University News Services
Given the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Louisiana-Monroe athletics is lowering football season-ticket prices to make seats more affordable for Warhawk fans. Season-ticket prices have been discounted from $20-$30 per seat, depending on location, according to an announcement made Friday, May 8 by ULM athletic director Scott McDonald.
"We remain sensitive to the fact that all of our stakeholders are facing financial challenges, so that's why we delayed announcing the new pricing structure for football season tickets," McDonald said. "I'm pleased with the aggressive season-ticket pricing structure and extended payment plan that our senior administrative staff has developed. It's arguably the most affordable football season ticket in the Sun Belt Conference."
Season-ticket packages are available for $125 for lower chair backs, $75 for lower bench and upper chair backs, and $50 for general admission. Faculty and staff season-ticket packages are priced at $100 for lower chair backs, $60 for lower bench and upper chair backs, and $40 for general admission.
During the 2018 football season, the price for lower chair back season tickets was $155 and $105 for upper chair backs. Lower bench season tickets cost $105 and general admission was $70.
With just a $20 deposit, season-ticket holders can secure their current seat locations. In addition, fans may take advantage of a three-month payment plan for the cost of the season tickets. The deadline to renew football season tickets is Wednesday, June 17.
ULM Athletic Foundation members may utilize the three-month payment option for lower chair back seat premiums as well as RV and Pecan Grove tailgating spaces.
Season-ticket renewal invoices will be mailed the week of May 18.
New season-ticket purchasers also may take advantage of the three-month payment option.
"Our focus remains on developing game-day guidelines that will ensure the safety of student-athletes, coaches, administrators, staff, alumni, fans and students, " McDonald said. "There's nothing like a football Saturday on The Bayou and tailgating in The Grove, and we look forward to safely welcoming all of our stakeholders back to campus this fall.
"As I've previously stated, the strength of Northeast Louisiana as well as our campus community lies in its people, so together, we'll rebound from this COVID-19 pandemic."
ULM's 2020 home football schedule features a non-conference game against Cal Poly (Sept. 5 at 7 p.m.) as well as Sun Belt Conference match-ups against Texas State (Sept. 19 at 7 p.m.), Georgia Southern (Oct. 3 at 6 p.m.), Appalachian State (Oct. 31 at 6 p.m.) and the Ragin' Cajuns (Nov. 28 at 4 p.m.).
