Students can also purchase individual game tickets, which vary in price depending on the opponent, and are available for purchase online or at the Michigan Athletics Ticket Office. Students are encouraged to arrive together if they wish to sit together, as no seats are reserved. Students with tickets are required to wear maize and must stand during game action. Tickets must be downloaded in advance as cellular coverage at Michigan Athletic events is limited. Students are also able to transfer their tickets to another student or non-student for free, and refunds are available for those who notify the ticket office by a specified date.

Claiming tickets
To claim tickets for Michigan basketball games, students must be enrolled at the University of Michigan during the Winter semester. Students must purchase a ticket online through their student account. Students who have purchased season basketball tickets will then need to ""claim" the games they wish to attend through their mgoblue.com student account during specified "claim periods". There are three claim periods, and students will receive an email from the Athletic Department notifying them of the dates. Students will also receive their tickets via email from [email protected]. It is important to download tickets in advance, as there is limited cellular coverage near Michigan Athletic events. On the day of the game, students can go straight to the Maize Rage entrance and present their ticket from their phone's wallet. Students who have claimed their ticket will receive either a game-day ticket and a wristband, allowing them to sit in the Maize Rage bleachers, or a game-day ticket identifying a specific section to which they have been assigned. Students with a ticket in the bleachers are required to wear maize.
Students who are not ticket holders will be given an opportunity to purchase those tickets. Single-game prices for students vary from $5-$20, depending on the opponent. There is a limit of one ticket per student, per game available. Students will have a one-business-day exclusive access period to these tickets before they are released to the public. Students can purchase at mgoblue.com/tickets and clicking 'Michigan Students' to log in to their account, and at the Michigan Athletics Ticket Office. If any tickets remain after all the student sales, they will be available to the general public at the public single-game price.
Students who miss three or more claimed games in the first two claim periods will not be eligible for the third and final claim period. Students receive three ticket returns on the season, which must be electronically returned a minimum of 24 hours prior to the game. Failure to return a ticket on time and not attending counts as a missed game.

Ticket transfers
Ticket holders can transfer their tickets to another student or non-student for free. The deadline to transfer your ticket is the start of the game. To transfer a ticket, log in to your MGoBlue.com/StudentTix account using your 8-digit student ID number and password, and follow the instructions provided.
Recipients of transferred tickets must enter through the Maize Rage student entrance and present their digital delivery ticket on their phone. It is important to note that scalping, or selling tickets above face value, is against University policy and Michigan law. Attempting to sell or solicit ticket sales on campus without a permit is also prohibited. Violation of these policies may result in future ineligibility to purchase tickets.
The University of Michigan also offers a secure student ticket marketplace called MaizeTix. This platform allows students to buy and sell tickets for various sporting events, including football and basketball. MaizeTix guarantees quick and secure ticket transfers, with automatic delivery to the buyer's email once payment is received. The platform also provides transparency in pricing, allowing sellers to view the market rate for tickets and set their prices accordingly.
To use MaizeTix, students can log in to their portal and transfer their ticket to the platform. MaizeTix will hold the ticket until it is purchased, ensuring a scam-free environment. Once the ticket is sold, the seller will receive the payment minus a fee of $3 plus 5% of the sale price. Buyers can then access their purchased tickets through their student email.

Gameday entry
On game day, students can go straight to the Maize Rage entrance at Crisler Center and present their student ticket from their phone's wallet.

The deadline to transfer your ticket is the start of the game.
Students with a ticket in the bleachers are required to wear maize. This can be a Michigan shirt (preferably basketball-related), a Michigan basketball jersey, or a costume. Students who do not comply with this requirement may be moved to a seat in the upper bowl. It is also required that students in the bleachers stand up during game action and are not on their cell phones.
Priority Line Access is based on student basketball priority points, and it provides the opportunity for select students to sit in the lower bowl (Bleacher Seating & Section 130). Priority points are earned by attending and scanning your ticket at any men's basketball game. For each game, your ticket is scanned, you earn three priority points. If your ticket is scanned 30 minutes before tip-off, you earn an additional three priority points.
