While the Raiders fans will pay thousands of dollars for personal seat licenses and season tickets to attend NFL games at the new Raiders stadium, UNLV football fans will be able to watch Rebels football at the new stadium starting in 2020 for as low as 99 bucks for an entire college football season’s worth of games.
UNLV Thursday announced its 2019 football season ticket renewal deals, which start at a rock-bottom price of $99 for all six homes games during the last season at Sam Boyd Stadium.
And here’s the kicker: if you buy the 2019 UNLV football season ticket deal, you will receive the same per game price for a comparable seat location at the new $1.8 billion stadium project in 2020, when the domed, 65,000-seat venue opens.
UNLV even has a name for the 2019 season ticket deal — “Faithful Fan Pricing,” which allows fans to pay the same amount for the seat at the new Raiders stadium in 2020. In a press release, UNLV Athletics Director Desiree Reed-Francois offered this statement: “The Faithful Fan Price is our way of showing appreciation for the loyalty and support that we have received over the years from our dedicated fans . . . It also allows interested community members that are not currently season ticket holders to join the UNLV football family. When we conducted our initial Las Vegas Stadium fan surveys, price was of considerable concern and we heard the feedback.”
UNLV is anticipating that seat selection for the 2020 season at the new stadium will begin in January. Seat selection order will be determined by Rebel Athletic Fund priority points within the three groups below. Memberships in the RAF start at just $25 and support UNLV student-athlete scholarships. Your three groups are:
Group #1:
– Current season ticket holders who are also Rebel Athletic Fund members
– Rebel Athletic Fund Loyalty Circle members
– Las Vegas Stadium UNLV suite deposit investors
– Fertitta Football Complex supporters
Group #2:
– Season ticket holders who are not Rebel Athletic Fund members
(Join RAF for as low as $25, individuals in Group #2 jump to Group #1)
Group #3:
– Rebel Athletic Fund members who are not football season ticket holders
(By becoming 2019 football season ticket holders, individuals will jump to Group #1)
“Our goal for the Las Vegas Stadium transition is to be as transparent and simple as possible,” said Reed-Francois. “We want to galvanize our Las Vegas community as we ask for support in 2019, 2020 and beyond.”
The price per game comparison is based on the full price of a 2019 season ticket and availability in sections is subject to the seat selection process. Current VIP club and suite holders are recommended to contact Blair DeBord, senior director of Development and Administration with the Rebel Athletic Fund, at (702) 895-1237 for more information regarding the Faithful Fan Pricing structure in those premium areas.
