Student Ticket Distribution Points Start Up Monday MorningFeb. 26, 2006 MILWAUKEE - Tickets for University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee students for this weekend's Horizon League Men's Basketball Championship will go on sale beginning Monday morning at a variety of points around campus. As is true with all Horizon League championship events, students will have to buy tickets. But, UWM students with a valid ID will receive a special student price of $10. Students can purchase just one ticket with their valid ID. Student tickets will be on sale beginning at 9 a.m. at the UWM Ticket Office, located in the new Pavilion. Student tickets will then go on sale at 10 a.m. in the UWM Union near the food court and at noon at the front desk of Sandburg Hall. Each location will then have specific sales hours during the week. The UWM Ticket Office will be open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and then 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Thursday. The office will also be open from 9 a.m.-noon on Friday before closing for the second-round tournament games at the U.S. Cellular Arena. The UWM Union ticket location will focus on selling tickets during the lunch hour, with hours from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 10 a.m.-noon Friday. Finally, tickets will be available at the front desk of Sandburg Hall 24 hours a day until noon on Friday. Students are strongly encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance, though tickets will also be available at the U.S. Cellular Arena prior to the games both Friday and Saturday as supplies remain available. If UWM should advance to the championship game, student tickets for that game would go on sale Sunday. The Panthers won their third-straight Horizon League regular season title and with that have earned homecourt advantage for the league tournament. UWM will play in the semifinals of the tournament Saturday at 6 p.m. against an opponent to be determined.
