HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The 2023 single-game football ticket pre-sale kicks off on Friday through Marshall athletics’ ticket office.

 Online sales for the exclusive event for Big Green members and Season Ticket holders starts at 8 a.m. while phone sales made through the ticket office begin at 9 a.m.

 There is plenty of incentive for those interested in single-game football tickets to join the Big Green today.

 The best way to guarantee your seat for the highly-anticipated home game against Virginia Tech is to purchase a season ticket, mini plan, or join the Big Green to be a part of the pre-sale.

 All participants in Friday’s event receive $5 off each ticket purchased – effectively, the cost of one month’s membership to join the Big Green ($60 annually).

 To put it in bigger perspective, if a family of four wants goes to one game, the buyer of the tickets receives $20 off those four tickets ($5 discount per ticket x 4 tickets). That is essentially a 33 percent discount off your first year’s membership to Big Green, in addition to the many perks that being a member involves.

 Marshall’s 2023 home schedule features several exciting games: a Sept. 23 contest with ACC foe Virginia Tech, the Sept. 30 Homecoming matchup against Old Dominion, a prime-time Oct. 19 (Thursday) battle against SBC East preseason favorite James Madison and the impactful tribute game on Nov. 11 against Georgia Southern.

Other home games include the season-opener on Sept. 2 against Albany and a key crossover game in SBC action to end the season on Nov. 25 against Arkansas State.

 Marshall football is coming off a 9-4 season in which the team won its final five games of the 2022 season – one of only nine teams in FBS to end 2022 on a five-game winning streak.

 The team boasts of six preseason All-Sun Belt selections – four first-team selections in center Logan Osburn, defensive end Owen Porter, linebacker Eli Neal and defensive back Micah Abraham, as well as two second-team selections in running back Rasheen Ali – a 2021 freshman All-American – and offensive lineman Ethan Driskell.

 Following Friday’s single-game pre-sale event for Big Green members, single-game tickets will go on sale to the general public on Aug. 3 through Marshall’s ticket office.

 As a reminder, 2023 Season Ticket packages are also on sale with the entire six-game home slate ranging from $99 to $325 with options that include the Young Grad package and the Family Pack.

 Mini-plans for home games are also available for purchase while Big Green members can now also purchase away game tickets.
