LOGAN, Utah - Utah State's athletics department announced Thursday increased ticket prices and Big Blue Scholarship Fund donation levels for the 2008 football season. USU will have six home dates this fall, including games with in-state rivals Brigham Young and Utah.

The six-game home schedule, which also includes match-ups with Western Athletic Conference members Fresno State, Hawai'i, Idaho and New Mexico State, is its first since the 1998 season.

Season tickets for west side chair back seats will cost $150 and requires a Big Blue donation. East side season tickets will cost $110 and general admission season tickets will be $100.

All of the revenue generated from the increased ticket prices and donation levels will be used to help Utah State's Operating Budget which currently ranks last in the Western Athletic Conference and offset the continued rise in travel costs for each of its 16 varsity sports.

Fans will be able to renew their season tickets for the 2008 season beginning on Friday, Feb. 1 on-line only at www.utahstateaggies.com . Paper applications will be mailed out on Wednesday, Feb. 20.

New season ticket purchases will not be available until June 2, but fans can contact the ticket office for a new season ticket application and be placed on a reserve list.
