OMAHA (KPTM) - It didn't take long Tuesday morning for Nebraska football fans to snap up the last 1,000 of the Huskers' nearly 12,000-ticket allotment for the December 5th Big 12 Championship Game.
Donor requests accounted for nearly 11,000 of the 11,909 Nebraska allotment. It took Nebraska officials until 9:30pm on Monday to process those orders. The remainder went on sale at 8am Tuesday morning.
After assisting those online, those waiting in the lobby, and holding on the phone, sales were complete in less than 15 minutes. Assistant Athletic Director for Ticketing Holly Adam said Tuesday morning, "Demand was very high, and the tickets went quickly." Nebraska will not be receiving any additional tickets for this game.
The Big 12 North Division Champion Huskers will play third-ranked South Division Champion Texas in the conference title game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Kickoff is set for 7pm.
Any remaining tickets for the game must be purchased through all Ticketmaster outlets, by phone at (800) 745-3000, on-line at www.ticketmaster.com, or in person at the Cowboys Stadium ticket office. Tickets will not be sold through the Big 12 Conference office.
