FRESNO, Calif. - Bulldog fans only have until Friday to get their tickets for the Silicon Valley Football Classic through the Fresno State Athletics Ticket Office. Buying through the ticket office guarantees seating in the Fresno State section.
The Bulldogs, who are 11-2 and ranked No. 20 in the national polls, will play Michigan State in the second annual Silicon Valley Football Classic on Dec. 31 at noon at Spartan Stadium in San Jose.
Fresno State has already sold over 12,500 tickets for the game and averaging around 500 tickets sold per day according athletics ticket manager Scott Wetherbee. However, Friday is the final day the Bulldog Ticket Office will be taking order for tickets. After that, fans will have to purchase tickets through the Silicon Valley Football Classic but will likely not be in Fresno State's section behind the Bulldog bench.
"From a convenience standpoint, it would be easier to buy through us online or through the ticket office than calling the bowl directly," Wetherbee said. "Plus our fans can all sit together in the same area of the stadium.
Tickets are available for $60, $40 and $30. The Bulldog New Year's Eve Party at the Double Tree Hotel is already sold out.
"We are extremely pleased with ticket sales and the excitement for the bowl," said Interim Athletics Director Scott Johnson. "We would love to have the entire Fresno State side become a sea of red. There are still good tickets available in the Fresno State section."
Tickets are available for the Fresno State Quarterback Club Pregame Tailgate Party. Those tickets, along with game tickets, can be purchased at the Bulldog ticket office, online at gobulldogs.com or by calling (559) 278-DOGS.
