Sixers having "Phillies" night

The 76ers will celebrate the World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies during “Phillies Night,” the highlight of which will be the fans’ opportunity to get their picture taken with the Commissioner’s Trophy prior to the Sixers game vs. the Knicks on Saturday, January 24, 2009. The trophy will be on display in the Wachovia Center at the 11th Street Atrium starting at 6:00pm until just before halftime. The game will tip-off at 7:00pm.

Fans will be able to view and photograph the trophy from the concourse as well as from the suite, club and mezzanine levels of the Wachovia Center, allowing for a 360 degree view of the prized hardware.

In attendance for “Phillies Night” will be World Series MVP Cole Hamels – who will participate in the ceremonial opening tip – pitchers Ryan Madson and Brad Lidge, and outfielder Shane Victorino, all of whom will participate in a three-point shooting contest at halftime. The World Series trophy will also be brought to the court during the halftime ceremony, as well.

“Phillies Night” will also include a 7th inning stretch, where Hip Hop and the Hare Raisers will join the Phillie Phanatic and Phillies Ball Girls and shoot T-shirts out to the crowd.

Tickets for this game start at just $10 and individual tickets to 19 of the remaining 20 home games are on sale now exclusively through ComcastTIX at SIXERS.COM or by calling 1-800-298-4200. Additionally, tickets to the Sixers game at the Wachovia Spectrum vs. the Chicago Bulls on March 13, 2009 are also available now via the team’s “History and Tradition” three-game ticket plans, which start at just $125.
