Securing Your Seat: A Comprehensive Guide to University of Nebraska Basketball Tickets

The University of Nebraska Cornhuskers men’s basketball program, born in 1897 in Lincoln, blends Big Ten toughness with year-round passion inside Pinnacle Bank Arena, affectionately known as "The Vault." On game night, the Sea of Red surges to its feet as The Iron N student section fuels runs with nonstop noise, and the surrounding Haymarket District crackles with energy. This article serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the ins and outs of Nebraska basketball tickets, from season tickets and premium seating to single-game options and important policies.

A Legacy of Passion and Pride

The Nebraska Cornhuskers men's basketball program has a rich history, with program highlights including the 1994 Big Eight Tournament crown and the 1996 NIT championship, along with multiple NCAA Tournament appearances. Icons like Tyronn Lue and Eric Piatkowski helped shape Husker hoops, and the in-state clash with Creighton is circled every year for bragging rights.

Ticket Options: Finding the Right Fit

Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual observer, there are various ticket options to suit your needs and budget.

Season Tickets: Becoming a Part of the Sea of Red

For the most dedicated fans, season tickets offer the opportunity to secure the same seats for every home game, ensuring you don't miss a moment of the action.

Key Information:

To qualify for season parking, you must have season Men’s Basketball tickets on your account. No more than four (4) parking passes will be allowed per account.

Seat Selection Process:

The Seat Selection process helps current and prospective Men's Basketball Season Ticket Holders who wish to explore the option of moving their season ticket(s) or acquiring new seats.

Selecting, Upgrading, or Adding Additional Seats

New men's basketball season tickets can be purchased during the renewal process in limited areas of Pinnacle Bank Arena at Huskers.com/tickets/mbb. The Huskers Athletic Fund also offers new and current season ticket holders the opportunity to add, upgrade, or relocate their season tickets each year through the Seat Selection Process after the renewal deadline. Because appointment times for Seat Selection are assigned based on Huskers Athletic Fund ranking, we encourage members to consider upgrading their membership level by making a gift above & beyond their priority seating contribution to one of our areas of greatest need. A few days prior to the process, we will send you your Seat Selection appointment time during which you can login to view the available inventory. Should you move into a new section with a higher price point or add seats, payment will be taken upon checkout for the difference.

To participate in the Seat Selection Process, both new and current Nebraska Men's Basketball season ticket holders, must enroll prior to the renewal deadline to receive an appointment time.

Priority seating contributions provide Huskers Athletic Fund members with a minimum annual contribution required to sit in a specific section. Inventory varies throughout Pinnacle Bank Arena and seating upgrades are selected during the Seat Selection Process which assigns timeslots based on Huskers Athletic Fund ranking which is determined by priority level, then priority points.

Premium Seating: Elevating the Game Day Experience

For fans seeking a more luxurious experience, premium seating options offer a range of amenities and benefits. These offerings include Courtside Seating. These courtside plush leather seats are available at the Men's Basketball games on the west, north, and south side of the court. Courtside seats include regular season access to the Courtside Room for pregame and halftime hospitality, including all-inclusive food & Pepsi products and a private cash bar. Courtside seats at men's games require a $3,250-$3,500 annual contribution per seat plus the price of the season ticket. Courtside seats are sold through the Seat Yourself process upon availability.
