With the season home opener of the 21st-ranked Aggie baseball team less than a month away, Feb. 13, Texas A&M already has recorded a sellout: season parking permits have all been sold for the first and third base lots adjacent to Olsen Field (PA 63 North & South). Only permit holders can park in those lots.
The 50 Aggie Alley spaces (PA 103) will be available as in past years. The drawing will be conducted at G. Rollie White Coliseum on Monday, Jan. 26 at 6 p.m. Past holders of those spaces beyond the left-field fence have the opportunity to renew first at $100 for the general public and $50 for students with an all-sports pass. Other interested individuals may pay cash or check or use a VISA or MasterCard to have their name submitted for the blind draw at the same price.
All parking fees collected for season permits go directly to TAMU Transportation Services to cover the cost of parking, traffic direction and enforcement.
For non-reserved parking, Transportation Services will post cashiers at the parking lots of Reed Arena (PA 102) and collect $2 for each baseball date.
Fans with a handicap permit, but without a season parking permit, will be charged $2 to enter the Olsen Field lots and park in the handicap spaces.
Motorcycles without a parking permit will be charged $2 to enter the Olsen Field lots to park in the designated motorcycle parking spaces (PA 63 South).
Fans can still purchase season tickets for Aggie baseball three ways:
- At the athletic ticket office windows in the Zone at the north end of Kyle Field.
- By calling the athletic ticket office at 1-888-99-AGGIE (888-992-4443) or 979-845-2311.
- Or on-line at 12thmanfoundation.com.
Season tickets for the 33 dates (36 games) are $195, a savings of over 25 percent over single game prices. If one adult ticket is purchased, fans may also purchase a youth ticket for $100.
Single game baseball ticket sales begin on Tuesday, Feb. 3. Single game reserved seats are $8 with general admission seating for $6. General admission seating for high school and under costs $4.
The Aggies ranked 14th last season and finished with a 45-19 record. Texas A&M was second in the Big 12 race and finished fourth in the nation last year in total attendance (179,720) and fifth in the NCAA in average attendance (4,878).
