WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Single-session tickets for the 2012 Big Ten Wrestling

Saturday's two sessions, and $15/$12 (Adult/Youth) for general admission, while
Sunday's prices are set at $22 and $18/$15 for the day's single session.

More than 2,200 all-session tickets already have been sold for the event, with just
