UMaine students to reserve free game tickets online
New digital ticketing system launches this fall for football, hockey and basketball
University of Maine students will no longer have to line up hours before ticketed athletic events. Maine Athletics has introduced a digital ticketing system that allows students to reserve free tickets online instead of waiting outside in long lines.
The new portal gives undergraduate and graduate students the ability to claim one ticket per game for football, men’s and women’s ice hockey, and men’s and women’s basketball.
Reservations open every Sunday at noon for games scheduled within the upcoming nine-day window and close 48 hours before tipoff or puck drop, or when tickets run out.
The system went live at noon on Sunday, Sept. 7, which means students can begin reserving tickets for the Black Bears’ first home football game against Stonehill on Saturday, Sept. 13.
Tickets are delivered by email or text and can be stored in Apple or Google Wallets for quick entry. Students who cannot attend may return their ticket up to 24 hours before the game, while any remaining tickets will be distributed at the gate on game day to MaineCard holders.
