Hockey and basketball generally run from October through March or April, while other events are scheduled year-round.

Location & Transportation

Magness Arena is located at 2201 E. Asbury Ave., Denver, CO 80208 — on the University of Denver campus within the Daniel L. Ritchie Center for Sports and Wellness.

Transit: The University of Denver is served by RTD light rail, and University of Denver Station on the E and R Lines is within walking distance of campus. That makes transit a practical option for reaching the Ritchie Center and Magness Arena, especially for high-demand games when campus parking is busier.

Driving and Parking: On-campus parking is available in University of Denver lots and garages near the Ritchie Center. For major hockey games, expect nearby lots to fill before puck drop. Parking availability and routing can also be affected by ongoing campus construction, so arriving early is the best approach.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are convenient to the Ritchie Center entrances. After games, expect some congestion and short waits as crowds leave the arena and campus area.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available throughout the surrounding south Denver area and along the I-25 corridor. Additional hotel options are available in downtown Denver, which is a short drive or light-rail ride from the University of Denver campus.

How Much Do Tickets to Magness Arena Cost?

Magness Arena ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Denver Pioneers basketball to marquee college hockey matchups and concerts.

For Denver Pioneers college hockey, tickets are approximately $20–$75 or more, with premium Gold Club seating and marquee matchups priced higher. Opponent strength, ranked NCHC rivals, seat location, and demand all influence pricing.

For Denver Pioneers college basketball, tickets typically range from about $10–$35. Lower-demand games can offer strong value, while better seat locations and higher-profile matchups can raise prices.

For concerts and special events, pricing varies by event and typically starts around $30 and up. Artist demand, event format, seat location, and premium hospitality access can all affect the final ticket price.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat selection and pricing for high-demand hockey games. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially for premium seats and marquee matchups.

Magness Arena Seating Guide

Magness Arena’s seating layout is worth understanding before you buy because its steep, compact single-bowl design keeps fans close to the playing surface. Seating surrounds the ice sheet or court, with premium Gold Club hospitality positioned between the blue lines for hockey.

Best Seats at Magness Arena

• Best value: Upper rows and end or corner sections are typically the most affordable, while still keeping fans inside the arena’s compact bowl and close to the game atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Lower rows directly around the glass for hockey and courtside or lower-bowl rows for basketball offer the most immediate view of the action.
• Best overall experience: Center-ice and center-court sections along the sidelines provide the strongest balance of sightline, proximity, and arena energy.
• Premium and suite options: The Gold Club is the premium hospitality area, located between the blue lines with associated amenities.
• For groups: Group seating can be arranged through the university’s ticketing, and planning early helps when demand is higher for major hockey games.
• General admission: Some events and sections may be offered as general admission, while reserved seating is standard for marquee hockey games.

Getting Ready for Your Magness Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an indoor campus arena where major hockey games can bring busy parking and routing around the Ritchie Center.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. For major hockey games, arrive early because campus lots can fill and construction can affect parking and routing.
• Wear the right footwear. Steep bowl seating involves stairs, and the arena has standard concourse walking, so supportive shoes are helpful.
• Dress in layers. Magness Arena is indoors, but ice-level and lower sections can feel cool during hockey games.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Major hockey games can create heavier parking demand around campus, so extra time helps you get from the lot or light rail to the Ritchie Center without rushing.
• Know your entrance. Looking at your entry point into the Ritchie Center complex before you arrive helps you navigate to the arena bowl efficiently.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
