LIMITED NUMBER OF NCAA WOMEN'S FINAL FOUR® TICKETS RELEASED FOR SALE IN ST. LOUIS

AREA RESIDENTS HAVE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT ON APRIL 5 AND 7

ST. LOUIS – March 27, 2009 – The NCAA and the St. Louis Organizing Committee are providing St. Louis area residents the opportunity to attend the 2009 NCAA Women's Final Four. A limited number of tickets have become available enabling organizers to offer them for sale in the St. Louis market beginning at 10 a.m. today (March 27). To purchase these tickets, fans can log on to www.ticketmaster.com or visit the Scottrade Center box office, which is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. (Tickets are available through the internet and box office only.) Tickets cost $162 and provide admission to the two national semifinal games on Sunday, April 5 and the national championship game on Tuesday, April 7 at Scottrade Center. Additional handling fees may apply.

Originally, tickets allotted to the public sold out through an application process conducted last summer. But with the down economy impacting travel by groups, the NCAA and SLOC are now able to give local fans an unprecedented chance to obtain tickets.

"Extraordinary circumstances are giving us an extraordinary opportunity to provide St. Louisans a way to attend the Women's Final Four," said Missy Slay, executive director of the SLOC. "We hope many in our local community will take advantage of this very special opportunity to experience the atmosphere inside Scottrade Center and create memories that will last for years to come."
