LUBBOCK, Texas - Prior to launching its current season ticket campaign, Texas Tech set a goal of 20,000 as the magic number for season ticket sales for the 2003 season. As of noon Monday, that goal is well within reach as 17,500 season tickets have been sold to the public since the campaign began in April.
Tech's season ticket total this year reflects a 35 percent increase over the 12,954 sold prior to the 2002 season. The record for season ticket sales at Texas Tech is approximately 22,000, set in 1979. The reason for the success can be primarily attributed to Tech's $99 season ticket, which includes each of the six home games this season.
"We are excited about the enthusiasm from the community," Texas Tech Assistant AD for Ticket Operations David Welsh said. "The best advice we can give is encouraging Red Raider fans to buy season tickets to insure a seat for the Texas A&M game."
Season tickets for the 2003 season will remain on sale through Fri., Aug. 29.
Single-game tickets for the season opener against SMU and other games during the season can be purchased at the Texas Tech Athletic Ticket Office at the north end of Jones SBC Stadium between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Single-game tickets went on sale Monday morning for all games with the exception of the Texas A&M game. Texas A&M individual game tickets go on sale Mon., Sept. 1, at 8:30 a.m. The A&M ticket will cost $75.
The Texas Tech Athletic Department is offering Red Raider football fans an early jump on tickets for the Texas A&M game by purchasing either a $90 or $100 mini-pack depending on location. The mini-pack features tickets for both the SMU and A&M games and provides the only opportunity other than a season ticket to purchase a Texas A&M ticket prior to Sept. 1.
Other single-game ticket prices range from $10-$50 for the SMU, New Mexico, Iowa State and Colorado games. Oklahoma single-game tickets can be purchased for $45.
Tickets for the 2003 season are available by calling the Athletic Ticket Office at 742-TECH (8324) or (888) GO-BIG-12.
