Public Sale Of Individual Wrestling Finals Tickets Begins

EAST LANSING, Mich. –Feb. 5 – Fans wishing to purchase all-session reserved seat tickets for the Michigan High School Athletic Association Individual Wrestling Finals at The Palace of Auburn Hills, March 12-14, may do so beginning Monday (Feb. 9) exclusively through The Palace Box Office.

All-session reserved seat tickets will be sold at a cost of $45 each, plus applicable Palace Box Office handling charges. Tickets can be purchased online at palacenet.com, by phone by calling 248-377-0100, and daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at The Palace Box Office.

Spectators ordering reserved seat tickets should designate the wrestling division they prefer to watch, which will result in their ticket assignment being in full view of the mats being used for that competition. For Divisions 3 and 4, the seats will be on the side of the arena opposite the mat placement, providing an unobstructed view of those mats. To view a seating chart, visit the Wrestling page of the MHSAA Website – mhsaa.com.

Remaining single-session reserved and general admission tickets will go on sale March 10, exclusively through The Palace of Auburn Hills Box Office. Single-session reserved seat tickets are priced at $10 each, and general admission seats in the upper bowl of the arena are priced at $9 per session, which include in and out parking privileges.

The MHSAA is a private, not-for-profit corporation of voluntary membership by over 1,600 public and private senior high schools and junior high/middle schools which exists to develop common rules for athletic eligibility and competition. No government funds or tax dollars support the MHSAA, which was the first such association nationally to not accept membership dues or tournament entry fees from schools. Member schools which enforce these rules are permitted to participate in MHSAA tournaments, which attract approximately 1.6 million spectators each year.
