James Madison University announced on March 16 that the Athletic Ticket Office has opened a ticket request form for the Dukes’ NCAA First Round women’s basketball matchup against Kentucky. The game is scheduled to take place in Morgantown, West Virginia, at Hope Coliseum on Saturday, March 21, with tipoff set for 2:30 p.m.
Fans interested in attending must submit their ticket requests by 10 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, March 17. The university said that submitting a request does not guarantee a ticket and that orders will be filled based on Duke Club Priority Point ranking. Students are also required to use the same request form, with Student Duke Club members receiving priority consideration.
According to the announcement, fans will be notified by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on March 17 if their ticket requests have been fulfilled. At that time, payment will be processed for those who receive tickets. If James Madison advances to the second round of the tournament, fans who were allocated first-round tickets will automatically be charged for second-round tickets upon advancement.
The university clarified that it will not provide travel accommodations such as transportation or hotels for either round; these arrangements are the responsibility of individual fans.
This marks JMU’s 14th appearance in the NCAA Championship and its second under Head Coach Sean O’Regan. The Dukes secured an automatic bid after winning their second Sun Belt Conference Championship with a victory over Troy on March 9 in Pensacola, Florida.
