Homecoming is scheduled for October 29th against Missouri.
Public season tickets are $225. Faculty-staff season tickets are $180 and recent graduate packages are $150 (2003-05 graduation date). Family-Zone packages are also available for $300. The Family-Zone, located in the North Bowl, includes two adult and two youth general admission tickets, and does not include the Oklahoma game at Arrowhead Stadium.
All regular-season ticket allocation and seating will be based on lifetime points for current Williams Educational Fund members. You can become a WEF member by making a pledge (minimum $100) by April 22, 2005. Final payment for all 2005 Fund Drive pledges is due by June 1, 2005.
During the month of May, members of the Williams Educational Fund will have the opportunity to visit Memorial Stadium and personally select their seats for the upcoming season. If you cannot make the time your point grouping is selected for, you may provide the Athletics Department with your request. If still available, your seats will be reserved. If no particular request is received in advance, you will be given the “best available” seats.
While some season tickets require an annual contribution to the Williams Educational Fund, Memorial Stadium does offer seating options that do not require a donation. Non-Donor Reserved seats are available in specific sections throughout Memorial Stadium for $225. In addition, Family Zone plans do not require membership to the Williams Educational Fund.
Jayhawk fans can purchase their season tickets online at www.kuathletics.com or by calling the ticket office at 800-34-HAWKS.
