Public Sale of Tickets Begins Monday for OHSAA State Basketball Tournaments
Sales Include Boys and Girls All-Session Books and Girls Single-Session Tickets

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Plenty of all-session and single-session tickets will be available for the 2012 Ohio High School Athletic Association Boys and Girls State Basketball Tournaments, and the public sale of tickets for both tournaments begins Monday, February 13, through Ticketmaster or in person at The Ohio State University’s Jerome Schottenstein Center, the site of both state tournaments that take place in March.

For the boys state tournament, all-session ticket sales begin Monday at 10:00 a.m. The cost for all-session ticket books is $144 for the Entry and Club Levels of the arena or $120 for the Terrace Level. Single-session ticket sales for the boys tournament begin Monday, March 12, at 10:00 a.m. Single-session tickets are $15 for the Entry and Club Levels and $12 for the Terrace Level. The boys state tournament is March 22, 23 and 24.

All ticket sales — both all-session and single-session — for the girls state basketball tournament also begin on Monday at 10:00 a.m. All-session ticket books cost $64 each and single-session tickets are $10 each. The girls state tournament will be held March 15, 16 and 17, a week earlier than the boys.

Tickets can be purchased in person at Ticketmaster locations (including most Kroger stores), by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000 or by going on-line at ticketmaster.com. Ticketmaster orders will also include applicable service charges.
