MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – The Milwaukee Athletic Department is offering free admission to select men's and women's basketball games for federal government employees and their immediate family members affected by the federal government shutdown.

For the women's basketball game on Saturday, February 9 vs. Northern Kentucky and the men's basketball game on Saturday, February 16 vs Oakland, federal government employees can claim up to four complimentary tickets for immediate family members per game by showing a valid federal government ID at the ticket office.

Tickets will be provided at the Klotsche Center (women's basketball) and UWM Panther Arena (men's basketball) on those selected game days, based on availability.

Even though the government shutdown is over, employees can still take advantage of the ticket offer.
