Iowa Halts Sale Of Football Season Tickets, Citing Uncertainty

The Univ. of Iowa "will pause ticket sales at the end of this month" amid "uncertainty of whether college football games will be played this fall." Only fans who have "renewed their season ticket orders and paid per-seat contributions by June 30 will be included in any potential Kinnick Stadium seating plans." New sales of the "digital season pass, mini-plans and single-games ticket sales will be put on hold." Also, Iowa "will discontinue the use of traditional paper tickets this fall." Football tickets generate about $23M per year for the school, "roughly 20% of its athletic department budget" (IOWA CITY PRESS-CITIZEN, 6/22).
