You can buy them through the North Texas Ticket Office for $45.   You have to call. 

[Green Nightmare]

$45? So much for the supply / demand curve.

I won't post whether or not there is a significantly less expensive route, but I will say this: be careful not to stub your toe next time you are at the HUB Club level at Apogee.

Find the cheapest ticket online somewhere else and you'll have your choice of 50k seats.

Well done!

Looks like Rice Athletics has a site like ours as well for ticket prices. You probably could walk up before game and get tickets much cheaper from $11-$50.

This seems the better of the choices, but what do I know?

Never mind "fan to fan" for the moment, looks like $20 for upper deck is the cheapest, and then $30 is the cheapest for the lower level.

I just bought my tix and booked hotel.  I saw the UNT Alumni Association is doing a free tailgate before the game.  Hopefully we can get a good crowd down there.   Rice looks beatable. 

Good hotel deals at the Crowne Plaza River Oaks.  Close to campus.

Please share the details! I'm seriously considering making the trip.

I booked through Expedia.   $72/night (half off regular rate).   I saw the same rate through other booking sites as well for that hotel.  It's less than 2 miles from campus.  I'm staying that Friday and Saturday night.

Rice Stadium is super easy to get tickets at the door.  I forget how much they were 2 years ago but its a huge stadium and nobody from Rice goes to games. Parking used to be free but may be $5 now.  For those who are unfamiliar with Houston, next to the stadium on the west side is Rice village which has bars and restaurants to pre game and post game.  The Houston Alumni chapter is also going to have a tailgate tent with some food and beverages, so you will see us out there in the parking lot.

where can you tailgate for the rice game? does anybody know, which parking lot?

If this team develops as I think they will both Rice & Army look beatable, but we are biased, too.

If we'd only played B.C before SMU then (IMHO) you'd had a 4'th quarter nail-biter of a game and (who knows) maybe even a win. 

GMG!

PS:  First college football game I saw was at Rice Stadium with the Owls hosting Baylor in the early 60's.   Baylor QB Don Trull was flinging  passes to receiver Lawrence "Don't Call Me Larrry" Elkins.

No kidding...$45 seems awfully high for a game that won't see 20k in a 70k stadium...

Think I read they remodeled and it only holds 47k now.

Remodeled, or bought more tarps?

[edcollopy]

at least it's an evening kickoff.  It was pretty toasty there a couple of years ago for the mid-day kick.

Probably could just walk up to the ticket window and they might just tell you to come in

GA tickets are $20 at the gate. I imagine one could find an empty seat or two close to mid field. Rice Stadium is huge.

If the past is guide, UTSA has had larger turn out than Rice in Houston. I dont think finding a very good seat/s empty will be a problem.
