. If you would like to attend, please fill out and submit the MAC Basketball Ticket Order Form and a ticket representative will call you back to confirm your order and collect your payment. Completing this ticket order form does not guarantee tickets as Blue and White Fund loyalty point ranking will be used to determine who has first access to tickets.

TICKETS MUST BE PRE-ORDERED! PLEASE INDICATE ALL THE GAMES YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND. TICKETS WILL ONLY BE CHARGED WHEN TEAMS ADVANCE TO THE NEXT ROUND. Your tickets will be in the assigned UB Sections, however we cannot guarantee special requests or bundle the order with other orders.

Men's game tickets are $38.00 (good for all games on each session date)

PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE SEAT GEEK APP TO YOUR SMARTPHONE. Each ticket purchased will be sent to you DIGITALLY --- all we need is your smartphone cell number, including your area code.

ALL ticket allocations will be based on your Loyalty Point Rank. If you’d like to know what your loyalty point rank is or learn more about loyalty point rank, you may contact the Blue and White Fund Office at 716-645-6867.

There is no maximum number of tickets you can purchase. HOWEVER, based on your loyalty point rank and availability, the max number of tickets you can purchase in the lower bowl will be four (4) tickets. If there is availability we will do our best to accommodate your request over those 4 tickets in the lower bowl. If we can’t, any additional tickets will be in the club level.
