Omaha: two posted 2027 event weeks, a 7 percent city rate and a buy-three offer

Omaha has two national event windows in summer 2027 that their organizers have already dated. The Men's College World Series is listed by the NCAA for June 18 to 28 at Charles Schwab Field Omaha, and the FIVB lists the pool phase and Round of 16 of the Women's Volleyball World Cup for August 20 to 28, with matches at CHI Health Center Arena. A third Omaha date that stores often plan around, the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting, has no 2027 date on the company's page yet. This page sets the two dated windows against Omaha's own sales tax rate, 1.5 percent local and 7.0 percent in total on the Department of Revenue's July 2026 table, and builds a buy-three, cheapest-free offer in two short runs, one for each window. It leaves the Husker football calendar and the State Fair to the Nebraska page.

A buy-three, cheapest-free plan in two short runs

  1. Before June 17, 2027

    Pick the products the offer covers and keep them to one collection, so the cheapest item in a three-item cart is an item you chose to discount. The NCAA lists the College World Series for June 18 to 28, with open practice on June 17, so open the offer on June 18 and decide in advance whether it ends on June 27 or June 28.

  2. When you write the banner

    Say what the offer is in plain words, buy three and the cheapest is free, and give the end date. Describe it by your own dates and products, since the event's names and marks are not yours to use.

  3. Before you run it a second time

    Wait until the FIVB's August window. The FIVB lists the pool phase and Round of 16 in Omaha, Orlando, Montreal and Quebec City for August 20 to 28, 2027, which leaves about seven weeks after the June run. Use different products so the second run does not teach shoppers to wait.

  4. When you quote prices

    Say that tax is added at checkout. The Department's July 2026 table gives Omaha 7.0 percent in total, but the rate that applies depends on the delivery address, so use the shopper's address and not your own.

  5. Before each summer run

    Check the Department's rate table again. The table you read is the one effective July 1, 2026, so check for a newer one.

  6. If Berkshire posts a 2027 meeting date

    Add it to this calendar and decide whether it deserves a third run. Until the company posts one, the plan has two windows and no more.

Two windows, two short runs

The NCAA lists the College World Series for June 18 to 28 and the FIVB lists Omaha matches for August 20 to 28. Run one buy-three offer for each window and end it with the event, so shoppers do not learn to expect a permanent price.

Questions merchants ask

When is the Men's College World Series in 2027?
The NCAA lists open practice on Thursday, June 17, the first day of the series on Friday, June 18 and the championship series on June 26, June 27 and, if necessary, June 28, 2027, at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. The NCAA marks June 28 as played only if necessary; confirm dates with the NCAA before you print them.

Yes, for part of it. The FIVB says Omaha, Orlando, Montreal and Quebec City host the pool phase and Round of 16 from August 20 to 28, 2027, and Volleyball World names CHI Health Center Arena as the Omaha venue. The final rounds are in Anaheim.
What is the sales tax rate in Omaha?
The Nebraska Department of Revenue's table effective July 1, 2026 lists Omaha at 1.5 percent local and 7.0 percent in total. Confirm the rate for an address with the Department. This is not tax advice.
When is the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting in 2027?
The company's shareholder meeting page showed 2026 information and no 2027 date when we checked, so this page does not give one. Check berkshirehathaway.com for an announcement before you plan around it.
