All-sports ticket package is proposed
By BARB EHLI Staff Reporter
The ticket and ticket pricing committee of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation decided Tuesday to propose a new ticket purchasing option for a vote at the KUAC board meeting next week. The proposed option is expected to increase ticket sales.
"We're trying to get an all-sports package," Richard Konzem, ticket manager, said yesterday.
KUAC LOST $104,776 in expected revenue from student season tickets in basketball this year and is trying to find a way to increase student sales.
Under the proposed option, students would be able to attend home basketball and football games during the season, including three during the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks, for $45.
If this proposal is accepted by the board, students also will have the option of buying tickets for the football and basketball games separately. Football tickets would cost $25, and basketball tickets would cost $22.
Student season football tickets were $25.50 last fall, and student season basketball tickets were $28 last November. Single holiday game tickets
not included in the separate season ticket rate would remain at $3.
"IT'S A CONVENIENCE deal where you can write your check at the beginning of the semester," Korzem said.
Konzem said the basketball tickets were sold at a bad time of year because by November, students either had to pay money or were saving it for Christmas.
He said he hoped more students would buy tickets if they were sold at the beginning of the semester in an all-sports package.
A recent NCAA decision to increase the number of season basketball games by one game would allow, KU to schedule 14 home basketball games for next season. This would change the separate season ticket price to $2 per game.
Last year, the season tickets for basketball were $1.75 per game.
The six home games scheduled for next season would make the $25 football ticket cost about a $4 game.
LAST YEAR'S SEASON ticket for
Missouri fans paid the same amount on student season tickets as KU students did, but were able to attend one more football game and two more basketball games because of the schedule.
Konzem said the ticket price complied with a KUAC guideline that requires student ticket prices to stay below 50 percent of the public ticket price. Konzem reports sports ticket price would be 33.5 percent of the public ticket price, Konzem said.
ABBOTT ANOTHER high point of Higher Education Week would be an address by Emily Taylor, founder of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource and Career Center, at the 10th annual Higher Education Week banquet March 7.
THE CHARGE for the banquet will be $6.75, $3.50 for students. Anyone may attend but reservations must be made to Student Senate or Student Senate office before March 3.
The banquet will be in honor of recipients of the Outstanding Progressive Educator Award, the Reward Office Outstanding Award, the Higher Education Leadership award and the Fireman's Award.
Speeches and question-answer periods at a forum between students and Kansas legislators will highlight KU's Higher Education Week the week in March, Brendan Abbott, former body vice president, said this week.
Abbott said the committee coordinating the forum would find out today what it is going to do.
ABBOTT AND HIS steering committee planned an Associated Union of Residence Hall dinner for Tuesday, November 18. The science fiction writing by James Gunn, professor of English, and a speech by an IBM representative sponsored by the KU School of Business' marketing department and Alpha Kappa Psi have seen planned.
He said the forum was part of an effort to organize the work better than an organization he wasn't a member of.
"It is appropriate we have such an outstanding person to be our guest speaker at a Higher Education Week banquet," Abbott said.
At Colorado, for the same number of football and basketball games, students paid $40, or $5 less than the proposed ticket plan for KU students.
"The entire steering committee is very enthralled," Abbott said. "We'd like to think we've broadened the week this year."
"There's a tendency when you have
a little girl, get in the same old
rush." Abbott said.
The University of Missouri and the University of Colorado are some other schools that offered an all-sports ticket last year.
Concert Series will sponsor concerts by University bands and orchestras.
Taylor founded the first University Commission on the Status of Women in the United States and now is the director of the office of women in higher education of the American Council on Education.
Abbott, who started organizing the week as part of his vice presidential duties, said he was pleased with the plans.
The steering committee also has asked John. John Carlin to declare the entire week higher Education Week, Abbott said.
Although the steering committee was composed of representatives of several groups on campus besides the Senate, and they fund the week's activities, Abbott said.
A family-plan ticket would be available again for next year's football games, Konem said. A husband, wife and up to four children would be admitted to the north bowl area of the stadium for $15 a game.
