MOUNT OLIVE (July 26) – The University of Mount Olive athletic department has announced a new partnership with HomeTown Ticketing. Set to be integrated starting this fall, the new collaboration will offer a brand-new digital ticketing platform for home sporting events.

The service will be available for all UMO men's/women's basketball, men's/women's volleyball, men's/women's wrestling and baseball games during the 2022-23 athletic year.

"We are excited to announce our partnership with HomeTown Ticketing and offer a digital ticketing platform that will streamline our game-day environment and fan experience," said Athletic Director Joey Higginbotham. "We believe this will allow UMO athletics to efficiently promote our home events and increase attendance this coming year."

Fans will be able to purchase tickets online for athletic events at our website. The tickets can also be found under the 'Fan Zone' tab on the main page of the athletic website. Hometown Ticketing allows fans to print tickets at home or use mobile entry tickets at the gate. Fans are encouraged to download the HomeTown Fan App, available for both iOS and Android devices. Current Mount Olive students, faculty and staff members will still be admitted free of charge with a valid school ID.

Athletic events will be added to the page in the coming weeks for the fall season.

All tickets for University of Mount Olive athletic events are general admission. Ticket prices for events are as follows:

• Adult - $8
• Kids (6 and under) – Free

The annual Mt. Olive Pickle Classic is excluded from these prices listed above and will be available later this year.
