Single-game tickets for the 2008 Texas A&M baseball season are now on sale through the Athletic Ticket Office.
Tickets are $11 for reserved seats and $7 for general admission, with the exception of games against Rice (April 15), Baylor (April 18) and Texas (May 19 & 20). Prices for those games are $15 reserved and $7 general admission. All tickets are available online at aggieathletics.com, by phone at 1-888-99-AGGIE or in person at the Athletic Ticket Center in the north end of Kyle Field.
Texas A&M will play 39 games at Olsen Field this spring, including a 20-game homestand to open the season. Opening Day is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 22, when the Aggies begin a four-game series with Northern Colorado.
This year's Domino's Pizza Aggie Baseball Classic takes place Feb. 29-March 2 and will feature a strong field that includes Ohio State, which is making a return trip to College Station after last year's NCAA Regional, along with Louisiana Tech and '07 national top-8 seed Arkansas.
Other teams making early trips to Olsen are McNeese State (Feb. 26 & 27), Nicholls State (March 4 & 5), Centenary (March 11 & 12) and Big East Tournament Champion Rutgers (March 7-9). Big 12 play opens on Friday, March 14 when Texas Tech comes to Olsen Field.
In league action A&M will host Kansas State (April 4-6), Oklahoma (April 11-13) and Missouri (April 25-27), while playing the traditional split-series with Baylor and Texas.
Texas A&M has drawn nearly 1.5 million fans through the gates of Olsen Field over the last nine seasons, ranking fifth nationally. The Aggies are one of just four programs to draw over 135,000 fans in each of the last nine seasons.
A&M returns 19 letterwinners, six position starters and two starting pitchers from a 2007 squad that went 48-19 and claimed the Big 12 Championship in Oklahoma City and the NCAA College Station Regional crown.
