VILLANOVA, Pa. - For regional NCAA tournament games, a limited number of tickets are made available to schools by the NCAA. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of tickets available, we will not be able to sell any tickets to the general public. However, some of these tickets will be made available to season ticket holders. Season ticket holders were sent NCAA Tournament request forms in early February with a return deadline of February 28, 2006. Please note that any ticket requests received after this deadline will not be considered.

Season ticket holders who submitted their requests by the deadline will be entered into a lottery. Season ticket holders who have won the lottery will be notified via telephone by 5pm on Tuesday, March 21, 2006. Due to the small number of tickets available, season ticket holders who have won this lottery will be limited to purchasing 4 tickets. Tickets are also available directly through the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome by calling 1-800-846-7437 or online at www.gophersports.com.

The total cost of the ticket packages is $130.00 for two sessions. Please note that if you win the lottery and purchase tickets, you will have tickets for Sunday's game regardless of whether Villanova advances to that game. There will be no refunds if Villanova does not advance to Sunday's game.

Information regarding tickets for Villanova undergraduate students will be emailed directly to students on Monday, March 20th.
