Pre-season athletic ticket sales going well
Student reserved
Student general
By GREG DAMMAN Sports Editor
The effect of a summer mailing program by the KU ticket office won't be fully known until after football student season ticket sales are completed, but KU ticket manager Terry Johnson said Monday that 1,400 all-sports tickets had been sold.
Last year the ticket office did not have a summer mailing program. Johnson said, so no all sports tickets were sold before fall ticket sales began. Brochures were mailed to returning students this summer, and new students had a chance to buy tickets during summer orientation
"We won't know the direct impact it's going to have on sales until we're finished," Johnson said. "But the response so far has been very good."
STUDENT TICKETS FOR KU football games this fall will be available in the same seating arrangements as last season. Reserved student tickets will be sold for Row 43 in Memorial Stadium, and open seating student tickets will be sold for Row 43 and above.
Reserved seats will be assigned from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Aug. 27-30 in the Allen Field House lobby. Seniors can pick up tickets Aug. 27; juniors and graduate students, Aug. 28; sophomores, Aug. 29, and freshmen, Aug. 30.
Individual reserved tickets this year for the Nebraska game are $15, $2 higher than for the Wichita State, Iowa, Iowa State and Oklahoma games.
Johnson said KU was not the first choice for games against his bikini, opponents' big name opponents.
"OTHER SCHOOLS ARE doing it not only for the Nebraska game, but for other games as well." Johnson said. "The better the opponent the higher the demand. And the demand is there. The Nebraska game definitely has the highest demand this year."
Student season football tickets were not increased in price for the Nebraska game, and are the same price as last year, $23 for open seating and $26 for reserved seating. You play one less home game this season.
Last year, students who bought season football tickets paid $3.83 a game for open seating and $4.33 a
game for open seating. This year,
student season football ticket holders
will pay $4.60 for open seating and
$5.20 for reserved seating.
JOHNSON SAID THAT the Nebraska game did not always have the highest ticket demand, and that KU was playing rivals Kansas State and Missouri away this year.
"Next year Kansas State will be the highest selling," Johnson said. "K-State and Nebraska switch off every year."
Reserved student season tickets for basketball will cost $25 this year, compared with $22 last year. The basketball season ticket will not
include the two games during Christmas break. Between Dec. 12 and Kansas is scheduled to play a team to be announced, and on Jan. 3 the Jayhawks will play Texas Southern.
ALL-SPORTS STUDENT season tickets, which include home football and basketball games and the KU Relays, will cost $4$ — the same as last year. The all-sports ticket includes the two basketball games during Christmas break, but not the tournament game.
If the allotment of student basketball season tickets is sold out with the all-sports tickets, no student basketball season tickets will be available.
