Ticket sales launch for UTRGV’s September showdown with UTSA
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley has opened the first round of ticket requests for its much‑anticipated football clash against the University of Texas at San Antonio, scheduled for September 5 at the iconic Alamodome. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m., and the match promises a showdown between two Texas‑border programs eager to showcase their talent on a historic venue.
Loyalty‑points drive ticket allocation
Fans who wish to secure seats must complete an online request form available at GoUTRGV.com/UTSATickets. Allocation of tickets hinges on a Vaqueros Loyalty Points ranking, meaning that supporters with higher points can claim more seats. The system ties ticket access to a combination of loyalty‑point standing and limited inventory, creating a competitive but transparent process for the university community.
Each ticket carries a flat price of $41 and is restricted to the sections designated by UTRGV for this game. The number of tickets a fan can purchase is directly linked to their position on the loyalty‑points leaderboard, encouraging supporters to boost their rank through season‑ticket purchases or contributions to the Vaqueros Athletic Fund.
Key dates and payment requirements
The window to earn loyalty points closes on June 30, after which the rankings are frozen and the ticket‑request period begins. Prospective attendees have until July 6 to submit their requests, and UTRGV Athletics plans to start fulfilling those requests on July 13. Once a request is approved, payment must be received in full within 24 hours.
This ticketing model reflects the university’s effort to reward its most engaged supporters while managing demand for a high‑profile non‑conference matchup. By tying access to loyalty points, UTRGV hopes to deepen fan investment and ensure that the Alamodome crowd reflects the breadth of its donor base.
