RENO, Nev. – In preparation for the 2021-22 athletic season and the return of the Wolf Pack faithful to its home events, Nevada Athletics is pleased to introduce its Ticket Sales and Donor Services team.

The Ticket Sales and Donor Services team is part of the Wolf Pack Athletic Association, which was launched in October 2020 to provide a more seamless experience for Wolf Pack donors, fans and alumni and to grow support for our more than 400 student-athletes. The Wolf Pack Athletic Association (WPAA) is a re-brand and re-organization of Nevada Athletics development, tickets, special events and alumni outreach.

With Assistant Athletic Director for Sales Kevin Henley at the lead, the team has already made an impact towards filling Mackay Stadium since the April 16 announcement of season-ticket renewals and deposits being open. In addition to ticket sales for all Wolf Pack teams and special events, the team also works with friends of the Wolf Pack to secure gifts in support of Nevada Athletics.

"We are thrilled to bring on this dynamic and talented group," said Athletic Director Doug Knuth. "The team's energy and enthusiasm for Wolf Pack Athletics is really strong, and we look forward to them providing Wolf Pack Nation with the highest level of customer service."

Nevada Football season ticket holders from 2019 may contact members of the team or email wolfpackticketinfo@unr.edu for information on renewing their season tickets for 2021. Fans who wish to place a deposit on new season tickets for the 2021 season can do so for just $50 by visiting www.nevadawolfpack.com/FBTicketDeposit.

Season ticket information for the 2021-22 Wolf Pack Men's Basketball and Women's Basketball campaigns will be announced soon.
