A new Web site offers one-stop shopping for University of Tennessee athletic tickets.
UTTix.com went online Monday, streamlining the process of purchasing tickets for any Vols or Lady Vols athletic event.
“It’s one-stop shopping for our fans,’’ said Doug Kose, director of sales and marketing.
“You come to UTTix.com, see what’s available, click on it and you’re there.’’
That includes season tickets for football and men’s and women’s basketball.
Currently available are football season and individual tickets, men’s basketball renewals, Lady Vols soccer and volleyball and women’s NCAA basketball first- and second-round games to be played at Thompson-Boling Arena in March.
“We would encourage people to come back every so often and see what’s new as the seasons go along,’’ Kose said.
“We’ll have some different offerings coming out beginning in August.’’
The site includes a stadium seating chart for football tickets and information about donation obligations.
Tickets for postseason events will be available as they arise.
There is a separate link for UT student tickets.
“There’s no clutter,’’ said Jimmy Delaney of the sales and marketing department. “It’s clean and precise: Buy your tickets now.’’
The arena ticket office is still an option for anyone with questions or who wants to speak to a person at 865-656-1200.

Good idea. Poor execution. This site just puts a 'Table of Contents' on the same old system.
It does not improve the end process. The links for student tickets from the main link do not work.
They need to give up on separate departments and move the ticket process in the 21st Century.
Think they need to hire a ticket professional and real system to run the process for both inefficient athletic departments.

That is how you end up with Ticketmaster and nothing sucks worse then that organization. I would rather have inefficient than criminal.

And the site where it redirects you to buy the tickets either loads extremely slowly or doesn't work and all.

I called the ticket office last week about student tickets. The lady said that a new ticket distribution system is being implemented this year regarding student tickets. She said student tickets wouldn't be available for purchase until Aug 19 or thereabouts. That could explain the student ticket site not functioning, although you'd assume they would have this information posted up there for reference...but alas...
