Big 12 Tournament Sells Out For Fifth Straight Year
KANSAS CITY (AP) -- Next month's Big 12 tournament at the Sprint Center has sold out for the fifth consecutive year, though standing-room tickets may become available closer to the event.
The tournament, which was played at Kemper Arena for years, also sold out when it returned to Kansas City in 2008. It's also been played at American Airlines Center in Dallas and Ford Center, now the Chesapeake Energy Arena, in Oklahoma City.
As other conferences struggle to sell tickets, that has never been an issue for the Big 12 in Kansas City. That's one reason why Sprint Center has been awarded the tournament through 2016.
This year's tournament begins March 12. The championship game is March 15.
