USA Volleyball Cup tickets on sale

Tickets are on sale for the two matches in June between the U.S. and China women’s volleyball teams at the Stan Sheriff Center.

The contests on June 5 and 6 are rematches of last year’s FIVB Women’s World Championship final won by the top-ranked Americans 3-1. With the victory, U.S. head coach Karch Kiraly became only the fourth player to win a gold medal as a player and a coach at the World Championship. China’s coach Lang Ping, the only female head coach of a national team ranked in the top 20 internationally, was trying to accomplish the same feat.

Tickets in the upper level and some lower-level rows range from $10 through $20. Priority seating in selected lower-level sections are $35 with VIP seating at $150. Both matches start at 7 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased at the Stan Sheriff Center box office or online at eTicketHawaii.com. To place phone orders, call 944-2697.
