Curtis-St. Peter’s basketball Thanksgiving Eve ticket? Whoa, not so fast.

If you happen to have one, you’re lucky. Otherwise, you better call in a favor.

The Warriors and Eagles will square off for the 66th time on Thanksgiving Eve on Wednesday. The varsity game will commence at 7:30 p.m. at the College of Staten Island’s Sports and Recreation Center in Willowbrook (JV begins at 5:45).

All these years later, the big game remains one of the hottest tickets in town despite the fact there’s six other games going on as well.
