On Tuesday, the Gonzaga University athletic department announced that ticket distribution will be in-person when the Bulldogs take on the University of Washington on Dec. 12.
The decision comes after the department asked for feedback from students in a survey was issued on Nov. 11. Over 1,100 students participated in the survey, with a majority of respondents indicating a desire to move to an in-person student ticket distribution for all high-demand men’s basketball games.
Breaking: @GonzagaBulldogs has elected to return to in-person student ticket distribution for the @ZagMBB vs. Washington game on Dec. 12.
Distribution will be Dec. 5 in the McCarthey Athletic Center at 5 p.m.— The Gonzaga Bulletin (@GonzagaBulletin) December 1, 2021
Using a valid GU ID card, students can claim their tickets in the McCarthey Athletic Center on Sunday, Dec, 5, starting at 5:00pm. If tickets sell-out during the claiming window, students can enter a waitlist. Any tickets not claimed will be made available online at GoZags.com at 9 pm, which students can access using their online account.
The matchup against UW will be the second Tent City game of the season, with the first being Nov. 13 against then-No.5 Texas Longhorns. Students will also camp out for GU’s matchup against BYU on Jan. 13 and Saint Mary’s on Feb. 12.
It is unclear whether women’s basketball games will have in-person or online ticket distribution going forward.
Before the men’s and women’s basketball seasons began, the athletic department announced that tickets for all home games would be distributed online. Tickets were made available one week prior to a home game at 12:15, in which students logged into their online account to claim a spot.
