Men's basketball title game tickets available for half price with ticket stub from Big Ten women's tourney

March 9, 2008

Indianapolis, Ind. -- The Horizon League announced Sunday (March 9) a special offer for fans interested in attending Tuesday night's (March 11) Horizon League Men's Basketball Championship at Butler University's Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Top seed Butler and second seed Cleveland State University meet for the Horizon League title and the League's entry into the NCAA Tournament. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. (Eastern time).

Fans can purchase tickets to the game for $10 apiece when they bring ticket stubs from this past week's Big Ten Conference women's basketball tournament to the box office at Hinkle Fieldhouse or Clowes Memorial Hall. The $10 represents half the price of a regular adult ticket for the tournament.

The Hinkle Fieldhouse Ticket Office is open from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, with the Clowes ticket office open from 10 a.m-5 p.m both days. Tickets also are available at the Fieldhouse on Tuesday night, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The special offer does not apply to tickets purchased through Ticketmaster or ticketmaster.com

Butler won the Horizon League regular-season title and carries a 28-3 overall record into Tuesday's game. The Bulldogs, who are ranked 14th in the current Associated Press national poll and 12th in last week's ESPN/USA Today coaches' canvass, meets a Cleveland State team that stands at 21-11 overall.
