Football season ticket information in the mail

Kansas University Athletic Department officials began mailing informational packets Thursday to football season-ticket holders.

“They should all be in the mail by Friday,” said Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony.

The packets include a booklet explaining the department’s new priority point system and a map of Memorial Stadium showing how many points will be needed to sit in each section.

Points are based on past and pledged donations to the athletic department, membership in the KU Alumni Association, past season-ticket purchases and contributions to the university at large. Point totals are the same for football and basketball.

Fans wanting to increase their point totals have until April 22 to donate or pledge more.
