Narrative:

We pushed back in tul and although runway 8 was notamd closed; we asked if it was available for our takeoff. They said; 'yes' and cleared us to taxi to runway 8. We took off on runway 8. Later in the day I received a call from the chief pilot saying tul said we took off on a closed runway. Since we asked and tul granted our request; we understood that to mean runway 8 was opened again. ATC communications within the tower.
