Follow the Razorbacks to the NCAA College World Series

If you’re an Arkansas baseball fan and want to follow the Razorbacks to Omaha, Nebraska for the 2009 NCAA College World Series, you’re in luck! You can advance purchase a book of 10 general admission tickets for just $70 online. The College World Series will begin Saturday, June 13 and will last through June 23 or June 24.

The Razorbacks will play the winner of the Cal-State Fullerton Louisville Super Regional. Game dates and times will not be announced until the complete NCAA College World Series field is determined.

Keep in mind that Arkansas will receive a limited number of reserved tickets, so get yours as soon as possible. The Arkansas ticket office will begin contacting those on the ticket priority list Monday (June 8) starting with Broyles-Matthews baseball season ticket holders. The general admissions tickets are non-guaranteed seats in the right and left outfield bleachers at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium. The estimated capacity is 5,400 for these aluminum, bench-style seats with seat backs. These tickets are not designated for a specific session or date but are rather available on a first-come, first-served basis. If the ticket holder arrives early enough to be seated, the tickets are good for all games, even Finals games. If the GA section is completely full, the gates will close and even ticketholders for the section will be denied entry. Gates may reopen after a few innings or ticketholders will be able to watch the game on a big screen TV in the plaza area.

GA tickets may be upgraded to reserved seats by paying the difference in price between a reserved and GA ticket. These upgrades will only be available at the Rosenblatt box office and go on sale at 10am for that day of games only (if there is a 6pm game only, the box office will not open until 12pm). Upgrades are also available on a first-come, first-served basis and the limit is six ticket upgrades for qualifying games and four for finals games.

Single GA tickets ($10 a piece) will go on sale at 10am the day of the game and will be available at the Rosenblatt Stadium box office only. These tickets are not sold in advance and will not be available via TicketMaster.
