Quad Cities - Today, the Quad Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau and iWireless Center in conjunction with the MVC/MAC Challenge announced a special group rate for all area schools interested in attending the Sunday, December 13 games at the iWireless Center.

For schools to order the group tickets at $5 each, they must contact Lindsey Lobur at the iWireless Center at 309-277-1356 or by email at llobur@iwirelesscenter.com prior to the December 13 game. School group tickets must be purchased directly from Lindsey Lobur.
Tickets for the general public are currently on sale for the exciting doubleheader at $7 each and can be purchased online www.iwirelesscenter.com or at the iWireless Center box office prior to the game or on game day.
"We had spoken with several area Athletic Directors about the MVC/MAC Challenge and we were approached with the idea to create a group rate for schools to attend the games," said Charlotte Doehler-Morrison, VP Marketing & Communications, Quad Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau. "That got the ball rolling and through the support of the MVC and iWireless Center we were able to create group discounts that would give many schools the opportunity to attend the games together. This is a great opportunity for athletes and students to see these talented players in action. We also hope Alumni from Northern Iowa and Illinois State will also be on hand to cheer on their teams."
The MVC/MAC Challenge is a great way to catch a glimpse of the exciting basketball action to come during the Missouri Valley Conference Women's Basketball Championship Hoops in the Heartland on March 10-13, 2016. Tickets for Hoops in the Heartland go on sale December 12. Tickets are $60 for reserved all-session tickets, or $16 and $10 for reserved tickets per session.
