UVA HAS NO MORE FOOTBALL TICKETS FOR TECH, UNC

Tickets for the University of Virginia's 1993 home football games against Virginia Tech and North Carolina will not be available when single-game sales begin Monday.

UVa officials announced Friday they have sold 22,152 season tickets for the 1993 season, and school officials say they expect sales to exceed 23,000 for the third consecutive season.

"Our season-ticket sales, along with our commitment to those two schools [Tech and North Carolina], has exhausted the supply of tickets for those games," said Dick Mathias, the school's assistant director of athletics for ticket office management.

Season tickets for the six-game home schedule are $112 each and are available by calling (804) 924-8821 or (800) 542-8821 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. `Hooville season tickets, located in the south end zone at Scott Stadium, also remain available for $52 each.

Single-game tickets, priced at $18 each, go on sale Monday.
