For the third consecutive year, Syracuse Opera has secured two courtside Syracuse University men’s basketball season tickets to raffle to benefit the nonprofit performing arts organization.

The raffle tickets, for the 2013-14 season, are $25 each or five for $100. They are available by calling the Syracuse Opera box office at 476-7372 or visiting www.syracuseopera.com and clicking on the SU basketball icon on the bottom right of the opera’s home page, or on “purchase tickets,” then on “basketball raffle.”

The winning ticket will be drawn April 9.

“We moved the deadline for this year’s drawing up significantly to better coincide with SU’s current men’s basketball schedule and the incredible sense of March Madness throughout our region,” said Syracuse Opera spokesman Michael A. Connor.
