RAPID CITY, S.D. --- South Dakota Mines Athletics Director Joel Lueken is pleased to announce the partnership between the Hardrockers and HomeTown Ticketing, announced from the King Center in Rapid City, South Dakota, earlier this week.
 
The Hardrockers will utilize HomeTown Ticketing as their official digital ticketing system provider allowing fans to purchase tickets, event passes and season packages completely online.
 
"The HomeTown Ticketing team is excited to be serving South Dakota Mines as they implement a new digital ticketing system for all of their Hardrocker athletics events," said Hometown Ticketing CEO Ryan Hart. "With our support, we are certain that this digital ticketing will help to streamline their events and simplify the experience for all of their attendees."

HomeTown Ticketing is the leading digital ticketing provider in most collegiate spaces, serving schools, districts, conferences, and associations. A professional-level and fully automated ticketing solution, HomeTown's in-house developed, proprietary ticketing platform is tailored specifically to the needs of schools and governing bodies.
 
"We plan to have this fully in place before the Hardrockers' first home event this fall," Lueken said. "This is an excellent opportunity to allow easy access for anyone wanting to join in on the Hardrocker Experience. Simply by logging onto the Hardrocker Athletics website (www.gorockers.com) and clicking on 'tickets' will start our fans on that journey."
 
Tickets are now on sale on the Hardrocker Athletic Website. Single game tickets for football, volleyball and men's and women's basketball are available to order as are general admission season tickets for all three.
