Ticket info – OU officials say the chairback reserved all-session passes are sold out. They say tickets are in high demand. Tickets go on sale 90 minutes before each game. People coming down from Wichita for a single game against OU should arrive early. Tickets should be available, but it is hard to say how many. The park seats 2,700, but OU will sell berm seats (as it did in 2006). That pushes capacity to around 3,500-4,000.
