STUDENT BASKETBALL SEASON TICKET INFORMATION
FELLOW KU STUDENTS:
KU Basketball is on the way up. Knowing that the prospects for national promising ice have increased the pressure for better student seating at the field house, the Athletic Seating Board has made a major change in basketball seating for the coming season.
For the first time over 2,000 seats on the playing floor level will be available to students. These seats together with balcony seats, all as shown on the enclosed information sheet seating diagram will comprise a total of approximately 7,500 student seats, of which 7,000 may be purchased by students on a season-ticket basis. These 7,000 seats will be reserved as a block, and seating within the reserved student block will be available on a first-come, first-seated basis at each home game to those students buying the 10-game $4.00 student basketball season ticket. The enclosed information sheet gives the instructions for purchasing this new student basketball season ticket and explains the availability of single game tickets.
This change in basketball student seating, and the accompanying charge for a student basketball season ticket, is made as only a part of a broader plan of the Athletic Seating Board to improve student seating at intercollegiate athletic events. In prospect is an expansion of the east side of Memorial Stadium to match the recent west side addition and to open up some 6,500 new student football seats. When that occurs, an additional charge for reserved student football seating will be made, in recognition of the fact that student football and basketball admission charges are the only practical way of financing a stadium addition and other improvements in student seating at intercollegiate athletic events. Accordingly, all revenue above administrative costs, derived from the sale of student season tickets will now be placed in a reserve fund to finance a student addition to Memorial Stadium.
Buy your student season ticket early; it's the best student buy in the Big 8! Then, come to the games early and boost our Jayhawkers to a National Championship!
