(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – Boxing fans will have the chance to witness history at the first-ever U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Women’s Boxing, and tickets for the inaugural event are available now. The nation’s top 24 female boxers will face off in Olympic Trials action at the Pend Orielle Pavilion at the Northern Quest Resort outside of Spokane, Wash., February 13-18, with each boxer competing for a spot in the first Olympic Games to showcase women’s boxing.

The groundbreaking event will feature eight boxers in each of the three Olympic weight classes during the seven-day competition. The tournament is a double elimination format with preliminary action beginning on February 13 and running through final round action on February 18 and 19 (if necessary).

The 24 boxers competing in the first-ever U.S. Olympic Team Trials for women all earned their berths through an extensive qualifying process, which began nearly a year ago. The winners from the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Women’s Boxing will represent the United States in the lone international Olympic qualifier, the 2012 Women’s World Championships in May in China. The trio will have to finish in the top eight at the key international event to punch their ticket for London.

U.S. Olympic Trials action will kick off nightly at 7 p.m., Monday through Thursday and begin at 8 p.m., on Friday and Saturday night. Boxing and Olympic fans can witness history first-hand for an affordable price with event tickets starting at only $12.50 for the first day of action at the Pend Orielle Pavilion. Ticket prices rise by only $5 per day as the tournament edges closer to the event finals on Saturday, February 18 and Sunday, February 19 (if necessary). Full event passes are also available for purchase for $103.50.

Tickets can be purchased through Northern Quest by calling 509-481-6700 (toll-free 1-877-777-5252) or online at Tickets.
