Know before you go: Badger women's basketball

MADISON, Wis. -- We are so excited to welcome back our Badger Basketball fans back to the Kohl Center for our 2021-22 season, but there a lot of changes since we last had fans in 2020. Here's what you need to know:

Kohl Center Entry / Carry-In Policy

Avoid delays entering the Kohl Center by arriving early. Doors open 60 minutes before each game. Fans are encouraged to review the carry-in policy. Metal detectors will continue to be used as part of the security screening at the Kohl Center, but fans will no longer need to remove cell phones, keys or other personal items as they walk through the detectors. All bags will still be subject to search upon entry.

Download the App!

Be sure to download the Wisconsin Badgers app in the App Store or Google Play store. Fans will enjoy an enhanced user experience and improved Wisconsin Badgers sports schedules, rosters, live stats and videos in the updated app. Thanks to a refined integration with UWBadgers.com, the latest information on your favorite UW sports teams is only a tap away.

Digital Ticketing

The fastest and most convenient way to access your mobile season tickets is by using the Badgers app. Fans who need to download the app for the first time can search "Wisconsin Badgers" in the App Store or Google Play store. To watch a short video about mobile tickets, please visit UWBadgers.com/digitalticketing. Once you download the Badgers app, please follow these simple steps on your smartphone:

Mobile tickets must be downloaded to your mobile wallet in advance of arrival to the Kohl Center. Mobile tickets may also be accessed by logging onto your Wisconsin Athletics ticket account on UWBadgers.com using a web browser on your smartphone, or by clicking on the individual match tickets in your season ticket delivery email on your smartphone.

Print-at-home Tickets

Fans choosing print-at-home tickets will also enjoy easy, contactless entrance to Badgers events. Fans will have their digital tickets emailed to the email address on record with the Athletic Ticket Office. Each ticket must be printed off separately on a standard 8.5x11 sheet of white paper. Print-at-home tickets displayed on a mobile device will not be accepted at the gates.

Ticket Transfer

Cannot attend a game and want to send your mobile tickets to a friend or family member? Or donate your ticket to VetTix? Arriving separately from the rest of your party? Use our newly enhanced Ticket Transfer service. Ticket Transfer works well with the Badgers app and allows you to send your mobile tickets via text message or email for free. For more information, please visit UWBadgers.com/digitalticketing.

Show off your Badger mask!

In accordance with UW-Madison Covid-19 guidelines, all ticketed fans will be required to wear masks at all times when in the Kohl Center, regardless of vaccination status, unless actively eating or drinking. The health and safety of our fans remains our top priority. We will continue to work closely with local and campus health officials to ensure a safe game day experience. UW Fan Policies
