Quote about new season ticket sales

About how they feel they can surpass their goal to get to 30,000 season tickets, John McNamara said:
"We feel good, at this point, that we will be able to get north of 30,000." (HA)

HA Note: "If you're ever going to be able to get back to season-ticket highs of the past, this would seem to be the season for it. Never have the Warriors had a more positive experience or more pleasant memories to sell. Thankfully, unlike what has too often been the case in the past, UH isn't just sitting back and, in a posture that has smacked of arrogance, said, in essence, take it or leave it. No longer is it curiously trying to raise money by charging fewer people much higher prices.

This time UH is finally trying to win back fans and grab new ones, putting plenty into the push beyond the usual contest drawings, etc. Prices are frozen at 2007 levels and an additional eighth home game added. UH officials also are pledging to get season-ticket holders pay-per-view road games either free or at a significantly reduced price. The two biggest areas to gauge the UH football future are recruiting and season-ticket sales. While it might take a couple years for a true read on the recruiting class, season-ticket results will have an immediate impact."
