UH ticket prices will be the same in 2011 but kickoff time will be 30 minutes later (premium seat contributions will increase)

About moving the kickoff time from 5:30pm to 6:05pm unless the time is moved by ESPN, JD said:
"We've continually gotten feedback from season-ticket holders sitting on the mauka sideline (at Aloha Stadium) saying their seats are still hot at 5:30.  [Also,] we've heard from a lot of people who would like a later start to allow them to attend their family's soccer or Pop Warner games and other events." (HSA)


HSA Note: "UH did a survey of ticket buyers in 2009 that found fans split among 5:05 p.m., 5:35 p.m. and 6:05 p.m., with those who tend to purchase tickets on an individual game basis leaning toward 6:05 p.m. UH games, which kicked off at 6:05 p.m. in 2008 and '09, were moved to 5:35 p.m. in part to allow Western Athletic Conference teams to make redeye flights out after the games. Last year's UH games averaged 3 hours, 21 minutes."


HSA Note: "Meanwhile, except for season tickets in premium zones, many prices will remain at pricing levels that have not increased in seven years, UH said. The exceptions are areas that require premium seat contributions above the face value of season tickets, which will rise by $10-30 depending upon location. About 28,500 seats in 50,000-seat Aloha Stadium require premium seat donations and 80 percent of the premium may be tax deductible, UH said."


About keeping individual game tickets the same as last year, except for a $4-10 surcharge for the Colorado, Fresno State, and BYU games, JD said:
"We're very very concerned that the cost of supporting UH and coming to our events remains affordable. We're trying really hard to to keep prices stable and, in some cases, have reduced prices for tickets and (in arena sports) concessions." (HSA)
