Even though Athletics' ticket office will be closed over the holidays, fans can still purchase tickets for the Jan. 9 Harlem Globetrotters performance at two Cookeville branches of First Tennessee Bank.

In the meantime, the Eblen Center ticket office will be open through Friday, Dec. 23, for people thinking about giving either Globetrotter or Tennessee Tech basketball tickets as Christmas gifts.

First Tennessee Bank will offer ticket sales for the Globetrotters game at its South Jefferson Avenue and West Jackson Street locations.

The TTU ticket office will re-open at 4:30 p.m., Monday, Jan. 2, with the Golden Eaglettes and Golden Eagles hosting Samford University in an Ohio Valley Conference doubleheader beginning at 5:30 p.m.
