Colorado athletic department officials said going into last weekend about450 tickets had been purchased for the annual recruiting luncheon on Thursday. That number is down sharply from just two years ago when the department hosted about 1,500 fans in 2008 for coach Dan Hawkins’ post-signing day recruiting showcase in a downtown Denver hotel.

The decline actually began last year when CU significantly raised ticket prices to include $35 of every $75 ticket to be treated as a donation. The price this year is back down to $50 for one seat, $500 for a table of 10 and $600 for a corporate table at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel.

Highlights from each recruit’s high school or junior college career are shown and Hawkins discusses the class and his program afterward. Hawkins also has taken questions from fans in the past. Lunch is at 11:30 and the program begins at noon.
