HONOLULU - The University of Hawai'i Athletics Department has launched 2007-08 men's basketball season-ticket renewals and tipped off a deposit program that allows fans to initiate new season-ticket purchases. Season-ticket prices and premium seat contributions have not increased from 2006-07 levels.

Fans renewing their season tickets or placing a $50 non-refundable deposit for new season tickets by Friday, May 11, will receive a coupon for two (2) free football tickets to the Charleston Southern game (upper-level, end zone sections) on Sept. 22 and qualify for the chance to win airfare for two to Las Vegas, compliments of Hawaiian Airlines.* The coupon for football tickets will be mailed in August.

The $50 non-refundable deposit (per order, not per ticket) applies to new season-ticket purchases only, not renewals. Following the completion of the renewal process in August, fans will be contacted in the order that their deposit was received to secure their seat assignments and finalize payment.

Renewals and deposits for new season tickets can be paid online and at the Stan Sheriff Center Box Office. Current season-ticket holders will be mailed renewal information on Monday.

The ticket and Las Vegas airfare promotion will end May 11 but the renewal period will continue until May 18, and deposits will be taken until August.

* Las Vegas Promotion: All individuals are eligible and no purchase is required. For those not renewing season tickets or placing a deposit, registration forms are available at the Stan Sheriff Center Box Office.
