Some UW Band Parents Upset Over Move Of Football Seats

MADISON, Wis. — Some University of Wisconsin-Madison band parents are fuming over the UW Athletic Department’s decision to move their seats and increase tickets prices for the 2009-2010 Badger football season.

In a letter to band parents, the UW-Madison Band Department explained that seats for parents will be moved from the north end zone — directly behind the band — to the south end zone. In addition, ticket prices increased to $273 per season ticket, which is what the general public pays. That’s up from $133 per ticket.
