The city of Tucson also ordered furloughs this year, but it's handling them differently, allowing departments to close on different days or stagger time off so as to never shut down entirely. Most recently, the Tucson Convention Center ticket office is set to close on April 2 for a mandatory furlough day. Tickets to a TCC event still can be bought at Fry's Marketplace Ticketmaster locations, www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone, 1-800-745-3000.
