Football Game: Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss

October 3, 2009; Time TBD
Vanderbilt Stadium
Tickets are $50 per person (limit 4 per family); your VU student will be sitting in the student only section. To allow for students to have enough seating at this game, you will not be able to sit with your student in the student section. If you would like to sit with your student, you will need to purchase additional ticket(s) for them. Because this game is expected to sell out early, a limited number of tickets will be sold as part of the Family Weekend registration process on a first-come first-serve basis. This registration will be available online August 10th. Pre-registered tickets will be available for pick up in your Family Weekend registration packet when you arrive on campus.

If you do not plan on registering for Family Weekend and would like to purchase tickets for the game only, these tickets may be purchased in September, by calling the Vanderbilt Ticket Office at 877-448-2639 or by going online to www.vucommodores.com. Ticket availability may be limited.
