Volleyball Season Ticket information

SPRINGFIELD -- Missouri State volleyball season tickets are currently on sale for what amounts to a total of 17 matches at Hammons Student Center this fall.

The Bears host the annual Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational Sept. 13-14, with Oklahoma, Middle Tennessee and Alabama A&M coming to Springfield for the event, and will play additional matches against Kansas State (Sept. 22) and SEMO (Oct. 29) to round out the non-conference slate. The Missouri Valley Conference includes nine matches, with Loyola University Chicago replacing Creighton in the league this season.

In all, Missouri State will play 14 regular-season home matches, with three neutral contests not involving the Bears taking place during the Wynn Invitational.

Missouri State returns nearly its entire roster from the 2012 club this season, including seven players who have earned an all-conference distinction during their careers. Seven seniors and four juniors make up an experienced group aiming for a 15th consecutive winning season and eighth NCAA Tournament appearance since 2003.

Reserved season tickets cost $60 for adults, $54 for seniors and $30 for MSU faculty and staff. Those prices are reduced to $45 for adults, $40.50 for seniors and $22.50 for MSU faculty and staff for general admission seating. Single-match tickets are $5 and $3 for children aged 12 and under, with a price reduction of $1 each in groups of 20 or more.

Single-match tickets will be available in August. Missouri State students are admitted free to all home matches with a valid BearPass ID.
