How to get tickets for semifinals at the UNI-Dome
Tickets for the championship games are being managed by the University of Northern Iowa. They're available online and cost $12.50 total — $10 for the ticket, $2 to UNI for parking, and $0.50 service fee from UNI.
Thursday's tickets are good for the entire day, since the UNI-Dome will not empty out between games. On Friday, tickets can be bought for either both the Class 2A and 3A games, or just the Class 5A title game, as the UNI-Dome will be emptied out between the 3A and 5A games. UNI and the IHSAA have a no re-entry policy. If you leave the UNI-Dome for any reason, you'll need to buy another ticket to re-enter.
