Ticket campout planned for Sept. 26 outside of the Richie Center

The DU men’s hockey season doesn’t officially begin until Oct. 17, when the Renssalaer Red Hawks will take the ice against the Pioneers in Magness Arena. For the students, however, one of the most important moments of the season will take place on Sept. 26.

The annual DU hockey campout is one of the most well-known and popular traditions around campus, and will continue on Sept. 27 as students raise tents and gather around outside the Ritchie Center.

Anxious fans will begin assembling on Sept. 26 in the morning, ready to brave whatever unpredictable weather Colorado has to throw at them, but the appeal is substantial and the prize coveted: discounted season tickets to the seven time NCAA Champions’ 2014-15 season.
Last year the allotted 500 student season tickets sold out in less than two hours, emphasizing the strong student support for the campout and chance at discounted tickets.
Tickets go on sale for $50 at 8 a.m. Sept. 27, where head coach Jim Montgomery and the rest of the Pioneer hockey team will come out to greet their fans. The Denver Pep band will also be in attendance to serenade the crowd with an early rendition of the DU fight song.
