What are the Mountaineer Maniacs?

The Mountaineer Maniacs are the largest student organization on campus and the premiere student group for Mountaineer athletics. We are the official student section for WVU sports. The organization supports Mountaineer athletic teams and helps promote good sportsmanship as well as Mountaineer pride and tradition.  Our organization is co-advised by the Division of Student Life and the WVU Athletic Department.

My friend doesn’t attend WVU. Can I bring them to the football game?

If there are additional student tickets available after the request and claim periods, you will have the opportunity to purchase one guest ticket during the on-demand period. Tickets are typically $45-60 each and must be paid for online via major credit card.

All memberships include the Mountaineer Maniacs T-Shirt, 20% apparel discount at the Book Exchange, free attendance to away game watch parties, ability to go on away trips, and all giveaways. Those with Ultimate Membership have 100% chance of getting football tickets if they select the Maniacs option when requesting tickets. Maniac memberships are nonrefundable

Do I have to sign up for the Maniacs every year?

Yes. Upperclassmen can sign up late in the spring semester for the following year. There will be an announcement posted on MIX, and current Maniacs will receive an e-mail. New freshmen can sign up at the information fair at New Student Orientation or at the form on our website.

Where is your office located?

Our office is located in the Student Orgs wing of the Mountainlair. We are right in front of the Career Services Center.

What are your office hours?

Our office hours are 10:00 AM-2:00 PM Monday-Friday. Please note that we do not maintain regular office hours during University recess and the summer. 

How do I get basketball tickets?

The WVU Men's Basketball student ticketing process is similar to that of the football ticketing process (see "How do I get football tickets?" above to get a general sense of the process). There will be a request phase, claim phase, and on-demand phase (if tickets are unclaimed during the claim phase). Pay close attention to your mix email account for information each week surrounding when each phase begins and whether or not you were selected in the ticketing lottery. Information on attendance numbers, student section seating, and other information about the specifics on this basketball season can be found in the link above.
