Badger basketball fans on a budget may need to skip that box of popcorn next season.
An increase of $2 per game for men’s basketball tickets is part of a proposed budget that was unveiled Tuesday at a UW Athletic Board finance committee meeting. Student tickets for men’s hockey will also hike by $1 per game, but no other ticket increases were proposed.
….John Jentz, UW assistant athletic director for finance, did not rule out the possibility of additional ticket hikes making their way into the budget in the next month. He did say they were unlikely though, even as the athletic department tries to erase a $1.37 million shortfall in the preliminary 2006-07 budget.
