Final Four Ticket Orders Encouraged

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Kansas State fans are strongly encouraged to submit contingent orders for 2010 Final Four tickets prior to the 12 p.m. Friday priority seating deadline, athletics department officials emphasized today.

"We are excited to be playing this week in the Sweet 16 and we know our players and coaches are focused on what promises to be a very challenging matchup with Xavier and then a potential Elite Eight game with Syracuse or Butler," said Associate Athletics Director Chad Weiberg. "However, we encourage Wildcat fans to plan ahead so that if we are fortunate enough to advance to Indianapolis we can offer a great fan experience and customer service for what would be a very busy and exciting event."

K-State's award-winning alumni association will again offer exclusive travel packages if the Wildcats advance to Indianapolis. In order to place a contingent order for tickets or travel packages, fans are reminded of the following procedures:

Each institution advancing to Indianapolis is assigned and financially responsible for several hundred hotel rooms for four-night minimum stays at official NCAA Final Four hotels.The K-State Alumni Association will partner with Premiere College Sports to provide exclusive hotel and travel packages if K-State advances to the Final Four. This will be the only method for Ahearn members/fans to access the official K-State hotel block. For information on these travel packages, which include flights, hotel, transfers and a Final Four ticket, or just a hotel/transfers and a ticket, visit www.k-statesportstravel.com.
