Last day to buy Zona Zoo for basketball lottery

Students must buy a Zona Zoo pass by 5 p.m. today to be entered into the men’s basketball student lottery.

Initially, students were going to sign up for the lottery online, but because of technical difficulties everyone who bought a Zona Zoo pass this year has been entered into the lottery, said Amber Harryman, Associated Students of the University of Arizona spirit director.

Zona Zoo passes are $40 and can be purchased at the McKale Ticket Office.

Each lottery winner will be able to buy one full-season general admission season pass to the new student section in McKale Center for $72.

Lottery winners will be posted Sept. 27, according to the Arizona Athletics Web site.

Students must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years old. They should bring an Arizona driver’s license or other proof of citizenship.
