Ticket Sale Policy Announced For East-West Basketball Games

Waterloo School District officials have announced ticket and admission procedures for the upcoming high school basketball games between cross-town rivals East and West.

The varsity doubleheader is being played at East High School's Fred J. Miller Gymnasium on Tuesday, Dec. 3. The girls game is scheduled to begin promptly at 6 PM. Afterward, the boys game will start no more than 25 minutes following the completion of the girls’ game (at approximately 7:30-7:45 PM).

According to district officials, the doors to the gym will be closed at 8:30 PM. After that, no one will be admitted into the facility.

Doors will open at 5:15 PM, prior to the girls game. In order to reduce congestion, West fans should enter the gymnasium using the Main Entrance (Door 1) and East fans will enter through the Athletic Entrance (Door 8).

Tickets for the doubleheader went on sale Thursday.

Ticket Purchasing Procedures For Students:

• ALL high school students must purchase a ticket at their respective school's business office prior to 1 PM on game day. NO tickets to high school students will be sold at the door. Tickets for students with an I.D. are $4, however some restrictions may apply (see school for restrictions).
• East High students with an activity pass may present that pass at the business office by the 1 PM deadline on Dec. 3 to receive their ticket at no cost. West High activity pass holders must still purchase a ticket, since the games are an East High School home event.
