Tennessee softball hosts first round of NCAA regional. Here's how to score tickets to see Lady Vols

Softball fans have the chance to see the Lady Vols make history Friday after the team earned the highest NCAA tournament seeding in program history Sunday as the No. 3 national seed.

Now the big question for those fans, if they didn't plan ahead, is how to score tickets.

The Lady Vols (40-10) have won back-to-back SEC regular-season championships and will host both the NCAA regional and super regional, should they advance.

Tennessee will host Dayton, Miami (Ohio) and Virginia in a double-elimination regional at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium. The Lady Vols play Dayton (33-19) at 2:30 p.m. Friday, and Miami (48-7) and Virginia (32-18) play in the first game at noon Friday. The elimination game will be the last game on Saturday and the championship will be on Sunday.

A limited of walk-up tickets will be available

There will be a limited number of standing room only tickets available for walkups before each game, according to Assistant Director of Strategic Communications Shane Switzer. Walk-up ticket sales start one hour prior to first pitch, the UT Athletics website states.

Otherwise, you will have to try your luck on a secondary market website. Seat Geek, Ticketmaster, StubHub and TicketCity all show tickets available for Friday's game.
