Hokie ClubBLACKSBURG – Thanks to the tremendous support from the student body, Virginia Tech football student season tickets have sold out for the 10th-consecutive season. This year marks the earliest that student season tickets have sold out since 2013.
Students who were able to secure their seats for the season will be treated to one of the best home schedules in the history of Lane Stadium.
"Virginia Tech students create an amazing homefield advantage for us at Lane Stadium with their noise and passion for the game," head coach Justin Fuente said. "They show up early and stay with us to the end, bringing an energy and enthusiasm that our team and the entire crowd embraces. On behalf of our staff and our entire squad, we thank our students for their tremendous support. We can't wait to see you at Lane Stadium this fall!"
The next available ticket option for students who did not purchase season tickets will be the single-game ticket lottery. Lottery dates will be released in August and will be posted to the student ticketing page on HokieSports.com. Students looking for ticket updates and reminders are encouraged to sign up for student text alerts by texting "HOKIES" to 71855.
Season tickets for the general public are currently on sale and will be available with locations beginning Monday, July 9. The first ever meeting in Lane Stadium between the Hokies and Notre Dame on Oct. 6 and a clash with defending Coastal Division champions Miami on Nov. 17 highlight the home slate. Thursday night football will also return to its rightful home in Blacksburg on Oct. 25 when the Hokies take on Georgia Tech. Season tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by clicking here.
Fuente enters his third season as the head coach at Virginia Tech after leading the Hokies to their second consecutive season with nine-plus victories. The 2016 ACC Coach of the Year, Fuente is one of only six FBS head coaches whose teams have eclipsed nine or more wins over the past four seasons, joining Nick Saban (Alabama), Bryan Harsin (Boise State), Dabo Swinney (Clemson), Urban Meyer (Ohio State) and Mark Richt (Miami). Fuente's 19 wins in his first two seasons in Blacksburg are a program record.
The Hokies enter the 2018 season seeking to extend a streak of 25 straight bowl appearances – the longest active streak recognized by the NCAA. The Hokies finished the 2017 season ranked No. 24 in The Associated Press Top 25, marking the first time since 2010 and 2011 that Tech has finished in the final AP poll in back-to-back seasons. The Hokies were also ranked in the final USA Today Coaches Poll, checking in at No. 25.
