EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville Department of Athletics will offer additional time and season ticket order enhancements to provide as many accommodations as possible during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). These accommodations include an extended basketball season ticket renewal deadline, a ticket assurance program, as well as expanded payment plans. 
 
Purple Aces fans have played a vital role in helping to establish an incredible home atmosphere. In the last two seasons, the Aces have seen increased support and have competed to lead the Missouri Valley Conference in attendance, finishing second only to the league champion, Bradley.  The 2019 season also boasted the sixth largest crowd in Ford Center history as 7,316 fans witnessed a thrilling overtime win over Murray State on December 21 
 
"We're ready to build on the excitement for the program and know we cannot do that without standing behind the community that supports us year after year," Assistant Athletic Director for Ticketing and Game Operations Jake Hill said.  "The support we receive from our fans is incredible, and we will continue forward as one."
 
Enhancements to the 2020-2021 season ticket ordering process are outlined below:
 
Deadline Extension
Originally scheduled for July 31, the renewal deadline will be extended to Friday, August 14.  The new deadline allows more time for Aces fans to renew or purchase additional packages before new 2020 season account allocation.
 
Ticket Assurance Program
Season ticket holders who have purchased directly through the UE Athletics Ticket Office will have the option of a refund equal to the total seat cost per game (premium license fee excluded) that is cancelled or restricted. Premium seat license fees will be refunded in the event a ticket holder needs to be relocated to ensure social distancing under direction of CDC federal and local guidelines as applied by the Ford Center management team. 
 
Payment Plan Options
Expanding on the previous 50/50 payment plan historically offered, the ticket staff will have information regarding monthly and bi-weekly options and will work directly with account holders to be as flexible as possible to your needs. 
 
Payment plan options will be further outlined in your renewal brochure, which is scheduled for delivery during the first week of June.
