Season Tickets
New Reserved Season Tickets
Season tickets are $374 for the 2003-04 season will go on sale online on October 5 at CalBears.com, and via (800) GO BEARS and the Athletic Ticket Office on October 6. All season tickets are seated according to priority points. Points are awarded for giving donations to Bear Backers and for buying season tickets on a consecutive basis (see Bear Backers and Priority Point system below).
Individual Game Tickets
Individual game tickets go on sale October 22. Ticket prices are $22 for most games, and $28 for the Stanford, UCLA, USC, Arizona, Arizona State, and Oregon games.
Reserved Season Ticket Seating
Haas Pavilion will go through a reassignment of all reserved season tickets once every 3-5 years. The 2003-04 men's basketball season is a reseating year. The best strategy for seat improvement for this reseating men's basketball season is continue accumulating priority points through September 1st, so you may get the best seats possible as reassignment is implemented through the SELECT-YOUR-SEAT process. Donations received before September 1st will be counted for point totals for this basketball reseating year, while donations received after this date will not be totaled for this 2003-2004 reseating year.
Parking and Transportation
Season parking is $204 and available only with a season ticket purchase. Season parking is allocated based on donor level and priority points. New season ticket holders who are not Bear Backers can expect a parking space possibly in the Genetics lot or the Lower Hearst lot.
Chairback and Premium Bench Seating
Chairback and Premium Bench seats are sold out. Seats that become available each year are offered in priority point order to those on the waiting list. There is an initial donation requirement ($5,000 per Chairback and $2,500 per premium bench seat), and a longer term annual Bear Backer commitment. To be placed on the waiting list or for more information, please e-mail shomer@uclink4.berkeley.edu or call Susie Homer at (510) 643-0888.
Bear Backers and the Priority Point System
You can make a donation to Bear Backers and receive certain benefits, depending on the level of giving. Among these benefits are priority points that will determine seating for basketball season tickets. A combination of the following factors will determine your priority point total.
1. Number of continuing consecutive years as a Cal men's basketball season ticket holder (5 points per season)
2. Number of continuing consecutive years as a Bear Backer/Athletic Donor (5 points per year)
3. Current annual giving to Cal Athletics (non-campaign) (1 point per $100)
4. Lifetime giving (cumulative, non-campaign) to Cal Athletics (1 point per $200)
5. A gift to the Haas Capital Campaign of 1996-2000 (2 points per $100)
It is important to know that the priority point seating system is designed to reward donors/ticket holders who support Cal over the long run.

Reserved Season Ticket Delivery
Season tickets will be mailed in early November. Please check back later for a specific date or call 800 GO BEARS for more information. Also, please be sure to keep your current address on file with the Athletic Ticket Office. If you move, we need written verification (fax, mail, or change online) of your old and new address. All tickets that are returned because of inadequate addressing will be held at Will Call.
Will Call
Will Call can only be picked up by the primary ticket holder. Valid photo ID is required for ticket pick up. If someone besides the primary ticket holder wishes to pick up tickets, written authorization (fax or mail) is required from the primary ticket holder with a copy of a photo ID. In these cases, the valid photo ID is still required for the recipient specified in the primary ticket holder's written authorization. Tickets will be held at will call under the new person's last name (i.e. if Bucky Badger is picking up tickets that Oski Bear purchased, then the tickets are filed under "Badger, Bucky").
Lost or Destroyed Tickets
All tickets should be treated like cash. Tickets that are lost or destroyed will not be reprinted. Tickets that are stolen will be reprinted for a $5 handling fee only with a police report.
