EAST LANSING, Mich. - Jan. 4 - Fans wishing to purchase advance tickets for the 2002 Michigan High School Athletic Association Lower Peninsula Individual Wrestling Finals, March 7-9, at The Palace of Auburn Hills, may do so by mail order only through the MHSAA office beginning Monday (Jan. 7).

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 seat. All-tournament tickets are $35 each, and a purchaser will be able to purchase up to ten tickets per division for each mail order form submitted. The ticket price includes in and out parking privileges at The Palace. All tickets will be mailed by Feb. 26, unless special handling is requested at a charge of $6 per order.

Spectators ordering tickets by 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 earlier than January 7, and no later than February 1 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 Palace of Auburn Hills Box Office and TicketMaster outlets statewide. Single-session tickets are priced at $8 each, and all-tournament tickets are available for $40, which include in and out parking privileges. Advance tickets purchased through The Palace of Auburn Hills Box Office or TicketMaster will also be assessed a service fee.

Upper bowl general admission tickets will also be available at The Palace of Auburn Hills Box Office only on the days of the event. General admission tickets will be priced at $7 per session, which includes in and out parking privileges.
