IOWA CITY – The UI Athletics Ticket Office will begin accepting orders for single-game tickets for five home games of the 2008 University of Iowa football team’s beginning next week.

Single-game tickets will be available for Iowa’s non-conference games against Maine (Aug. 30) and Florida International (Sept. 6), and its games against Big Ten Conference rivals Northwestern (Sept. 27), Penn State (Nov. 8) and Purdue (Nov. 15). Iowa’s games against Iowa State and Wisconsin are sold out.

Tickets can be purchased by telephone at 1-800 IA-HAWKS or online at hawkeyesports.com. The Athletic Ticket Office in Carver-Hawkeye Arena is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The UI will accept single-game orders on the following schedule:

• On Monday (July 14), persons who contribute to the National I-Club at the Kinnick Society and Champion Hawk levels may purchase single-game tickets.

• On Tuesday (July 15), the UI Athletics Ticket Office will accept single-game ticket orders from fans of the Hawkeyes who contribute to the National I-Club at the Silver Hawk, Golden Hawk, Champion Hawk and Kinnick Society levels.

• On Wednesday (July 16), the UI Athletics Ticket Office will accept single-game ticket orders from all contributors to the National I-Club and all current-year season ticket holders.

• On Thursday (July 17), the UI Athletics Ticket Office will accept single-game ticket orders from all contributions to the National I-Club, all current-year season ticket holders, and the general public.

Single-game tickets cost $50 each for all five home games. A $25 youth ticket for use by boys and girls high school aged and younger is also available for Iowa’s games against Maine and Florida International.

The UI will continue to accept orders for season tickets and three-game ticket packages as long as ticket inventory allows for the fulfillment of the order.

The UI anticipates selling as many as 54,000 season tickets to current UI students, UI faculty and staff, and the general public. That total includes a sellout of all premium seating opportunities inside the Paul W. Brechler Press Box. Click HERE to purchase season or three-game tickets.

“I certainly don’t want to wish the remainder of the summer away, but I am very excited about the coming season. I know our football staff and student-athletes are eager to get back on the playing field and, based on the pace of our ticket sales, our fans are also very eager to be back in Kinnick Stadium,” said UI Director of Athletics Gary Barta.

“As always, we’re very, very appreciative of the support we receive and that support is never taken for granted.”

Iowa will enter the 2008 college football season with a string of 30 consecutive sellouts at historic Kinnick Stadium.

Iowa’s first three games of the 2008 season – Maine on Aug. 30, Florida International on Sept. 6 and Iowa State in the annual Hy-Vee Cy-Hawk Series event on Sept. 13 – will be played at Kinnick Stadium with kickoff for each scheduled for shortly after 11 a.m. All three games will be televised live by the Big Ten Network.

The Hawkeyes’ 2008 Homecoming game against Northwestern on Sept. 27 will also kick off shortly after 11 a.m. The source of the live television coverage of that event is yet to be announced. The start times and television sources for Iowa’s other three home games in 2008 are also yet to be determined.
