BULLDOG FOOTBALL SEASON TICKETS SOLD OUT
Athletic Media Relations
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State has sold
every available season ticket for the 2011 football season, Mike
Richey, Sr. Associate AD for Bulldog Club and Ticket Operations
announced Friday. It represents the earliest announced sellout
for football season tickets in school history.
Richey indicated 43,518 football season tickets had been sold through
the close of business Friday, the final day Bulldog Club officials
assigned seats to season ticket holders for the 2011 season. That
season ticket figure, which includes 11,000 tickets sold annually to
Mississippi State students, is approximately 200 more than a year ago
when the school set its previous season ticket sales record.
"This is yet another shining example of the excitement surrounding our
football program and unity of the Mississippi State family," director
of athletics Scott Stricklin said. "Our fans have continued to build
upon the momentum we have all created, and we're looking forward to
another fantastic fall together."
The season ticket total represents a large renewal percentage from the
’10 season, and approximately 100 additional orders from
individuals on a first-ever waiting list for season tickets. The
waiting list was addressed in Bulldog Club priority rank order and more
than 600 names remain on the list.
Those who were not able to secure season tickets - those on the waiting
list as well as members of the general public - may still purchase
Mississippi State’s three-game ticket plan, a $75 package that
includes Louisiana Tech, UT-Martin and South Carolina. Only about
1,300 three-game packages remain available for sale. Individual
game tickets for Bulldog Club members will go on sale July 18 for the
three games in the package and the Egg Bowl.
“We have different arrangements with each of our opponents in
terms of number tickets provided to the visiting school,” Richey
said. “Because of those differing numbers, we have additional
tickets to some games that cannot be included in a season ticket
package. These are the only tickets we have remaining at this
time.”
Those interested in purchasing the three-game package, individual game
tickets, or who wish to add their name to the waiting list for future
seasons may contact the MSU Ticket Office at 888-GO-DAWGS.
