I just booked our hotel for move-in day and there were “slim pickens!” So I went ahead and booked for Family Weekend and now am wondering if anyone knows when Football tickets go on sale for that weekend? Do they sell out? And are they really $90 each? Any other helpful Family Weekend hints would be greatly appreciated!
My son is a senior, and we went to family weekend twice. Football tickets were easy to come by(although I do not remember the price) but they are now playing in a more competitive conference. As long as you get tickets relatively early on you will be fine. I believe your son/daughter can get their own ticket as a student. There are other events that sold out quickly. The student concert (Collage?) sold out immediately. Check out last year’s schedule to get an idea of what is offered. The meet and greet with professors was interesting. I would advise making a reservation at a restaurant–one that could be canceled if plans change. When our son was a freshman we went thinking we were going to spend the whole weekend with him, but we barely saw him, he was so busy with his new friends! Needless to say the following year our expectations of how much we would see him had changed, and we ended up seeing more of him.
