Additional seating areas opened to accommodate highest student ticket demand in recent memory
THE FLATS – Georgia Tech students purchased nearly 6,000 season tickets ahead of Wednesday’s deadline, Tech athletics announced on Thursday.
Tech students bought 5,939 season tickets ahead of Wednesday’s deadline, which is by far the highest total in recent memory. The 5,939 tickets sold are a 27% increase (1,257 total season tickets) over last season. Originally, only 5,119 season tickets were allocated for Georgia Tech students in the north end zone at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. Due to the high demand, Tech athletics opened seating in the south end zone to accommodate more than 800 additional student season tickets.
Additionally, Georgia Tech’s allotment of nearly 1,000 complimentary single-game tickets for Saturday’s home opener versus Georgia State was also claimed in its entirety this week. However, Georgia Tech athletics is working to open additional seating areas in Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field to accommodate more Tech students. If additional seating for students does become available, those tickets can be claimed on a first-come, first-served basis on Saturday morning by clicking HERE.
