Ninety-seven percent of the Gophers’ basketball season tickets — or 9,200 — have been sold, plus 2,200 student tickets. About 600 obstructed-view seats still are available

Any one else excited?

Student tickets for fall and winter sports are now on sale at the bookstore in Coffman Memorial Union. Last year, tickets were also on sale at the State Fair. However, due to logistical issues, ticket orders from the state fair were not processed until October. So if you like knowing for sure that you have tickets more than a few weeks before the season starts, the book store is your best bet.

Tickets for the first-round game, which tips at 8:30 p.m. (CDT) (Tuesday), are available for purchase immediately via Minnesota’s official athletics website, www.gophersports.com. The Minnesota Athletics Ticket office will begin selling tickets over the phone at 612-624-8080 or 1-800-U-GOPHER and in person at the Mariucci Arena box office Monday morning at 9 a.m. Tickets are priced at $5 for student general admission and $20 for reserved seats.

Apparently, student tickets are only available in person. At the time this was originally posted, the best available online seats were row 9 at center court. Its hard to beat that for $20.
