Bowing to the tough economic realities in this state.
The University of Michigan is decreasing the average price to attend football games for season-ticket holders.
Athletic director Bill Martin told the Associated Press today that a season-ticket holder will pay $50 on average for a ticket after paying $53.57 last year.
“In this challenging time economically, this is our way of thanking our fans who have supported us for decades,” Martin said in a telephone interview. “Unlike most schools, we had an opportunity to lower prices for football tickets.”
Tickets for the eight-game schedule will cost $400, the same price as 2007 when Michigan hosted eight games. Student tickets will cost $200, a decrease of $1.43 per game compared to 2008.
Tickets for individual games will cost $65 for marquee games against Ohio State and Notre Dame and as low as $50 for other matchups at the Big House.
The Wolverines lost a school-record nine games in coach Rich Rodriguez's debut season. U-M opens the ’09 schedule Sept. 5 against Western Michigan.
