INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - All proceeds from a low-cost Indiana Pacers preseason game will benefit the United Way of Central Indiana, the team and organization announced Tuesday.
Tickets for the first preseason Pacers game, against the Chicago Bulls, will be $10 for every seat. The game is at 7 p.m. Dec. 16. All of the proceeds will go to the United Way of Central Indiana.
It’s the first game in Indianapolis since the NBA lockout and since a first round playoff upset that found the Pacers falling to the Bulls after an intense series.
Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Friday exclusively through the United Way of Central Indiana’s website . Remaining tickets will be available starting at 10 a.m. Monday on the Pacers website , the Conseco Fieldhouse box office and through Ticketmaster.
“I believe we have come up with a terrific way to celebrate our game, our team and our community with this remarkable partnership with United Way,” Pacers Sports and Entertainment President Jim Morris said in a news release.
The Pacers will release a full game schedule on Tuesday night.
