CINCINNATI - The countdown to the 2010 University of Cincinnati football season continues with the opener just over 40 days away and the UC student convenience season ticket package, created in 2009 with the support of the UC Student Government, has sold out for the second consecutive season.
Students have exhausted 2,500 advance season tickets and 500 student guest season tickets in the south end zone for the upcoming year.
"This is the second year that the student season ticket package has been offered, and just like last year, it is very apparent how much pride our students have for this football team and the University," Student Government President Drew Smith said. "Last year's explosive season drove UC pride to an all-time high and we are seeing the results of that now. Students believe in Bearcats football. Outside of selling out of the season ticket package, there is an increase in attendance to away football games. The student support is outstanding."
Students who were unable to purchase the convenience ticket package before the sell out can still acquire tickets in the student section for 2010. The remaining 3,000 FREE student tickets will be available 10 days prior to each game. Students can pick up their tickets at the Richard E. Lindner Center with a valid student ID or print from home for $1.50 at www.CATSTIX.com. Students who purchased a season ticket package are NOT eligible for an additional FREE ticket.
