Frederick Flying Cows Tickets
One of the best aspects of the Flying Cows is the affordable ticket prices. General admission tickets are $15 for Adults and $10 for Children. This allows you to sit on any side of the court in the bleacher-type seating area. This can be literally the 1st row behind the team bench, and it’s never far from the action.
You can also choose baseline and bench tickets. These are assigned seats in chairs right on the floor. The baseline seats on the player’s bench side are $50, and courtside seats on the opposing side are $40. The game will be played right before you, and you’ll want to pay attention to stray balls and players!
Courtside seats also include access to the Hospitality Room on the 2nd floor (see below). Here, you can purchase alcoholic drinks and food.
The Flying Cows have Season Ticket plans as well.

The Flying Cows also offers you the opportunity to purchase:
