MILWAUKEE, Wis. (August 5, 2024) – Three intriguing college basketball contests will make up the MKE Tip-Off, providing each program with a pivotal non-conference test before jumping back into conference play. The tripleheader is set for Dec. 15 at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum.
The hometown Milwaukee Panthers will take on Akron, Northwestern squares off with Georgia Tech, and San Francisco will face Loyola Chicago in a trio of resume-boosting matchups that will take place throughout the day. Final game times will be announced at a later date.
The Milwaukee Athletics Ticket Office is now accepting orders through August 28th for the MKE Tip-Off event. Milwaukee Panthers fans interested in securing tickets for the MKE Tip-Off event at Fiserv Forum are encouraged to purchase their tickets, which will be good for all three games of the tripleheader, through the Panthers Ticket Office by visiting HERE or by calling 414-229-5886.
General seating bowl ticket prices range from $35 to $60. Patrons interested in courtside seats should contact the Milwaukee Athletics Ticket Office at 414-229-5886 or [email protected]. View price level map HERE.
Panthers men’s basketball season ticket members should note that this neutral-site event is not part of their season ticket package. Season ticket members should purchase tickets by clicking HERE or by calling 414-229-5886.
At the time of purchase, patrons will be issued a ticket within each price level. Seat locations will be determined in the fall, and patrons will be allocated an actual seat location, within that price level, which will include a section, row and seat number. Seats will be allocated based on season ticket member and donor status. Tickets will be transferred to individual patron’s Ticket Master accounts in the fall, well in advance of the games. Milwaukee Athletics will notify ticket holders via email when this process is completed. All tickets will be digital and will be valid for all three games.
Intersport, a Chicago-based sports marketing and events agency, will manage the event.
