Pac-12 basketball tournament semifinals and final sell out, resale tickets in high demand

In only its first year at the new T-Mobile Arena, the Pac-12 announced that it has sold out tickets for the final two sessions of the 2017 Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament Presented by New York Life. The final two sessions – the semifinals and championship games – will be played on Friday and Saturday respectively. Standing room only tickets for these sessions can be purchased online at pac-12.com/tickets and at the T-Mobile Arena Box Office.

“Our first year at T-Mobile Arena has already been a great success,” said Pac-12 Chief Marketing Officer Danette Leighton. “We are gratified with the growth of tournament here in Las Vegas and thrilled to create a championship environment befitting the high quality of our basketball teams and talented student-athletes.”
