JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Lincoln University Department of Athletics has entered into an agreement with Hometown Ticketing to become the exclusive ticket provider for the Blue Tigers in 2020-21. All tickets to LU basketball games will be digital this season and must be purchased prior to arriving at Jason Gym. There will be no on-site ticket sales in 2020-21.
Â
Fans will be able to purchase tickets through
www.LUBlueTigers.com/Tickets, and can choose to either print out the tickets or receive them digitally on their phones. This will create a contactless entry into Blue Tiger games, as Lincoln employees will scan the tickets from an appropriately safe distance. Tickets will be able to be shared to friends and family after purchase, but will only be allowed to be scanned once for entry. Once that ticket is scanned, it can no longer be shared.
Â
Due to league-wide COVID-related restrictions, Lincoln home games will be limited to a 25-percent seating capacity this basketball season. Blue Tiger Athletics Club members that have joined at the Coaches ($250), Champions ($500), or Athletic Director ($1000) levels will have priority access and be able to claim their complimentary ticket(s) on Mondays at 10:00 a.m. CST prior to any home games that week. These members will receive a code to claim their ticket, as well as an option to purchase additional tickets for the games scheduled that week. On Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. CST, any remaining tickets will be made available for purchase (up to four) by BTAC members that joined at the Blue Tiger level ($100). If you purchase tickets and are unable to attend, you will have the ability to give (or sell) your tickets to a friend. You'll simply send them the email or text with the bar code for your tickets.
Â
If tickets remain available by Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. CST, they will be made available to the general public. Tickets will cost $6 for single games and $8 for double-headers, not including an online service fee.

Masks will be required for all fans, and seating will be socially distanced. The Lincoln men's basketball team opens its home slate on Saturday (Nov. 21) with a 1:30 p.m. CST tip-off against Central Missouri. The Blue Tiger women will take the court at Jason Gym for the first time on Nov. 28 in a 1:00 p.m. CST contest against Missouri Southern with the men's team to follow in a doubleheader at 3:00 p.m. CST.
