(TUCSON, AZ) Arizona Athletics wants to see 5,000 fans pack McKale for Thursday’s WNIT home game vs. Idaho. Today the Athletics Department announced several promotions to help accomplish that goal.
A limited amount of free tickets will be available to UA students. UA students can claim these tickets by bringing their CatCard to the McKale Ticket Office during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). After receiving their ticket, UA students are encouraged to enter McKale through the ZonaZoo entrance located on the northwest side of the facility. Arizona Athletics will host a ZonaZoo Spring Kickoff event prior to the game. This event will be held inside the courtside club, located on the bottom level of McKale, underneath the ZonaZoo seating section. The ZonaZoo Spring Kickoff is to celebrate the excitement of the current women’s basketball season and launch the 2019-20 ZonaZoo campaign. Free food from El Charro will be available to the first 100 UA students. The ZonaZoo Spring Kickoff starts at 5:30 p.m.
After the ZonaZoo Spring Kickoff, UA students are encourage to sit (or stand) together in the ZonaZoo section with the pep band. Raffle tickets will be distributed to UA students in the ZonaZoo section. A variety of prizes will be distributed at halftime, but to be eligible to win UA students must be in the ZonaZoo section.
The Athletics Department is also launching a military donation program. Fans who want to support women’s basketball in the WNIT, but can’t attend the game can purchase tickets that will be donated to local military personnel. The deadline to participate in this program is Thursday by noon.
Thursday’s game begins at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Free parking is available in campus surface lots starting at 5 p.m. The Cherry garage will charge $5 per vehicle. A limited amount of reserved tickets are available for $10. Regular adult general admission tickets are $8. Kids 3-12 and adults 55+ can purchase tickets for $5. Fans are encouraged to avoid the gameday rush at the box office and purchase tickets in advance of Thursday’s game.
Lastly, 2019-20 women’s basketball season ticket deposits are now available. This is a great option for those looking to get an early start to being a women’s basketball season ticket holder next season. Deposits are $40 per seat and can be applied to new season tickets or renewals. New season ticket holders will receive a call this summer to assist with seat selection.
