IOWA CITY, Ia. – The University of Iowa is moving into its next phase of reviving football ticket sales, the most significant variable in how full Kinnick Stadium will get this fall on seven Saturdays.
With an expected decline in season-ticket purchases all but official, the push for selling single-game tickets is on.
"We know for us to reach our goals," said Rick Klatt, Iowa's associate athletic director for external relations, "we're going to have to get there through single-game sales."
On Thursday, Iowa will announce the offering of custom-built, three-game ticket packages in the south end zone, available for $157. Fans can select one game each from three pools:
•One from the two night games (Sept. 19 vs. Pittsburgh or Nov. 14 vs. Minnesota);
•One from the two other nonconference games (Sept. 5 vs. Illinois State or Sept. 26 vs. North Texas);
•And one from the three remaining Big Ten Conference games (Oct. 10 vs. Illinois, Oct. 31 vs. Maryland or Nov. 21 vs. Purdue).
Those packages will go on sale Monday. At an average of $52.33 in the three-game bundle, that's actually a better per-seat deal than season tickets ($56.43 a seat, at the season-ticket holder cost of $395). Face value of adult tickets range from $55 to $65, depending on the game.
