Bill Frack ticket question

I am looking at coming down for the tournament or at least the weekend games. Is one ticket good for each days games or do you need a ticket for each game? I have called the ticket office and left several messages as well as tweeting them but no response.
When I look to buy online it only shows where you can purchase for the Falcon games of the tournament but I'd like to watch the other teams as well.

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but my guess would be ... if you buy a ticket, it's good for both games on that day. For example, if you buy a ticket for the UMKC game on Nov. 19, that ticket is also good for the Green Bay-Murray State game on that same day. There's no way they would sell separate tickets for Green Bay v Murray State.
Again, I'm just guessing, but I'm about 99% confident in that guess.

I finally got an answer from the box office. You would need to buy a ticket to each superstar game. If you enter for the three o'clock game you will need to leave and re-enter with a new ticket for the 6 o'clock tip.
I thought it would be a cool weekend to come down and enjoy some college hoops but not with that asinine policy.

That is nuts...who would want to pay for each separate game?

Why in god's name would they do that!? That cannot possibly be right, is it?
Who the hell is going to be paying money for tickets to Green Bay-Murray State in Bowling Green, Ohio?
That is beyond ludicrous...

Must be cheap tickets for this event otherwise the arena will be empty. I can't believe any of those schools travel real well. 100 each at most?

Are you @thevannzee on Twitter? If so, I read the ticket office response as you could buy one ticket each day and attend both games.

Yes, that's me.
So I called them at 11 and spoke to a guy who told me that policy about leaving and coming back in for the second game so I asked to speak to a supervisor. He connected me to a female who told me the same thing.
Later, unable to believe otherwise, I tweeted them and got the answer mentioned above.
Needless to say, on the date of the challenge I will be carrying a printed copy of that tweet with me. It did leave a someone poor opinion of the ticketing staff in my mind.

This thread is so BGSU. Talk to a human, get one answer. Go on Twitter, get another.

I apologize for any confusion related to the Bill Frack Tournament. One ticket WILL be good for both games in a given day. We will have that information in press releases on the lead-up to the tournament as well.

There's no way. One ticket HAS to be good for both games in a day. You probably talked to a confused student worker on the phone. Also, you're probably the only person in the world who is interested in watching Murray State play UMKC, but that's another subject.
EDIT: And, of course, while I was typing up my reply, the SID (who undoubtedly had nothing to do with this confusion) replied with the answer. Less than a month until Murray State plays UMKC!

Thanks Sid for chiming in.
I didn't think there was any way the separate tickets would have been the policy,but glad to have it cleared up.
