News release from Texas A&M Athletics:
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION –Texas A&M football season tickets are sold out for the second straight year with the 12th Man already purchasing over 91,000 tickets for the initial campaign of the Mike Elko era, the athletics department announced.
More than 54,000 season tickets were sold, and the season ticket renewal rate was 97%, which was a record for the redeveloped Kyle Field.
Additionally, the total season tickets purchased in 2024 includes nearly 37,000 student sports passes, which are close to selling out and have been purchased at a record pace since being made available to current and incoming students on April 1.
Students without a sports pass may visit the north ticket windows on Fridays of each game week to purchase walk-up single game tickets. Student walk-up tickets are all subject to availability. Students with sports passes wishing to purchase a guest ticket may do so during their designated ticket pull time, subject to availability. Guest tickets will be extremely limited for Notre Dame and Texas. Visit www.12thmanfoundation.com/students for more information.
“The extraordinary demand for sports passes underscores the unmatched dedication and enthusiasm of our students for the 2024 Aggie Football season,” Texas A&M Director of Athletics Trev Alberts said. “We are incredibly proud to boast the nation’s largest student section and the most passionate student body. Their unwavering support as the 12th Man is truly remarkable and sets the tone for an unforgettable season ahead.”
In a rarity among collegiate stadiums, most of the prime seats behind the opponent’s bench are filled with Texas A&M students stretching endzone to endzone in all three decks. Only three sections in the first deck are filled with non-student season ticket holders, as per SEC rules. The loyal support of the 12th Man has made Kyle Field one of the most intimidating road venues and given the Aggies a distinct home field advantage since 1905. In fact, Kyle Field was recently rated the toughest place to play in EA Sports’ upcoming College Football 25 video game.
Single game tickets, excluding the Notre Dame and Texas games, go on sale on July 18 and may be purchased at www.12thmanfoundation.com or by calling 888-992-4443. Additionally, tickets to the Southwest Classic vs. Arkansas at AT&T Stadium will be available for purchase in early July.
