The deal, which will reserve 1,000 student season ticket packages for the six home games this year, will cost around $300 per package on GoDucks.com, based on the fair market value. GoDucks.com will notify University students through their University e-mail accounts when and how they can purchase these packages. “It’s at the request of the ASUO because some die-hard fans couldn’t get tickets,” Dave Willi- ford, executive assistant athletic director, said. By creating a student season ticket option, the ASUO, which was represented by former Ath- letics and Contracts Finance Committee chair Alex McCafferty during the negotiations last academic year, has increased its total allotment of student tickets offered. Before, the ASUO could not afford to purchase the entire student section, which consists of 5,445 seats. Now, with the season pass option, 1,000 student seats are al- ready reserved, and the ASUO can purchase the rest for students who prefer to use tickets already paid for by the incidental fee.
