PART 3: STUDENT ADMISSION

Students who are not also regular employees of NMSU, and who are enrolled in at least one credit hour at NMSU-Las Cruces, or at an NMSU community college that has paid a negotiated fee for its students, and affiliated students for whom a negotiated fee has been paid on their behalf, will be admitted to intercollegiate athletic events on the NMSU campus free of charge, with the exception of conference or NCAA tournaments. NMSU employees are not eligible for free admission even if also registered as students. Enrollment status may be verified though an electronic scan of each student ID.

PART 4: POST-SEASON TOURNAMENT TICKETS

Demand for post-season tournament tickets often exceeds the number of tickets made available to NMSU.  Accordingly, the Department of Athletics is responsible for developing and coordinating a plan for obtaining and selling the NMSU ticket allotment for the post-season tournament. NMSU is not obligated to provide a ticket allocation for any individual or group.  All parties who are not served by a university allocation of tickets will be responsible for getting their own post-season tournament tickets from the host institution.

PART 5: TICKET SCALPING PROHIBITED

Ticket scalping consists of selling, offering for sale or attempting to sell any ticket, privilege, license, admission or pass to any college athletic event at a price greater than the price charged at the place of admission or printed on the ticket.  Ticket scalping relating to NMSU intercollegiate athletic events, and related to tickets procured by or through NMSU, is prohibited.
