Regents to vote on tiered ticket pricing
Advertiser Staff
Seven University of Hawai'i sports will have a new tiered price range for marquee games this season under a proposal from the UH athletic department.
The new price range will affect men's basketball, women's basketball, men's volleyball, baseball, softball, water polo and soccer.
The University's Board of Regents must approve the proposal and is expected to vote on the issue at its monthly meeting next week. A public meeting was held on Thursday to get feedback on the pricing schedule.
In March, the board unanimously approved a measure to increase the premium fee required to secure the best seats at Warrior football and Rainbow Wahine volleyball events this year.
The proposal includes a tiered price range with the price to be determined by the athletic director based on a number of criteria: level of competition, opponent, strength of team, economy and other factors. The tier level reflects the standing of the UH opponent, with contests against members of the Bowl Championship Series conference, for example, falling in the Tier I category.
UH students and students ages 4-18 would see decreases in ticket prices under the proposal. In addition, student tickets for women's basketball games will be free, and there will be no premium fees on season tickets for UH students.
The proposal is for both individual game tickets and season tickets, and would be for the 2003 through 2005 athletic seasons.
The new price ranges are listed below. Price ranges for women's basketball, softball, soccer and water polo were not disclosed.
