- Evan Barnes Memphis Commercial Appeal USA TODAY NETWORK - TENNESSEE

The University of Memphis Athletic Department announced Monday that football season tickets are on sale and for the first time in five seasons, prices did not increase.

Premium seats for the 2019 season remained at $350, lower sideline seats are at $300, upper sideline ticket are at $250 and end zone seats are at $150.

Family Fun Zone tickets also remained at $400 for four season tickets.

Parking passes also went on sale Monday and the deadline for renewing season tickets is June 3.

A key change this season is that the Tigers’ six home games will be priced based on opponent, not a flat fee for all home games.

Single-game tickets will go on sale on Aug. 26 and prices for the season debut against Ole Miss on Aug. 31 range from $55-150.

For Cincinnati and Navy, tickets start as low as $20 for the Family Fun Zone and $65 for premium seating.

The department also announced a three-game ticket package that includes the Ole Miss game along with any other two games on the schedule.

The package goes on sale Aug. 5 with prices starting at $75 in the Family Fun Zone with a minimum purchase of four tickets.

The news comes after Athletic Director Tom Bowen said in a February interview with the Commercial Appeal that there would be changes with how tickets are priced for the 2019 season.

Memphis averaged 30,178 announced fans last season, its third consecutiv­e season of decline and its lowest total since 2013.

According to tickets scanned, the Tigers averaged 17,806 fans per game.
