MANHATTAN, Kan. - Student tickets for the Thanksgiving weekend K-State men's basketball game against IUPUI at the Sprint Center in Kansas City go on sale Friday at a special price of $10, athletics officials announced today.

K-State students holding ICAT season basketball tickets will have first opportunity to purchase tickets beginning at 9 a.m., Friday at the Athletics Ticket Office in Bramlage Coliseum.  Students with general admission season tickets may purchase tickets beginning on Monday.  All purchases must be done in-person at the ticket office with a valid student ID.  Each student may bring a maximum of 10 IDs.

This will be the third consecutive year the Wildcats have hosted the Holiday Classic presented by Subway in the Sprint Center.  The game tips off at 3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 28.  

Students who purchase a ticket to the game will receive a bonus point in the new rewards program, which encourages student attendance at all home games while creating a priority system for game-day lineup procedures at Bramlage Coliseum for the Kansas game on Jan 30.  Students will receive one point for each men's basketball game attended prior to Jan. 30 for a maximum number of nine points.   The bonus point for the IUPUI game makes it possible to make up a point for missing a home game.
