The University of Hawaii athletic department has received $50 non-refundable deposits from 842 fans requesting more than 2,500 new season tickets for the 2008 football season.

The deposit program was launched Jan. 16, following the announcement of Greg McMackin as the new UH head football coach.

Season ticket prices and premium seat contributions will remain the same as last year and the department has set a goal of selling 30,000 season tickets for the 2008 season. The $50 deposit (per order, not per ticket) will be applied to fans' new season-ticket purchases. Deposits can be paid online at HawaiiAthletics.com or at the Stan Sheriff Center Box Office.

Callbacks for new tickets will begin in May.

Current season-ticket holders were mailed renewal information last month and they will not need to place a deposit for additional seat requests.

In 2007, UH said it sold 22,975 season tickets, which was an increase of 4,760 from the 18,215 sold for the 2006 campaign.
