The details are set for the Husker’s ticket lottery.

Nebraska’s first game will be Friday at 6:05 pm. General Admission seats will be able to start lining up at 12:01 am on Friday (18 hours before first pitch). To avoid confusion, there will be two lines, one for the early game and one for the Nebraska game - attendants will be on-hand to direct folks to the proper line. Friday is a two-session day, which means the stadium will be completely cleared between games so trying to cheat your way in won’t work.

For the approximately 1,000 tickets which will go on sale Friday morning, a lottery system will be used. This is the standard concert-type lottery where one number will be chosen and tickets will sell from that number on. Numbers will be handed out starting at 7:30 am with the winning number drawn approximately at 8:40 am. Each person in line after the winning number will be able to buy 4 seats, payable by cash or check only. No credit cards will be accepted. Please note that the parking area will still be closed off for permitted vehicles only, so it is recommended that you arrive slightly early to find a spot and get to the ticket window to obtain your lottery number.

Sunday’s lottery will likely follow the same schedule unless the situation is problematic on Friday. In which case their will be some revisions to the process.

A HuskerZone.com advisory to those already holding tickets. If you attended any of the Creighton/Nebraska games at Rosenblatt the past couple of years you already know to arrive at least an hour early in order to get in before first pitch. For the Husker’s CWS game, we highly recommend getting there at least 2-3 hours prior. This game has the makings of the highest attendance game in CWS history and combined with a end-of-rush-hour gametime, traffic will be a mess. If you are holding one of the coveted Parking Permits, remember that it does not guarantee a parking spot. The lot will likely be full as early as 10:00 am if not sooner.
