COLUMBIA, Mo. -Tickets for the 2008 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships held at the Scottrade Center, March 20-22, in St. Louis, are now available for purchase through the Missouri box office. Available tickets are $120 for all-session pass, and can be ordered by calling 1-800-CAT-PAWS (228-7297) or in person at the Missouri ticket office located on the north side of Mizzou Arena.

The University of Missouri has limited tickets remaining in the upper level, section 301. Fans are encouraged to get their orders in now.

Missouri fans interested in ordering tickets for the 78th annual event must be a member of the Missouri Wrestling Takedown Club. Applications for the Takedown Club are available online , and there is a $50 minimum to join. In addition, Takedown Club members will be required to order a t-shirt with every all-session ticket purchased. T-shirts are available for $20. All orders, for tickets, Takedown Club membership or t-shirts can ONLY be done on the phone or in person at the Missouri Ticket Office. All fans interested in joining the Takedown Club but NOT interested in purchasing NCAA tickets, can submit their Takedown Club registration forms to Kris Kussmann at 359 Hearnes Center, Columbia, MO 65211.

This marks the third time in five years that the city of St. Louis has hosted the prestigious, three-day event. In last season's outing in Detroit, Mich., the nationally-ranked Tiger wrestling team finished the tournament in third place.
