Ice-O-Rama Advance Sale Of Tickets Breaks Record

Officials Predict Another Capacity Crowd For Thursday Night Coliseum Extravaganza

By ART WRIGHT Another capacity crowd for The Times Ice-O-Rama Thursday night in the Fairgrounds Coliseum was predicted today as a result of a record-breaking advance sale of tickets. Most of the tickets remaining are the 1700 East end mezzanine chairs which will be sold for 60 cents, including tax. There were a few side mezzanine seats left after yesterday's sales but these should be sold out tomorow. Then all that will remain will be the East end mezzanine. The only tickets available are on sale at the speclal booth -in- L. Strauss & Co. store. i The only tickets scheduled for sale at the Coliseum show night are those remaining unsold when the L.
