Combination packages start at $38 for adults and $26 for youth. This combination package provides volleyball fans tickets to the first and second rounds as well as regional matches, if Texas is selected to host.
The priority deadline to request the all-session ticket package is Friday, Nov. 15. (The complete combination package will not be available after Nov. 15.) Tickets will be refunded if the Longhorns do not host postseason matches.
