STARKVILLE, Miss. - The Mississippi State Athletic Ticket Office has announced that individual game tickets for the Bulldogs' Oct. 24 game with Florida have been exhausted, Assistant Athletic Director for Ticket Operations John King said Tuesday. The only way now to see the State-UF match-up is through the purchase of full-price season tickets or the three-game mini-plan, which includes the Houston, Georgia Tech and Florida games.
Through the close of business Monday, Aug. 10, Mississippi State had sold a record 38,839 season tickets. That number includes 10,000 student season tickets, a number the student body could easily eclipse when those tickets go on sale later this month. The ticket office reported selling 711 season tickets during the previous week, the largest one-week total in more than two months.
A limited number of full-price season tickets, priced at $240 each, remain available for purchase. The reduced-plan mini-pack tickets (Georgia Tech, Houston and Florida) are available for the discounted price of just $75, a $55 savings over the individual-game cost of the three tickets. Those seats will be primarily located in Sections 305 to 309 of the upper level on the west side. More than 500 mini-plan tickets have been sold.
For more information, fans are encouraged to contact the ticket office at 1-888-GO-DAWGS (1-888-463-2947) or visit the athletic department web site (www.mstateathletics.com).
Across campus from the MSU ticket office on Tuesday, the 2009 Bulldog football team worked in one of its most intense practices of the preseason. The squad practiced twice on Monday and will hit the field a pair of times on Wednesday as well.
"We only practiced once, but it was a good, hard practice," head coach Dan Mullen said. "We were a little bit more competitive, and did a little scrimmaging there at the end."
