In 1992, with Iho Ducks appearing in their third
howl game in four years, the agent v has sold only
20 travel par kages
"There is no! -is mui h Interest in the howl
game tills year," said Sunrise travel agent Sara
Wolf "People aren't as enthusiastic this time
around
Wolf said there were a numlrer of reasons lor
the slow sales of the bowl packages
"The game is -It a hud time for some people,
right after Christmas, Wolf s.nd "Plus, a lot of
people just don't want to spend New Year's in
Shreveport
Wolf also said increased airfare has made the
pat kages nun h more expensive than they were in
mwj
"In lotto, airfare to Shreveport was $276 Now
the flight tosls $406." Wolf said "Money's a lot
tighter these days
Sales are also slow at Rod Baron Travel, which
has organized a charter flight from Eugene to
Shreveport in conjunction with three other Eu
gene travel agencies
"We have spar e for 124 passengers, and we’ve
sold 60 seats," said Red Huron representative Bill
Davis "Interest in this game is way down, il
doesn't even compare to 1969 ”
Travel packages range in prior from S528 to
S725, hut some pur kages do not include costs
sw fi us game tickets, insurance and transfers. An
Indejientient.T Howl tic ket costs $10 Red Huron's
package includes extras such as a pre-game rally
and a Now Year's Eve party.
Athletic department ticket office manager Hunt
Molsupple said the office has sold between 900
and 1.000 orders for tickets to date
"Ticket sales are fine, really," Holsupple said
"The two years are not comparable because in
19H9 the guine was played on Dr* 16. which

meant th»l people only hud two weeks to pur
chase tickets I think people are still finalizing
their travel plans this year, so sales should in
crease in the upcoming weeks "
Margaret l-'cller, assistant manager of the athlet
ic. department tic ket office, said it is too early to
estimate final ticket sale totals
Over the-wlndcnv sales of tickets won't begin
until Die 15." Feller said "Until then, we are
taking orders lor tickets. A person c an order their
ticket now, and then pick the ticket up later "
idler said that souvenir tickets could also
boost total sales For the- S30 face value of a tick
et. a person can receive a souvenir ticket from tile
game and allow the seat to lie used by a needy
child from the Shreveport area.
Holsapple said the athletic department would
be pleased if tic ket sales approached the numbers
reached in when more than 5,(K)0 support
ers made the trip to Shreveport
As part of its Independence Bowl agreement
this year, the University has purchased it.140
tickets.
Wolf fore sees the Oregon booster contingent
this year being much smaller than the group that
made the trip in 1080, falling fall short of the
5,000 people hoped for by the athletic depart
ment
"The way sales have been going, I'd say at the
most 2.000 to 3,000 people might make the trip,"
Wolf said
