Students pitch tents, wait hours in line for KU tickets
Casey Berner / Staff Photographer Processing close to 3,000 students, Mizzou Arena staff handles the crowed for ticket pickup for the March 6th Mizzou versus Kansas men's basketball game. Students queued through the arena for a chance at picking up a ticket for a single game.
Remaining student tickets for the Missouri Tigers basketball game against the Kansas Jayhawks on March 6 sold out at 2 p.m. today, MU Ticket Representative Brett Pickens said.
Some students pitched tents overnight to assure they would be able to purchase tickets when they went on sale at 8 a.m. today. Pickens said 4,000 tickets for the game were available and that 10 students were still in line when the ticket office sold out this afternoon.
