In mid-July, the University of New Mexico athletics department announced its new ticket prices for the upcoming Lobo men’s basketball season. Wednesday morning, Sept. 27, at 8:30 a.m. (M.D.T.) the general public will be able to take advantage of the new offers when season tickets go on sale. Fans can stop by the UNM Ticket Office at The Pit or log onto ww.GoLobos.com to find out more about Lobo men’s basketball season tickets or make a purchase.
UNM’s home schedule features 19 exciting games, including match-ups against Big 12 foes Colorado and Kansas State, arch-rival New Mexico State and eight Mountain West Conference games. The entire season will be celebration of “40 Years in The Pit,” beginning with the season opener against Abilene Christian, the same team that played the Lobos in the first game in The Pit on Dec. 1, 1966.
Season ticket prices start at $99 for youth and $207 for adults. As an incentive to purchase season tickets all season ticket holders will receive a Lobo Men’s Basketball Fan Pack. The Fan Pack includes a free Lobo basketball t-shirt and two (2) vouchers for any Lobo women’s basketball game. Another added benefit for season ticket holders is the opportunity to redeem all unused tickets for a later game. Redeemed tickets will be placed in bench rows 1-10 and the exact details of the ticket exchange program will be outlined in the season ticket mailing.
There are many other exciting ticket purchasing opportunities available for the upcoming season, including the new youth ticket pricing, a newly formed Family Zone, mini packs and lowered group ticket rates. These are all designed to help meet the demands of Lobo fans and make the atmosphere in The Pit among the best in college basketball. These new ticket packages will also be available on Wednesday, Sept. 27.
A complete list of single game and season ticket prices are below. The youth ticket prices available in the bench rows 1-10 and the mezzanine are new for the 2006-07 season. Also, season ticket buyers in the bench rows 1-10 will notice a near 10% savings off the face value of the ticket.
