Athletic ticket packages now for sale

Attention, UNT athletic fans! Ticket packages with season tickets for UNT football and UNT men's and women's basketball are finally available. The packages also include membership in the Mean Green Club, an organization that bolsters support for UNT athletics.

Broken into four options, the packages make season tickets available to UNT faculty and staff at a rate below that available to the public.

UNT faculty and staff members will be charged $800 for the Mean Green ticket package, $520 for the North Texan package, $440 for the Boomer package and $260 for the Scrappy package.

The Mean Green Package includes two football season tickets in sections D,E, F or M of Fouts Field (priority seating in the best seats available), two men's basketball season floor-level tickets and two women's basketball season tickets. These ticket packages are limited. The athletic department will start a waiting list for those interested. Floor seating for the Lady Eagles games can be obtained for an additional $50, while quantities last.

The North Texas Package includes two football season tickets in sections D, F or M of Fouts Field, two men's basketball season tickets (lower level at center court) and two women's basketball season tickets. As with the Mean Green Package, floor seating for the Lady Eagles games is an additional $50.

The Boomer Package includes two football season tickets in sections B, C, G or H of Fouts Field, two men's basketball season tickets and two women's basketball season tickets.

The Scrappy Package includes two football season tickets in sections A or I of Fouts Field, two men's basketball season tickets and two women's basketball season tickets.

The packages are one way Athletic Director Rick Villarreal is working to increase athletic support and participation by all members of the UNT community.

"We have the opportunity to build a very strong and formidable athletic program here," says Villarreal. "Our successful campaign will result in increased season ticket sales and significant growth in Mean Green Club membership. This, in turn, will allow the athletic department to achieve its goals in terms of providing student athletes with an outstanding academic opportunity, improved facilities and competitive schedules in all sports."

Ticket packages are available in the UNT ticket office, located next to Fouts Field, or by calling 565-2527. Visit this web site, www.unt.edu/inhouse, to read about ticket package options as more information becomes available.
