AVOID LONG TICKET LINES AT GAME TIME!
It's a good problem to have...
The success of the team on the ice combined with food and beverage specials in the arena are creating long lines at the Tyson Events Center Box Office at game time. With all ticket windows open and selling as fast as they can, fans who show up to purchase tickets after 6:50pm are often times waiting in line for a half an hour or longer. Here's how to avoid the hassle:
1: Purchase your tickets in advance at the Tyson Events Center Box office, or online at Ticketmaster.com. Groups of 10 or more can purchase tickets by calling 712-252-2116!
2: Show up early! Doors open 1 hour before game time. Warmups start a half an hour before game time. Get in the doors early and get fueled up at a Centerplate concession stand, geared up at the Musketeers Merchandise stand, and then check out warmups! You'll be in your seat and ready to rock for pre-game, which takes place at 7pm sharp! (3pm on Sundays)
