Cheer On Duke With Employee Athletic Pass

For Bill LeFevre, the deal was too good
to pass up.

After learning about
the Duke Employee Athletic Pass two years ago, LeFevre used the faculty and
staff discount program to buy steeply discounted football tickets, as well as
tickets to women's basketball games. As a fan of the back-to-back ACC champion
women's basketball team, LeFevre and his wife, Polly, never miss a chance to
watch the Blue Devils play at home in Cameron Indoor Stadium with friends.

"It's a great team,
and we like the way Joanne McCallie has developed the program," said LeFevre,
executive director of Sarah P. Duke Gardens. "We just really like the crowd at
games, and you can't beat the price."

Duke faculty and
staff can now purchase the 2011-12 Employee Athletic Pass to all home football
and women's basketball games. The football season kicks off Sept. 3 when Duke
hosts the University of Richmond; the women's basketball team starts its
2011-12 regular season in November.

As part of the annual
Employee Athletic Pass, presented by the Duke Credit Union, employees can save
$560 on a family season ticket plan for football that includes four tickets to
each home game for $280. A single season ticket is $140, a savings of $70 from
the regular price. Each extra seat added to either plan costs $70 each. All
employee pass seats are in sections 7 to 10 of Wallace Wade Stadium, which span
from the 35 to 50-yard lines.

The employee pass for all home women's basketball
games is $75 for four tickets - $385 off the normal price. Faculty and staff can also buy additional seats for $18.75 each with the Employee Athletic Pass. Tickets are general admission.

By August of last
year, Duke Athletics sold out of the Employee Athletic Pass at 4,000.

"We believe that the
Employee Athletic Pass is one of the best deals in all of college athletics and
certainly in the ACC," said Mike Forman, assistant director of marketing and
promotions for Duke Athletics. "For only $10 per ticket per game with our
family pass, Duke employees can enjoy the game-day football atmosphere - the
Blue Devil team walk, inflatable games, live music and face painting in Blue
Devil Alley which all culminates with great games in Wallace Wade Stadium. Fans
also get the chance to watch one of the best women's basketball teams in the
country on the cheap too."

In addition to 2011
games against ACC foes like Florida State and Virginia Tech, Duke football will
also host Stanford University, which features 2010 Heisman Trophy runner-up
Andrew Luck, a second-team All-American quarterback in 2010.

As an Employee
Athletic Pass ticket holder, fans also have exclusive opportunities to buy
tickets to men's basketball games. Athletic Pass holders also receive one free
gift item per ticket, like a hat or T-shirt.
