Columbia, MO – Officials at the University of Missouri said Monday that season tickets for the first basketball season at the new Paige Sports Arena have sold out.
The school says season ticket sales increased by more than 26% from last year. Coach Quin Snyder says its evidence of Mizzou fans' devotion to the basketball program.
Once the season starts, 100 general public seat tickets will be available on an individual game basis. The public can also purchase any tickets left over following student ticket pickup dates throughout the season.
A waiting list is available for those still hoping for future season tickets. Fans can call the Tiger Scholarship Fund, at 573-882-0704.
The $75 million arena can hold about 15,000 people total, including private suites and 1,000 club seats.
