LUBBOCK, Texas - The first of four payments for 2008 Texas Tech Football season ticket renewals are due March 3 with additional payments due April 10 and May 8, according to a timeline announced today by the athletics department. Final payment is due June 12.

The season ticket costs can be paid in full during that time period as long as one-quarter is paid by March 3. Renewals were mailed to current season ticket holders last week. Fans that renew online and pay their season ticket balance in full are eligible for a drawing to win a flat-screen HDTV, courtesy of Wal-Mart.

Club seat upgrades for Red Raider Club members will take place April 9-10 at The Stadium Club. Priority upgrades for Red Raider Club members at the $4,000+ levels are scheduled for April 15, followed by upgrades for those in the $750-$3,999 levels April 16. RRC donors between the $150-$749 levels are slated for upgrades April 17. Other season ticket holder upgrades will take place April 18.

Red Raider fans that did not purchase season tickets last year and want to get in on the season ticket action for 2008 can place reservations through the ticket office. Those who reserve season tickets in advance will be placed in available seating before season tickets go on sale to the general public April 22.

Individual game pre-order forms will be mailed to all season ticket holders and RRC members at the $750 level and above May 19 with a due date of July 16. RRC members at the $150 levels and above will have the opportunity to purchase individual game tickets July 23-25.
