The Family Plan, which includes two adult and two youth general admission season tickets in Memorial Stadium’s North Bowl, costs $450. In 2008, the Family Plan section sold out before the start of the season. Kansas Athletics also announced a new season ticket option, the Crimson Zone ticket—a reserved seat in Sections 1 and 2—for just $225, as well as the introduction of a new payment plan option that gives fans the opportunity to spread out their payments by having Kansas Athletics deduct a set amount from their bank account each month.

KU plays Missouri in the Border Showdown at Arrowhead Stadium for the third consecutive year. Similar to 2008, the Missouri game is not included in the season ticket package. Information regarding Arrowhead parking and tickets, as well as 2009 season parking passes on campus, will be released at a later date.

Kansas has set attendance records at Memorial Stadium each of the last four years. Last season, the Jayhawks averaged 50,907 fans per game, an all-time high. Click here to see the complete 2009 KU football schedule.
