Texas men’s AD Steve Patterson on Sunday said that season-ticket sales for the '15 football season "are tracking well" compared to '14 at this point, according to Chris Hummer of 247SPORTS.com. Patterson added that revenue for season tickets "compared to last season" is up 9%. Patterson: “I anticipate we’ll be right around where we were last year for season ticket sales.” Season-ticket prices "spiked this offseason" by as much as 30% for tickets near the 50-yard line. These jumps "follow a season in which the Longhorns finished 6-7." Patterson said that season-ticket prices "were adjusted in order to raise revenue and keep up with comparable prices nationally." He added that the price spike in some premium areas "allowed the cost of tickets to stay down in other areas" of Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium. Meanwhile, Patterson said that revenues "were up" for volleyball (+20%) and men’s basketball (+9%) ( 247SPORTS.com, 8/10 ).
