Early Bird Ticket Sales Underway For L.P. Individual Wrestling Finals

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Jan. 11 - Fans wishing to purchase advance tickets for the 2001 Michigan High School Athletic Association Lower Peninsula Individual Wrestling Finals, March 8-10, at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, may now do so my mail order only through the MHSAA office.

The "early bird" ticket sales program allows the discounted purchase of all-tournament tickets, giving the bearer admission to all five sessions of the event, reserving the same upper or lower bowl armchair seat. All-tournament tickets are $25 each, and a purchaser will be able to purchase up to ten tickets per division for each mail order form submitted. All tickets will be mailed by March 1, unless special handling is requested at a charge of $4 per order.

Spectators ordering tickets my mail must designate the wrestling division they prefer to watch, which will result in their ticket assignment being directly in view of the mats being used for that competition.

Orders must be postmarked no later than February 9 to qualify for the early bird purchase plan.

Early bird tickets are available by mail order only through the MHSAA office - no telephone or fax orders will be accepted. Checks or money orders must be made payable to MHSAA, and must accompany the order form. An order form can be found on the MHSAA Web Site - www.mhsaa.com.

Single-session tickets will go on sale beginning February 19 through the Joe Louis Arena Box Office and TicketMaster outlets statewide. Single-session tickets are priced at $6 each, and all-tournament tickets are available for $30. Advance tickets purchased through the Joe Louis Arena Box Office or TicketMaster will also be assessed a service fee.

Upper bowl general admission tickets will also be available at the Joe Louis Arena Box Office only on the days of the event. General admission tickets will be priced at $5 per session.
