(U-WIRE) BOULDER, Colo. -- Colorado's "Your Team" ticket campaign sold 322 new football season tickets in the last month, raising the total of new season tickets to 1,071 since May 31.

The ticket campaign, which ran from July 11 to Aug. 10, involved groups of Buffaloes supporters who helped to "spread the word" and sell football season tickets.

"We are fortunate to have these enthusiastic supporters help us during the 'Your Team' campaign," CU Director of Licensing Bruce Fletcher said. "They did a great job to ensure that this program would be successful, and we're excited about the results."

Teams of four hit the pavement for CU over the last month, selling tickets while vying for various prizes.

The top team of Jerry Johnson, Tom Gleason, Howard Jaidinger and Susan Nalbone sold 152 season tickets. They won a suite and four club seats to the Texas A&M game on Oct. 8, plus on-field passes and breakfast at the team hotel.

Johnson was the top individual, selling 77 season tickets and winning a trip for two to an away football game.

Gleason was third on the individual list with 35 and won a football signed by the 2005 CU football team.

The quartet of Kim Moss, Mark Helton, Larry Gray and Andrew Unkefer took second place with 56 season tickets sold. They won four club seats to the Texas A&M game, along with on-field passes and breakfast at the team hotel.

Moss also was No. 2 on the individual list, selling 41 tickets and taking home four club seats to the homecoming game against the Aggies.

Finishing third in the team competition were Nelson Minter, Fenton Bain, Pat Grimes and Charlie Whitaker, who sold 36 season tickets and won a breakfast at the team hotel.

Jaidinger wound up fourth on the individual list with 34 tickets sold, and Brian May was fifth with 28.

What a great idea! You throw prize opportunities at the Mean Green fandom and you might even beat some of those CU numbers!

Actually UNT used this tactic a few years back the first time Baylor played at Fouts. It was only for one game instead of season tickets. I remember George Dunham talking about it on The Ticket, each person was tasked with selling something like 100 tickets each... Dunham made one call to Mark Cuban who bought all 100.
