TICKETS AVAILABLE JUNE 14 FOR COASTAL BEND AVIATORS GAME

Tickets for Texas A&M-Kingsville Night at the Coastal Bend Aviators game will go on sale Monday, June 14, at the information desk in the Student Union Building. Members of the university community may purchase tickets for the discounted price of $5 each for the game scheduled for Friday, July 9, at 7:05 p.m. Those coming for tickets will first be issued vouchers, one good for each ticket purchased. Several days prior to the game, the Aviators' staff will print the number of tickets sold. Those paying for vouchers will be notified to pick up the actual tickets.
Like last year, the group from A&M-Kingsville will be seated in the same section. As an added bonus this year, the Aviators will be giving away team pennants to the first 1,500 people to arrive.
Despite some rain, the group that went last year had a great time, so don’t miss out on the fun this year. For more information call Julie at 2590 or e-mail at kajam03@tamuk.edu.
