Release from Hutchinson Community College Sports Information
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — With limited numbers of fans allowed to return to live events starting Saturday, the Hutchinson Community College Athletic Department has announced its ticketing policies for the Sports Arena.
The KJCCC voted on Monday to allow up to 25 percent capacity of fan-available seating for each league venue.
For Blue Dragon basketball, the first games in the Sports Arena where fans will be allowed will be this Saturday when the Hutchinson women’s and men’s basketball teams play host to the Cloud County Thunderbirds. Blue Dragon Volleyball’s first home match for fans will be 6 p.m. on Monday against Colby.
Because things could change after February 28 – the KJCCC will re-evaluate the current policy on March 1 – season tickets and All-Sport Tickets will not be sold this season.
All tickets sold this season will be $5 general admission tickets to any available seat in the Arena red and yellow sections. The Blue section (floor seats) will not be occupied by the public this season. There will be blocked seats in the red and yellow sections to ensure social distancing.
The seating set-up in the Sports Arena will be for both basketball and volleyball this season.
The available number of tickets available for the public will vary from game to game. There will also be a purchasing cycle for events at the Sports Arena. That means that each Monday, a new ticketing cycle begins for that week’s home events.
The biggest change for fans this season is that Blue Dragon Athletic Endowment members are the only eligible people to purchase tickets in advance. The remaining tickets will become available to the public at 1 p.m. each game day and will be available for purchase when the ticket window opens one hour prior to the first game until tickets are gone.
"This is a great opportunity for people to help Blue Dragon Athletics by joining the Endowment,” Blue Dragon Athletic Director Josh Gooch said. “This is a way for Blue Dragon fans to make sure they have the opportunity to purchase their tickets this season and not run the chance of missing a game. This opportunity benefits our loyal Athletic Endowment members and the Athletic Endowment is essential to the success of Blue Dragon Athletics.”
Some other changes for games at the Sports Arena this season will be no concessions will be sold at games this season and no outside food or drink will be allowed. Masks must be worn to enter and worn while inside the Sports Arena.
Ticketing and capacity policies for Gowans Stadium, Hobart-Detter Field, Fun Valley and the Salthawk Sports Complex will be announced at a later date.
