UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS

The University of Texas will continue to use a football ticket resale policy put in place last season even though it was unpopular with season-ticket buyers, UT athletic director Mike Perrin said. The resale policy, implemented by former athletic director Steve Patterson, was meant to cut down on the number of tickets available on the secondary market. Patterson believed significant numbers of donors and faculty who paid little or no donations to the Longhorn Foundation benefited financially by putting their tickets up for resale on websites such as StubHub and pocketing any profit. Under the revised policy, those who paid the Longhorn Foundation the required donation were allowed to resell their tickets to anyone they saw fit. -Brian Davis, HookEm, Read More
