BLACKSBURG, Va. – The countdown to Virginia Tech's Sept. 5 home opener against VMI is on, and tickets are going fast. With fewer than 1,000 seats remaining, fans won’t want to miss a night unlike any other in program history.
Saturday, Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m. marks the debut of the James Franklin era, the first game featuring Lane Stadium's upgraded videoboard, audio system and LED lighting, and the opening chapter of a season that has already generated some of the strongest ticket demand in recent years.
The numbers tell the story:
- Hokies vs. Pitt — sold out
- Premium seating — sold out for the season
- Fan Four Packs — sold out for five of six home games
- Upper South End Zone — sold out for three of six home games
- Student season tickets — sold out
- Ticket Tuesday offers — sold out
VMI is the next game to watch, and it's on pace to join the list. With momentum building and inventory shrinking every day, Hokie Nation is encouraged to secure their seats before the home opener sells out.
