Saturday’s Colorado spring football game has been sold out for weeks.
On Monday, CU and head coach Deion Sanders announced that season tickets have been sold out, as well.
“We sold out, which is a blessing,” Sanders said.
For the first time since 1996, CU has sold all of its season tickets. It’s only the ninth time in program history it’s happened and the first time it’s happened before August.
CU sold all of its season tickets in 1972 and during a seven-year stretch from 1990-96.
“Selling out of season tickets for the first time in almost 30 years shows how strong our fan base is,” CU athletic director Rick George said in a press release. “Selling out at the earliest point before a season in our history is a testament to our fans’ thirst to see a championship caliber product on the field. The 100th season of Folsom Field will be a special one with Coach Prime’s first team and a tremendous home schedule on tap. We expect a full house every game and believe we will accomplish that goal shortly after single game tickets go on sale.”
CU finished with a program record season ticket renewal rate of 98 percent, while collecting more than 20,000 interest forms from fans.
Single game tickets will go in sale in May. A public sale of remaining single game tickets is expected for late May.
Students will be able to purchase a student sports pass in July. CU is increasing the student allotment by 1,500 to just under 12,000 total student tickets.
Fans can also sign up to get on a wait list for 2024 season tickets.
On Saturday, the Buffs will play their spring game at Folsom Field at 1 p.m. (ESPN).
