The tickets can be ordered by calling 1-800-CAT-PAWS (884-PAWS) in Columbia or by going online to mutigers.com. They can also be purchased at the Mizzou Arena Ticket Office.

Tickets for the game, which will be played at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, range in price from $44 to $62.

This will be the first of a four-year resumption of the series, with each game through the 2010 season to take place in St. Louis, with the potential for more years to be added.
