See the Sixers Kick it Old School -- Play at Spectrum

Maybe the Sixers can channel some of the magic that Moses Malone and Julius Erving infused into the Spectrum back in the '80s.

The ghosts of teams past will surely be in the house as the 76ers turn back the clock to play one last time at the soon-to-be-gone Spectrum.

The game isn't until March 13, 2009 -- but tickets will be on sale Monday, December 15, 2008 at 10 a.m.

Hopefully the Sixers can avoid a Friday the 13th horror show and channel some of the good vibes of champions past to win the game over the Chicago Bulls.

The first 500 fans to snatch up tickets on Monday at the Spectrum box office only will get to immediately take a tour of the Sixers former locker room and meet some former Sixers.

"This will be a very special night for Sixers fans as we come back to our former home one more time before it closes," said Sixers Senior Vice President of Business Operations Lara Price.

Tickets for the game are around the normal price for the 76ers. Fans will have to shell out between $19.67 (for the year the Spectrum opened) to $150 to get into the last Spectrum game.

Season ticket holders will get first crack at the Spectrum tickets and members of the Sixers Sixth Man Email and Text Club will also have a presale chance starting Thursday, December 11 at 10 a.m. Sign up for the email and text club here to get the presale chance.

The Spectrum is meeting the wrecking ball to make room for a retail and entertainment complex called PhillyLive.
