How Much Do Tickets to OU Credit Union O'rena Cost?

OU Credit Union O'rena ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the opponent or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from volleyball and general campus events to marquee conference basketball matchups.

For Oakland University men’s and women’s basketball, tickets are approximately $10–$40, with marquee opponents, rivalry games, and conference matchups trending toward the higher end of the range. Seat location also matters, with lower rows and stronger midcourt views typically carrying more demand.

For volleyball and general campus events, tickets are typically lower, often starting around $5–$15. Pricing can still vary based on the event, day of week, and expected attendance.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection for high-demand games. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining seats can become harder to find, especially for conference games and matchups with stronger demand.

Getting Ready for Your OU Credit Union O'rena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where parking, walking time, and event crowds can all affect your arrival.

  • Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for on-campus parking and the walk into the arena, particularly for higher-demand conference games.
  • Build extra time into your transit plan. Arriving early is especially helpful for events with stronger demand, when campus parking and walk-in time can take longer.
  • Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
