SPECIAL EVENTS: Tech hosts promotions Thursday and Saturday night
Promotions are planned for Tennessee Tech basketball games this week, events that offer discount admission for residents of three counties, people who work in the education field, and youngsters who participate in youth basketball leagues and their families.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Several special promotions are planned this
week when Tennessee Tech hosts Ohio Valley Conference basketball
games in Eblen Center Thursday and Saturday, including a bevy of
money-saving deals for fans of all ages.
Promotions are planned that offer discount admission for residents
of Putnam, Cumberland and White counties, people who work in the
education field, and youngsters who participate in youth basketball
leagues and their families.
The Golden Eagle men host Eastern Illinois on Thursday night (7
p.m.), and on Saturday Tech hosts a crucial doubleheader against
SIU Edwardsville, with the women's teams getting action underway at
5:30 p.m.
Thursday night's game will be the second Putnam County Night in
Eblen Center, offering residents of Putnam County the chance to
purchase tickets for just one dollar each. The first Putnam County
Night, which took place in December at a women's game, resulted in
nearly one-fourth of the crowd taking advantage of the
discount.
The same one dollar offer is set for Saturday's games for
residents of two neighboring counties, when Tech hosts White County
and Cumberland County Night.
Fans simply need to take advantage of the discounted one dollar
admission at the ticket office when they get to the games.
Another large group being offered a special discount for
Saturday's games is the youth basketball players and coaches in the
area, including Vision and Upward, along with the Putnam County
Youth Basketball league. All participating boys and girls and their
team coaches can receive free admission to the doubleheader simply
by wearing their team shirt. In addition, those youth basketball
players can also purchase tickets for their entire family for only
one dollar each. The discount tickets will be available at the
Ticket Office in Eblen Center at the game Saturday.
Finally, persons in the region who work in education (teachers,
administrators) have been invited by the university for the annual
P-16 Night, as guests of TTU President Dr. Phil Oldham. For
additional infomormation on P-16 Night, please contact Debbie Combs
in the President's Office at (931) 372-3241.
For information on any of the other discounted ticket offers,
please contact the Athletics Ticket Office at (931) 372-3940.
