Season Ticket Sales on Upswing
Anticipation is high for the 2003 football
season at the University of Missouri. The Tigers have been picked
among the nation’s top 25 teams in various pre-season
publications, and many prognosticators believe this will be
the year that Mizzou Head Coach Gary Pinkel and his troops make
a big statement.
Tiger fans have also jumped on board to
show their excitement. According to Director of Marketing and
Promotions Frank Cuervo, public season ticket sales are up by
nearly 1,000 tickets when compared to this time last year. Cuervo
believes that Mizzou is on pace to record its highest sales
total since the 2000 season, when Mizzou had sales of nearly
34,000 season tickets.
“We’re pleased that our fans
have responded so well to the excitement and positive publicity
that has surrounded the team during the off-season,” said
Cuervo. “What’s even more encouraging to me is that
our public sales campaign is still to come, these numbers reflect
the general level of excitement out there on the streets,”
he said.
Cuervo said that a comprehensive marketing
campaign will soon be launched that will include television,
radio and print ads around the state of Missouri. One TV spot
will feature standout sophomore quarterback Brad
Smith.
Season tickets are available by calling
the Mizzou Athletic Ticket Office at 1-800-CAT-PAWS (884-PAWS
in Columbia), or are available for purchase online by visiting
the official website of the Mizzou
Athletic Department.
