OMAHA, Neb.--A new year begins a new quest and the road to the 2008 NCAA Division I Women's VolleyballChampionship travels once again through Omaha, as Qwest Center Omaha will host college volleyball's grandest event next December.

Tickets for the 2008 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship will go on sale on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2008, exclusively through the Qwest Center Omaha and Ticketmaster. All-session prices have been set at $59 for lower bowl seating or $49 for upper bowl seating, while other service and handling fees will be charged by Ticketmaster depending on your local outlet. The National Semifinals will take place on Thursday, Dec. 18, with the National Championship Match set for Saturday, Dec. 20.

Fans nationwide can purchase tickets by visiting www.Ticketmaster.com or calling or visiting their local Ticketmaster outlet. In Nebraska, tickets can be purchased at the Qwest Center Omaha Box Office, all Ticketmaster retail locations, including selected Younkers and Bakers stores, or by calling Ticketmaster charge-by-phone in Omaha (402-422-1212) or Lincoln (402-475-1212).

All tickets available to the public will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. This system provides volleyball fans across the country an opportunity to purchase championship tickets. The only way fans will be able to purchase tickets is through the Qwest Center Omaha Box Office or Ticketmaster, as no tickets will be available through the University of Nebraska Ticket Office.

Two years ago, the NCAA set two single-match attendance records, including a sellout crowd of 17,209 for the championship match between Stanford and Nebraska. Ticket sales are expected to be brisk once again, as the NCAA Volleyball Championship has enjoyed its two highest attendance totals over the last two years.
