(Norman-AP) -- The success of the Oklahoma football team has a price -- literally.

Season ticket prices for this fall's home schedule will cost 145 dollars -- 15 dollars more than last year.

But officials remind there are six games in this year's home schedule -- one more than last season -- and that the school's season ticket price is the third-lowest in the Big 12.

Regular ticket prices for Big 12 games will rise by five dollars, and will be available beginning August first. That puts Kansas and Texas Tech tickets at 35 dollars, and Nebraska-Oklahoma tickets at 45 dollars -- if you can get them.

Memorial Stadium seats about 72,000 people. Last season, O-U sold 56,000 season tickets.

Current season-ticket holders get first crack at renewing and purchasing more tickets.
