Miami Bowl Tickets Information

Oct. 27, 2003

Dear Canes Fan:

With a convincing victory over Florida State to continue an undefeated season, your Miami Hurricanes are poised for a third straight championship game appearance in three years! This year’s title contest is at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, Louisiana. While significant Big East opponents lie ahead, we want you to be a part of bowl season, regardless of where the Canes play.

Once again, we expect demand for tickets to exceed our allotment for any BCS bowl game in which UM participates. Therefore, the right to purchase bowl tickets is only guaranteed to ACTIVE 2003 Hurricane Club members in good standing as of Friday, October 31st, 2003. It is not too late to join and guarantee your priority to buy Bowl tickets. The number of tickets Hurricane Club members are able to purchase depends on their 2003 donation outlined on the following page.

We will only be able to accept ticket orders equal to your donation level in the Hurricane Club. Should tickets remain after fulfilling Hurricane Club member requests, consideration will be given to season football ticket holders, Alumni, and general public in that order.

Enclosed you will find a Hurricane Club membership application to join or to increase your current level of contribution, as well as a summary of important UM ticket dates and BCS bowl game locations and dates. If you have any questions please call our offices at 305-284-6699 or 1-800-GO-CANES. The deadline for donations to receive bowl ticket priority is Friday, October 31st, 2003.

All Hurricane Club members and season ticket holders will receive a bowl ticket order form via mail that can be sent back with your order approximately November 15th, 2003. To guarantee your priority, forms must be received by the deadlines listed on the enclosed page of important dates.

We hope to see you in January! Go Canes!

With Best Regards,

J. Brian Cockerham
Assistant Athletic Director, Development
