Bowl Selections to be announced on Sunday, Dec. 4, 2011
Once an invitation is extended to Eastern Michigan University, EMU will receive a large allotment of tickets to satisfy fans. PLEASE DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM OTHER OUTLETS. The following are reasons why EMU fans should purchase bowl tickets through our ticket office:
•Establish a Bowl History: shows future bowls how well the Eagles travel to bowl games.
•Covers Bowl Expenses: revenue generated through tickets sold directly by the University will be used by EMU to offset Bowl Game expenses.
•Best Seats Available: our Ticket Office will be selling the best tickets available along the Eagles' sideline. Obviously, this will give you the ability to sit with fellow EMU fans.
More ticket information will be determined following bowl selections.
