IOWA FOOTBALL SEASON TICKET RENEWAL PROCESS IS UNDERWAY

UI Department of Athletics accepting season ticket applications

IOWA CITY, Iowa - - With an attractive home schedule that includes five opponents who participated in 2017 postseason games, the University of Iowa athletics department announced Friday that the online season ticket renewal process has begun for 2018 home football games.

Season ticket renewal forms are available online at hawkeyesports.com/tickets.

Construction of the Kinnick Stadium north end zone has started and season ticket holders whose seats are being displaced due to construction will have the first choice, based on priority points, to choose replacement seats for the 2018 season. Patrons will be notified of their seat selection time and provided instructions at the beginning of February, with the seat selection process to begin in April.

North end zone club seat selections will begin in February. Nearly 1,300 of the available 1,500 club seats have been sold. More information about the Kinnick Edge project, including premium seating options, can be found at www.KinnickEdge.org.

General public season tickets for the seven game home slate are $415, with Faculty/Staff season tickets set at $345. UI student season tickets are $150 for all seven home games and $125 for six dates (Nebraska game not included). The renewal deadline for public and faculty/staff season tickets is March 30.

The general public price is an $80 savings over the cost of single game tickets. Season ticket holders earn ticketing priority over the general public for single game, special events, and postseason contests.

Fans who are not currently season ticket holders and are interested in purchasing season tickets can order online by visiting hawkeyesports.com/tickets. Additional ticket options, including single game ticket sales and group packages, will be available at a later date.

Iowa football has posted back-to-back eight-win seasons and has posted a 28-12 record over the past three campaigns. Head coach Kirk Ferentz begins his 20th season in 2018. With Iowa’s first victory of 2018 Ferentz will become the winningest head coach in program history. Ferentz and Hayden Fry have each led Hawkeye football to 143 victories.

The Hawkeyes open the 2018 season with consecutive September home games against Northern Illinois, Iowa State (the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series game), Northern Iowa, and defending Big Ten West champion Wisconsin. Iowa closed the 2017 campaign with wins at Nebraska (56-14) and over Boston College (27-20) in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

Additional home games include Homecoming versus Maryland, Family Weekend versus Northwestern, and the Hy-Vee Heroes game against Nebraska the day after Thanksgiving. Wisconsin (13) and Northwestern (10) each won at least 10 games last season, while Northern Illinois, Iowa State, and Northern Iowa each won eight games and participated in postseason play.

All renewal and new season ticket holders will be provided an opportunity to upgrade and/or select their seating locations based on availability, and will receive selection dates and times in April. This process begins in April, and is based on priority point totals and I-Club annual gift membership levels, and will conclude in early May.

I-Club contributions -- which fulfill regular and postseason seating and parking requirements, can be made at jointheiclub.com. I-Club contributions -- which provide Hawkeye student-athletes the tools they need to succeed at the highest levels -- must be made by May 31 to ensure proper mailing of season tickets and parking passes. I-Club renewal forms will be emailed in mid-February. The portion of annual I-Club contributions that fulfill zone seating requirements will no longer be tax deductible per the recently passed tax legislation. If you have questions about tax deductibility regarding your contributions, please consult your tax advisor.

“We are appreciative for the continued support of our season ticket holders and we will continue to work hard to provide a wonderful fan experience and a great game day environment,” said Gary Barta, the Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics Chair. “The north end zone project, while not completed, will enhance the game day experience and create an even better atmosphere inside Kinnick Stadium.”

Requested season tickets for the first time. Pretty excited about it. Anybody know the chances during your first request? Pretty good?
 
Anyone else not receiving renewal email notices from the university, and unable to renew their tickets online?

I never received notice for tickets for the bowl game either. Nothing in the junk email folder. This is becoming troublesome.

Not to my knowledge. I still receive emails from the university, including one just last week on the OSU wrestling meet.

Suppose I'll call the ticket office.
 
Are you a gmail user? I am, and lately I've run into a lot of emails just flat out disappearing. Not in spam, just gone.

Hotmail.

Ticket office stated they have only sent notices for those in the north end zone (I'm west).

Working with them on why I didn't receive wrestling renewal, bowl notification and cannot order online.

You'll get them.. but how did you request them already? I just got notified for the renewal process,

I saw an alert for renewal and it said new can request as well. You go to hawkeye sports and it lets you select which you are. I emailed the university and they said I am sent an email in early April telling me when I can pick my seats in late April or early May.

Ideally I"d like section 109 rows 35-50ish.

That would be what a 50 dollar donation for those seats..
 
Any way to put a caveat for money back if the offense looks as anemic as last year or 4?
