Grand Island Chamber of Commerce recently issued the following announcement.

Date: March 19, 2022 - March 20, 2022

Event Description:

Districts will be held the first weekend in March as usual. The top 4 will qualify for State. District directors will have the same leeway they have had in the past and stay within our current district guidelines. District tournaments will also be staying within local Health guidelines as well. If the District director deems necessary, the District tournaments may run on 2 consecutive days the first weekend in March.

• An online ticket link will be available soon if not already. All tickets will be sold online.  All tickets will be reserve seating this year.  There will not be tickets available at the venue.  The online ticketing will be open throughout the weekend.  People will be able to buy tickets right from their phones if needed. These tickets will be sold in sessions.  If you want to watch more than 1 session, then you must purchase another session ticket or purchase a "2 Session package same day same seat" ticket at a discounted price. Each individual session ticket that is bought will be $13, the "2 Session package same day same seat" will be $22 each.  All tickets are the same for adults and children 4 years and older.  All children under 4 years old are free but must sit in the parents lap if they want a seat.
• Kids that wrestle in a session do not have to purchase a gate ticket for other sessions.  They must have their session lanyard on at all times.  Wrestlers that are wanting to stay for other sessions must enter the main gate with their parents present.  The only wrestlers allowed on the floor will be wrestlers with lanyards that are the same as the current session that is wrestling at that time.
