SMU Tailgate Package

Fry Guy · July 21, 2015

Just wondering if anyone on this message board can provide additional details regarding the SMU Tailgate Event that is currently being promoted by the Mean Green Online Ticket Office. The description from the website reads:

$95 Tickets & Tailgate Package, 2 Endzone Tickets, 2 Tailgate Tickets, Spiriki Mean Green Club Membership

$135 Tickets & Tailgate Package, 2 Sideline Tickets, 2 Tailgate Tickets, Spiriki Mean Green Club Membership

I'm trying to find out which sections these tickets are being culled from, and whether or not the Mean Green Club will be hosting the tailgate again this year. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm honestly surprised we haven't received any emails on this.

Seems like a pretty good idea. Looks like it may be targeted to non MGC members in the DFDub. Hopefully, that will add a couple of thousand unsuspecting alumni. They should promote free GMG.com membership as well!

I'm not.

looks to be geared towards non-MGC members since this deal comes with a MGC membership at the bottom level.

I would hope that those of us who are already MGC members would have a separate deal coming down sometime.

The tailgate is being hosted jointly by athletics and the UNT Alumni Association. I just heard today that final arrangements are still being made.

You may but tickets to both the game and the tailgate apart from the packages listed. I did just that as I am already a Mean Green Club member. I believe my tailgate ticket was $25. There is a pre-sale price and an "at the door price". The at the door price will be higher. I recommend you contact the UNT ticket office and purchase your game tickets and tailgate tickets in advance. Saves you some cash that way.

This is a good idea. Glad they are doing this.

I remember SMU game tickets being listed in the season ticket package. I can't recall if the tailgate was mentioned as well. Does anyone recall this? I would have paid for both at the time if it was listed like that.

I do not remember this. Would be nice if it were true.

SMU tickets were included on the season ticket order form. They were $35 each, I believe.

Hmmm,. I assume this means that there is no room in the SMU tailgating area for individual NT fans to set up their stuff. Keep the riff raff sequestered under their own tent.....to be around their own kind........not surprising... :mellow:

addendum: My wife wants to know if the SMU officials are requiring our officials to set up a gucci brand tent.

Mark, you're great, but it's still sad and telling that we're just now getting details from you and not via official channels.

oldguystudent · July 22, 2015

I renewed my season tickets online. I recall nothing about SMU tickets. I just had a single line "Amount due"

MeanGreenTexan · July 22, 2015

I renewed back in January/February sometime, and there was no mention of SMU tickets being included... maybe I was too early?

Can someone provide a link to this promotion on the Mean Green Ticket Website? I must be blind, I'm not seeing anything.

oldguystudent · July 22, 2015

Only thing I can find is in the single tickets section of meangreensports.com, which sends you to SMU's ticketmaster.

Eh, I'm not worried. I'll get it figured out. After all, I've got dozens of priority points. Dozens, I say!

4MYMGE · July 22, 2015

I want to tailgate at Apogee before the SMU game...then return to celebrate after the game!

UNTFan23 · July 22, 2015

I don't have the invoice but in the letter it states I can order SMU tickets in conjunction with my season tickets.

I'm probably over reacting. I'm sure we'll get a very detailed letter, from the UNT Athletic Department, on SMU Game Ticket Options, Packages and Promotions on Monday, September 14, 2015.

oldguystudent · July 22, 2015

I found the package link.

I called the North Texas Ticket Office today, and they confirmed that what Mark said earlier was absolutely correct. You can buy tickets to the game and/or tailgate event directly from them without the need to purchase any special promotional package. These tickets can be bought either together or separately. Current Mean Green Club members will need to pay $20 and $35, for admission to the tailgate and game, respectively. Non-Mean Green Club members will be required to pay an additional $10 for admission to the tailgate event.

That's certainly a better deal than the $95 package on the ticket site. Thanks for the info. Did they indicate what the tailgate entails?

I don't know for sure, but I think that food and drink will be provided. At least, I believe that was the case last year in Austin. I honestly don't know for certain.

That $95 package also includes a Mean Green Club membership. While I'd love to see them promoting it more heavily (e.g. not finding out about it first on GMG) I commend them for trying to push the MGC membership along with the event.
