Per Doc:
Iowa’s season-ticket sales for the general public and UI faculty are down 16 percent from last year, according to numbers provided by the athletics department.
As of Aug. 6, Iowa had sold 37,980 season tickets. Last year a month before kickoff, Iowa had sold 45,613.
“We’ve planned for a reduction, we’ve seen a reduction,” said Rick Klatt, Iowa’s associate athletics director for external relations. “Our goals remain the same: at the end of the season to be a top-25 school once again in attendance — and I think that’s reachable — and to meet our financial goals, which is the Regents budget.”
Iowa’s sales to incoming freshmen are up 40 percent. This week, the department will offer full-time Kirkwood Community College students a chance to buy student season tickets.
Iowa also has reached out to about 1,700 organizations for single-game group sales.
“We’ve known we’d be down. We are down,” Klatt said. “We planned for it. So now our attention is how do we grow our single-game sales?”
