With a fan-friendly destination of Miami, the Central Michigan football team's upcoming matchup against Tulsa in the Miami Beach Bowl is best viewed in person.
Purchasing tickets through CMU is the easiest and best way fans and alumni can show support for the Chippewas during the bowl season for two key reasons:
1. Obtaining tickets through Ticket Central directly helps CMU football student-athletes enjoy the best possible bowl experience.
2. Buying tickets through CMU is the only way to ensure seating in CMU sections.
Tickets cost $50 plus a $6 processing fee, and they go on sale at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6. Fans can purchase tickets in person at Ticket Central, by calling 1-888-FIRE-UP2 (3473-872) or visiting cmuchippewas.com. Tickets ordered by phone or online also carry a mailing fee, and a will-call window pickup option is available.
CMU students can show their ID and purchase Miami Beach Bowl tickets for $20. These tickets can be purchased in person at Ticket Central, or by calling and providing a student ID number over the phone. The $6 processing fee will apply to each ticket purchased.
A chance to cheer and help the Chippewas: CMU fans can play an active role in creating a first-class bowl experience for the CMU Chippewas and the Chippewa Marching Band by donating to the Bowl Game Championship Fund. CMU will not receive sufficient revenue from its appearance to cover travel expenses for the team and marching band. All individuals donating $100 or more will receive 2016/17 Chippewa Club membership credit. Go online to learn more about the Bowl Championship Fund or contact the Chippewa Athletic Fund at 989-774-6680.
