(La Porte, IN) - Tickets are on sale for the upcoming basketball extravaganza featuring some of the best young talent nationwide in La Porte.

The annual La Porte Invitational at the Civic Auditorium features nearly a dozen college prep teams from schools like nearby LaLumiere.

La Porte Civic Auditorium Director Brett Binversie said tickets sales have been rather brisk for the three day event, which begins on January 9 with three games.

There are four games on each of the next two days. 

Binversie encourages the public to get their tickets early.

“The last three years, we had to turn people away on Saturday and we really don’t want to have to do that,” Binversie said.

Tickets are $30 and $20 apiece for as many games as people want to watch each day.  They can purchased at laportecivicauditorium.com or at the Civic Auditorium box office.
