All College Students Get in FREE at Winter Break Games
Shocker Athletics is running a new Home For The Holidays Student Ticket Deal that will allow all college students - even if they don't attend Wichita State - to get into Shocker men's basketball games for free during the winter break.
If your college-age kids are in town over the break, have them come be an honorary Shocker by attending a game! They just need to present their college ID at the Shocker Ticket Office when doors open on gamedays.
This deal will be honored for the following games:
- Dec. 22 vs Texas Southern
- Dec. 31 vs ECU
- Jan. 5 vs Cincinnati
- Jan. 14 vs Tulsa
Tickets for all Shocker Women's games are free the entire season to all college-aged students through our K-College Initiative.
Women's Basketball Gets in the Holiday Spirit TONIGHT!
