Complimentary Football Game Tickets

Every member of the TU TIGER Marching Band is given two complimentary admission tickets for every home football game. At the Monday and Wednesday band rehearsal preceding a home football weekend, band members will be able to submit two names for complimentary admission. It is important that tickets are signed up for by the Wednesday rehearsal at the latest. The ticket office must have the information that evening.

On game day, to retrieve these tickets, parents and friends should report to the "Marching Band Will Call" table. Please check back for more details on the location of this table.

Seating Placement for Complimentary Tickets

Band Complimentary ticket seating placement had been a large topic of discussion. There are trade-offs to any of the options. With the band's recent placement on the north side of the stadium, would family/friends prefer to sit across from the band (on the south side/press box side) so the field show and our sound is directed in your direction or would the preference be to sit near/next to the band in the stand and have the field show face away from the section? We are always open to input that we can share with the ticket office. Email suggestions to the TUMB Alumni President, Jackie Blinke at TUMBAlumni@gmail.com

Game Day Parking

If you and your family plan on attending the majority of the Home Football Games, a season parking pass would be your best choice. For $35 ($32 plus a $3 handling fee), you will be able to park in Lot 20 or Lot 21 during all 5 home games. These passes can be purchased through the Towson University Ticket Office by phone or on-line at 410-704-2244 or http://www.towsonutickets.com/sepapa.html. Individual game parking passes are also available for Lot 13 and Lot 14 for $8 per game. If you would prefer to walk, free parking is available on campus in any of the garages.
