2003 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball TicketsDALLAS - The Big 12 Conference and the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau announce that the 1,500 premium tickets for the 2003 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship have been sold.
"We're excited about the strong response to bringing the nation's premier collegiate women's volleyball event to Dallas," said Dru Hancock, Big 12 Conference Associate Commissioner. "The premium ticket goal was reached earlier than anticipated and we hope that the volleyball community around the Metroplex, as well as the casual fan, will realize the importance of getting their tickets early."
Many good seats remain for the championship which will be held at Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas. The semifinals will begin at 6:30 p.m. on December 18 and the championship match will take place at 2:30 p.m. on December 20.
Tickets may be purchased at TICKETMASTER.COM, at all Ticketmaster outlets including FIESTA, WHEREHOUSE MUSIC, and FOLEY'S DEPARTMENT STORES. TO CHARGE TICKETS BY PHONE, CALL (214) 373-8000. Groups of 10 or more may purchase tickets by calling American Airlines Center at 214-665-4269.
"Selling 1,500 premium tickets leaves less than 4,000 seats in the lower bowl of the arena," said Tara Green, DCVB Director of Sports Marketing. "Ticket requests have been received from Maine to Hawaii which shows the national appeal of this championship and the city of Dallas."
All-session ticket prices for the two-day event are $35 for adults and $25 for students. If tickets remain, single-session tickets will go on sale the day of the event. Additional information about the championship can be found at www.dallasvb2003.com.
