LAS VEGAS - Students wanting to avoid waiting in lines at Saturday's Runnin' Rebel men's basketball game against Arizona can take advantage of the early ticket pick-up system put in place by the UNLV Athletics Department.

Current students who have their valid Rebel Card can come to the Thomas & Mack Center ticket office to pick up their men's basketball ticket now instead of waiting to get them just prior to tipoff. Also, students can go online and print their tickets from home.

Full-time students are allowed to pick up one ticket at no-charge and can purchase a second ticket for half-price. Part-time students are eligible to purchase up to two tickets for half-price.

Tickets for Saturday's game against Arizona can be picked up Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to tipoff. Those not using the early pick-up system can get their tickets on the day of the game beginning at 9:00 a.m. until tipoff at the Thomas & Mack Center ticket office.

Early student ticket pick-up can be done before each home game. The schedule of pick-up dates for the remaining Runnin' Rebel home games is below.
