WSU Football:Cougar football single game tickets go on sale

Washington State athletics announced Cougar football tickets for individual games go on sale this Saturday, August 1, 2009 at 10am.

Dan Meyer, WSU Director of Ticket Sales announced that both single game tickets and a special 3-pack home game combination will be available as well.

"This special on-line pre-sale opportunity will extend throughout the weekend at the Cougar Athletics official website, WSUCougars.com," Meyer said. "Phone sales and in-person sales at the WSU Athletic Ticket Office will begin Monday, August 3, at 9 a.m."

This should be good news to many as there have been several inquiries from Examiner.com readers about when tickets will be available.

Season ticket holders have had access to single game seats since last April. Clearly there is advantage to having season tickets.

Though it goes without saying, we're going to say it anyway. Your access to Martin Stadium seating is on a first-come first-served basis.

That said, WSU ticket sales will always offer the best seats available at the time you are ready to make a purchase.

"We are extremely excited about the opportunity to provide our fans with this pre-sale opportunity via our internet sales channel," Meyer said. "We anticipate our customers will appreciate the ease with which they can purchase tickets this weekend."

The Cougs have an outstanding home schedule this season. Couple that with a much improved football team under second-year Coach Paul Wulff and there will be demand for seats. Don't hesitate or you might miss out on one of the great experiences in college sports. Football in Pullman is a truly special experience.

"I'm excited at the opportunity to open the season against a Pac-10 opponent (Stanford) in Pullman," said Meyer. "The way the schedule lines up, we should have a good mix of weather, special events and solid opponents to get Cougar Nation fired up to come out to Martin Stadium."

WSU kicks off the season against Stanford, Sept. 5. The Cougars then face June Jones’ SMU Mustangs in the only Pullman non-conference matchup on September 19.  Arizona State is the sole Martin Stadium opponent in October, playing the role of homecoming opponent on October 10.

Dad's Weekend features the UCLA Bruins for a November 14 matchup before WSU concludes its home season against the defending Sun Bowl champion Oregon State Beavers, November 21.
