The Charles Schwab Field Omaha Box Office is located on 13th and Mike Fahey Streets and opens at 10:00 AM on event days. Everyone two (2) years and older must have a ticket for entry. Infants and toddlers under the age of two (2) may be required to purchase a ticket for specific events, such as NCAA hosted games. Reserved seat tickets for the College World Series will be accepted at all gates. Re-entry is allowed for certain events including the College World Series. Guests must have ticket scanned when exiting and re-scanned upon re-entry.

If twelve or more guests are at the Box Office waiting to purchase tickets at the time of the initial box office on-sale, a lottery will be held to form the line.

The lottery system has been in place since Charles Schwab Field first opened to provide the fairest ticket sales process possible to all guests. By removing the incentive for guests to arrive early, the lottery saves guests time and significantly decreases the chance for third-party vendors to be the first in line. Third-party vendors have historically paid people to arrive hours before a sale in order to ensure a space at the front of the line.

Thirty minutes before tickets go on sale, each person, over the age of sixteen, in line will be assigned a number. That number will also be put into a box. A Team Member will then randomly draw a number from the box.

The person holding that number becomes the first person in line. The remaining guests will fall in line behind according to their number. For example, if number 5 is drawn, the person assigned number 5 becomes the first in line, followed by the persons assigned 6, 7, 8, and so forth. This continues until the highest number originally handed out is reached. After that, the person assigned number 1 will join the line, followed by the remaining people in the order of the numbers they are holding with the person having number 4 becoming the last in line.

Anyone who arrives after the lottery numbers are handed out would join the line behind the last person holding a lottery number.
