By purchasing early through FHSU, you receive a $25 discount from the box-office price of $75. The tournament is being held inside historic Municipal Auditorium in downtown Kansas City for the 20th time this season, with games being played March 1-5.
Â
Tickets can be purchased in the FHSU Athletic Office (Office 138 of Cunningham Hall) on the campus of Fort Hays State University during business hours (8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays) or by calling the office at (785) 628-4050. The tickets will also be available for purchase at Gate 1 during Fort Hays State's final four regular season home contests (January 26 & 28, February 9 & 11).
Â
Games take place over five consecutive days, with seeds seven through 10 playing opening round games on Wednesday, March 1. The second day (March 2) will feature the top two seeds against Wednesday's winners. Quarterfinal games on Friday (March 3) will be No. 3 through No. 6 seed matchups. The semifinals will be on Saturday (March 4) and the Championship games will be on Sunday (March 5).
Â
Adult single-session tickets for the tournament are $20 each. Student single-session tickets are $10 each and children ages 6 and under are FREE. Act fast to take advantage of the cost savings, as supplies are limited through the FHSU Athletics Office.
Â
This is the fourth year the conference will have a 10-team format for both women and men, with all games inside of Municipal Auditorium. Fort Hays State was the lone institution that had both men's and women's teams reach the semifinals at last season's tournament, with the women going on to capture their second MIAA tournament trophy.
