Here's some general information and frequently asked questions about the WIAA Boys State Basketball Tournament and Super Tuesday events. 

When is the tournament and when are the games? 
The tournament is held over three days, this Thursday through Saturday.  For a detailed breakdown of which games are played at which times, check out the full schedule of State Tournament and Super Tuesday games here.

Where is the state tournament held? 
All games of the Boys Basketball State Tournament are held at the Kohl Center in Madison.  Click here for a map of the Kohl Center area, and click here for a layout of the interior of the Kohl Center. 

How much are tickets and where can I get them? 
Tickets for the State Tournament are $8 per session, with each session consisting of two games.  Tickets are available at the participating schools or can be ordered online here.  Tickets can also be purchased at the Kohl Center box office right now and the mornings of the tournament games.  The Ticket Window opens at 8:30 am during the week and 9 am on Saturday. 

Keep in mind that if you buy tickets from one of the schools you will be sitting with that school's section.  If you purchase tickets online or at the Kohl Center you will be sitting in the general seating area, not with a particular school.

Tickets for the Super Tuesday games are $4 and be purchased at the participating schools or at the door.
