ROCKIES SEASON-TICKETS AT COORS FIELD RAISING CANE

     "Still smarting" from the 30% increase in next year's ticket
prices, Rockies fans are beginning to question the club's policy
for transferring reserved seats from Mile High Stadium to Coors
Field.  For many season-ticket holders, "the question is simple:
Can I improve my seats?"  Rockies Dir of Ticket Sales Sue Ann
McClaren: "It all depends on cancellations, and how many people
move into the club seats."  The club hopes to assign seats by
mid-November when season-ticket holders will be billed for a 33%
down payment.  Because of construction, fans will not be allowed
to visit Coors Field to inspect their seats.  "Apparently, the
only sure-fire option for improving seat location is to move into
the pricey and exclusive club section."  At $26 a game, a pair of
season tickets costs $4,160.  About 4,400 club seats will be made
available (Paul Hutchinson, DENVER POST, 9/21).
