The George Mason ticket office has been overwhelmed with ticket requests the past few days and after a lot of hard work, those members of the Patriot Club and the various season ticket holders who have been fortunate to receive tickets to the NCAA Regional have been notified. In addition, all student tickets have been accounted for as well.

The George Mason athletics department would like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and support and fans are encouraged to visit the Patriots' open practice on Thursday at the Verizon Center at Noon. Mason will practice for 50 minutes and the other three teams also participating in the regional will take the floor after Mason. Fans are also encourage to come out to the send-off planned for 6:30 p.m. tonight at the loading dock area of the Patriot Center, and to take part in one of the many viewing parties being planned in the area.

On Thursday a limited number of tickets will be made available to all Mason Faculty and Staff in the Field House on a first-come, first-serve basis starting at 10 am. Mason Faculty and Staff will be allowed to purchase only one ticket with a valid Mason ID. If you want to sit with friends you must be in line with who you would like to sit with because tickets will be given out in order of allotment from lower to higher seat location. Tickets may not be together. Ticket prices are $130 and good for both Friday games and the Sunday game. Faculty and Staff who faxed in a request form will not be considered in that manner and should come to the Field House on Thursday.
