KU basketball could make money this year-but the cash receipts will depend on the round-ballers showing Thursday night, when they open against the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.
Sales depend on team
At least that's the opinion of Jay Simon, KU sports publicity director.
Estimating attendance at the first home game Saturday with Xavier College, Simon says Allen Field House gate totals will depend on the team's performance in the Arkansas game.
"IF WE WIN the game, it might encourage more people to attend next Saturday," he adds.
Already the athletic department has sold about 9,000 season tickets 6,500 to students and 2,500 to the public.
The student season tickets sell for $4 while the others are priced at $24 for bench seats and $33 for theater-type seats.
Single game admissions will cost the public $2 and $3. The remaining 500 student seats sell at $1 for students and $1.25 for student spouses.
Defense secretary Robert S. McNamara announced Friday a national cut in draft quotas for January because of reduced manpower needs.
Both single game and season tickets may be purchased at the ticket office on the east side of Allen Field House from 8 p.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
