As I said in the recruiting event season tickets base price will be $110 with the discounted tickets at $95ea.

You can put a deposit down for $25.

There was no mention of HuskieLand tickets on the handout.

When can you order season tickets?

You can put a $25 deposit down now. I don't know when the rest is due.

Can you pick the seat you will get? I'm interested in getting mine soon.

Call or email Eric and see if you can....sorry didn't post the phone number.(815) 752-6800

Maybe we'll get a bobblehead of Sean Frazier as a season ticket premium.

One BOLD statement at the signing day event was that athletics goal was to DOUBLE the season ticket holders THIS YEAR. They are certainly cooking up something...hope its some good stuff!

So that would be a goal of about 8K.

HJ, last year they had the "kick-off" event before the final Basketball home game which was a Saturday.

Do you see them doing the same this year (Saturday 3/8.) or waiting til maybe Spring Football as a seperate event?

I've never bought season tickets, count me in for 2 this year!

I am guessing no HASK kickoff...but I wouldnt be surprised if they had a ticket renewal packet pick up for that last home MBB game.

My guess is Frazier is putting a stop to the free lunch that was the Kickoff. Making events exclusive should make more people want to join/donate.

Thanks. Probably a good guess....I imagine we'll get a clue by the end of the month.

I love the hast kickoff.. they should restrict it to a certain donor level

When did you get the email? And from who? I never get emails from hasf. I have to contact Zach if I need something

I agree but it seems like it is not being held this year.

I think we have to pay for our lunches from now on...which I don't mind since I want my HASF money to go towards the program and not a free meal.

The day I posted this. ;-)

I think it was from NIU Athletics...I deleted the e-mail this week.

I know they are doing major updates with their information system so hopefully these type of communications get better.

Like any college organization of this type they are all over you if you have the bucks...
When I went from four figure donation to zero I dropped off of their radar in a hurry
I expected that so no big deal for me....just part of the college athletics scene

Not always the case. I donate at one of the top HASF levels, and they have no clue who I am. The only time I've been contacted personally was to request more donations for the Yordon and Chessick.

Spoke with athletics the other day. Season ticket packages/HASF updates will be mailed out by mid march.
