Apparently there will be no onsite alcohol purchase option at the tailgate:

Mean Green Tailgate Update

We’re reaching out with an update about the official UNT Alumni & UNT Athletics Bowl Tailgate at the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl. Due to technical issues with the hosting school’s transaction system, alcohol cannot be purchased at the event. However, we’ve made adjustments to ensure you can still enjoy the tailgate.

If you’d like to upgrade your experience, you can purchase a $20 drink package that includes 3 drink tickets by clicking here. This will be the only option for alcoholic beverages at the event.

Additionally, we’re excited to offer a Revolver Beer Tasting during the tailgate, giving you the chance to enjoy some locally crafted flavors. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available for your enjoyment.

Thank you for your understanding as we adapt to these changes. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Mean Green Scholarship Fund at mgsf@unt.edu. 

We look forward to celebrating with you at the tailgate—Go Mean Green!

Some of the folks I'm going to the game with interpreted this message as there will not be any alcohol at the game. I read it as we are not able to purchase alcohol at the tailgate day of now, and have to purchase drink tickets in advance to drink at the tailgate.  Can anyone confirm?

HouCat, appreciate your input and friendly banter. Your crew (literally your tailgate crew) will outnumber NT fans this year because:

We can't afford bowl game pricing.

We, with a long history of bowl losses, feel our 7-5 opponent doesn't merit playing a 6-6 team.

We don't like the AD because he weakly addressed the NIL situation.

We feel overmatched because our rent-a-QB (and WR, etc) cancelled his lease before the game and all remaining players, well, see the part about losing bowl games.

We basketball.

We tailgate, and $MU won't let us. And if they did, we would tailgate the whole game and not be in the stadium because, well, see the part about losing bowl games.

We wanted to play in New Mexico or Shreveport or the Bahamas or Boston, or not Frisco.

We don't want to play in $MU's house because, well, see the part about losing bowl games and because we never beat the team whose house we will be playing in.

We can't afford to give NIL money so we can't overpay players on one year contracts that will require even more money to stay a second year.

We don't like cold weather, or warm weather, or sunny or rainy weather.

We don't like the uniforms that the players that aren't paid much decide they want to wear.

We aren't willing to risk the chance that the $MU A/V system will be loud and will interrupt the band.

 

Prove me wrong, good guys, or otherwise #FlameAway.

 

HouCat, see you in Dallas. I'll be the one wearing green. And I hope to share a dram of a nice peaty, smoky Scotch with you. Inside and/or outside the stadium.

Brilliant! And spot on!

I read it as “no alcohol sales at the tailgate.  Prepaid tickets only”

The game is different.
