Student Tickets

Student participation in athletics events is of prime importance and every effort will be made to encourage maximum participation by students. The pricing of student tickets will be as low as possible and commensurate with the funding viability of the athletics program. The goal is for the pricing of the student sports combo ticket not to exceed one-half of the faculty/staff ticket prices. Student representatives will be involved in pricing decisions.

There are currently 4,000 seats allocated to students for men's basketball and a minimum of 8,500 for football.

Prices for student tickets are as follows:

Students will receive free admission into all other sports with valid student ID. Note that there may be limits to how many seats are held for students. Having a valid ID does not guarantee admittance.

The Director of Athletics determines the distribution of tickets for special events, such as tournaments and bowl games, after consultation with appropriate staff members and the Head Coach of the designated sport.

Faculty/Staff Tickets - all sports but men's basketball

To encourage maximum participation by faculty/staff in attendance at athletics events, season tickets for this group will be priced at 80% of the public rate. Faculty/staff members may purchase two tickets at this reduced rate. Faculty/staff members may also purchase tickets at this price for their children of high school age and younger when available. Tickets purchased by faculty/staff members are intended for use by the faculty/staff member, their spouse (guest if single) and their children of high school age and younger. Faculty/staff members are not permitted to sell their tickets.

Faculty/Staff Men's Basketball

1. SenEx will provide recommendations to Kansas Athletics for allocating 1,822 seats for faculty, staff, and retired faculty/staff in the Field House, with responsibility for implementation of the recommendations for the seating requirements by Kansas Athletics.
2. Kansas Athletics will provide notice to SenEx and solicit comments in the event the recommendations cannot be implemented.
3. SenEx and Kansas Athletics agree that staff and faculty members obtaining ticketed seating in the areas specified by this agreement shall pay only the staff and faculty discounted ticket price for a maximum of two seats per individual, and that staff and faculty members need not be members of or contributors to the Williams Fund or other organizations in order to obtain tickets and seating in these areas.
4. This arrangement will be effective for a term of five years beginning with the 2004- 2005 academic year and ending with the 2008-2009 academic year, and it is renewable in five- year increments upon written agreement between SenEx and the Athletics Director.

The SenEx Plan for Faculty & Staff with Discounted Tickets

General policies:

• Only faculty and staff who are full-time, on phased retirement, retirees of the University, or surviving spouses/partners of 2003/04 season ticket holders may be ticket holders.
• For three-quarter-, half- or quarter-season game packages [1], the specific games in each package will be determined by the Athletic Department; persons may not choose a package consisting of specific games.
• SenEx will appoint a 3-person committee to interpret and oversee implementation of faculty/staff basketball ticket policies and procedures.

Allocation of Tickets:
2003/04 Season Ticket Holders:

• May purchase full season, three-quarter-, half-, or quarter-season ticket packages in the 2004-05 season and consecutive seasons when payment is made on time.
• If a 2003-04 current season ticket holder opts for a three-quarter-, half-, or quarter-season package in 2004-05 or thereafter, he/she may only renew that package or a lesser package.
• May renew up to two tickets annually, but no more than the number currently held.
• Surviving spouses/partners of 2003/04 season ticket holders may purchase up to two tickets for three years, beginning with the season after the death of the employee.

Non-2003/04 Ticket Holders:

• Eligible faculty/staff/retirees who did not hold 2003-04 season tickets may chose to participate in a lottery to be conducted every two years.

Seat Location:

• The list of 2003/04 season ticket holders and lottery winners will be provided by the Kansas Athletics to the University Governance Office, who will validate each employee's seniority status.
• Seat location will be determined by seniority based on University service. Seats will be assigned to 2003-04 season-ticket holders with full-, three-quarter-, half-, and quarter-season tickets, and lottery winners, apportioned equally based on seniority.
• The Kansas Athletics letter to 2003-04 season ticket holders will include an estimate of seat location.
• Seat location is subject to change every two years.

Lottery Rules:

• After allocation to 2003/04 season ticket holders, all remaining season tickets go into the pool to be awarded by lottery every other year.
• Lottery winners are limited to two tickets per employee/retiree.
• All lottery tickets will be available in quarter-season packages.
• If not all tickets are purchased by lottery participants the first time through the list, lottery participants may purchase a second quarter-season package using the same ranking as in the first lottery, and so on, until all tickets are sold.
• Season tickets (full, three-quarter-, half-, or quarter-season packages) that become available because of attrition or death shall go into the lottery pool at the end of the season.
• Ticket packages that become available before the next lottery will be offered to the next person(s) on the previous lottery list (the "waiting list").
• Persons must indicate their desire to participate in each lottery.

General Public

To encourage maximum participation by the general public at all KU athletics events, prices set are commensurate with prices at peer institutions across the country and within the Big Twelve Conference.
