The Big 12 Conference has announced that a limited number of tickets will be made available for the 2016 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship, scheduled for March 9-12 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo.

That tradition continues in 2016 with an added presale opportunity (while supplies last) on February 1.

“We are excited to offer this general public sale opportunity for our men’s basketball championship,” noted Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby. “The fans from our institutions and those in Kansas City do a phenomenal job supporting this event and we look forward to playing more great games in front of a full house at T-Mobile Center.”

“T-Mobile Center is honored to serve as the host venue for the Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship for the eighth time in 2016,” said Brenda Tinnen, T-Mobile Center General Manager and Senior Vice President. “Together with our partners from Visit KC and the Kansas City Sports Commission, we look forward to welcoming student-athletes and fans from throughout Big 12 country to our region.”
