RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Department of Intercollegiate Athletics released the following statement on Tuesday regarding resale prices and alleged locations for tickets to the inaugural Vaqueros football game:
 
UTRGV Athletics has become aware of tickets being sold on secondary markets to our first football game on Aug. 30 for high prices in unavailable locations.
 
To date, standing room only tickets have not been made available for sale. While a few media outlets will be receiving standing room only tickets as part of their sponsorship to use as on-air giveaways, those tickets have not yet been delivered. Almost all standing room only tickets will be put on sale the Friday before each home game at 8 a.m. at UTRGVTickets.com. That means that standing room only tickets for the first game will be available for purchase on Aug. 29 at 8 a.m. Fans are cautioned not to purchase any alleged standing room only tickets currently being sold for UTRGV football games as they are likely fraudulent.
 
Fans are also encouraged to protect their digital tickets by not sharing images or screenshots of their tickets or barcodes.
 
If season ticket holders with legitimate seats have chosen to use secondary markets to sell their tickets for the first game and/or future games, UTRGV Athletics does not control the prices being charged by these individuals, which in many cases are well above face value.
 
Season tickets, which this season include seven home games, ranged from just $75 to $350 for reserved seating, with the higher end price including seats at midfield. We are committed to keeping tickets affordable for all UTRGV Athletic events, including the inaugural football season.
 
A limited number of single-game tickets will be available exclusively through UTRGV's official ticketing partner, Showpass, at UTRGVTickets.com. Tickets go on sale at 8 a.m. the Friday before each home game at the following face values:
 
Sections 105-107: $50
Sections 103-104, 108-109, 116-118: $35
Sections 101-102, 110-111: $25
Sections 113-115, 119-127: $20
Standing Room Only: $15
 
We greatly appreciate the support and excitement of the community for the start of Division I football in the Valley. Now let's #RallyTheValley and make history together.
