Utah State Sets School Record for Football Season Ticket Sales

Utah State [University] football has set a season ticket sales record with a total of 10,784 tickets sold. That number does not include tickets given to USU students for home games.

Utah State’s previous record for ticket sales was 10,037 set during the 2013 season, when the Aggies finished with a 9-5 overall record and defeated Northern Illinois in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.

Individual game tickets will go on sale to the general public Monday, Aug. 17, for all six home games and start at $19. A limited number of season tickets and mini-plans are also on sale.

As of Thursday morning [Aug. 13], less than 300 season tickets and less than 500 single-game tickets remain for the BYU home game Saturday, Nov. 28. Fans interested in purchasing tickets for BYU, Boise State and Colorado State (Homecoming) are encouraged to order tickets early as advanced sellouts are anticipated for all three games.

A focus for the 2015 season has been to increase the game day experience starting with the Macey’s Fan Fest located on 800 East just west of Maverik Stadium. Each game will feature live music presented by Edge Rock & Moto Clothing, former Aggie legends signing autographs presented by Utah State Alumni Association, inflatables and carnival games. Furthermore, USU athletics teams will be signing autographs and there will be food trucks presented by Bone House BBQ & Grill.

A number of changes will take place inside Maverik Stadium, as well. The team’s pre-game entrance will be enhanced with a new inflatable tunnel and flame towers, along with an honorary group of fans forming a tunnel as the Aggies take the field. A variety of in-game enhancements will be made, including an on-field MC, new video board features, a portable sound system and much more. Also new this year is the 5th Quarter postgame entertainment, including two fireworks shows.

All of the new changes surrounding Aggie Football game day were released this spring in the 30 Changes in 30 Days campaign and can be found online.

Tickets can be purchased online, by calling 1-888-USTATE-1 or in person at the Utah State Athletics Ticket Office located on the first floor of the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.

The Aggies begin the season Thursday, Sept. 3, by hosting Southern Utah at 7 p.m. Utah State will begin Mountain West play by hosting Colorado State Saturday, Oct. 3.
