Harvard To Sell Student Athletic Tickets At Nominal Price
Boston February 28 Harvard announces that Athletic Association tickets will be sold to each student for a small sum. The ticket grants membership to the association and access to all Cambridge games, including Yale and Pennsylvania matchups, with seating choices for crew races and boat club access. Each student may buy one nontransferable ticket. This follows President Eliot’s report criticizing overemphasis on finance in college athletics. Previously students paid 3 dollars or more for tickets and up to 2 or 3 dollars for Yale and Pennsylvania seats, with yearly costs potentially 20 to 30 dollars. The plan reduces revenue but broadens access.
