No price increase for football tickets; NSD press conference set

Season tickets for the upcoming Vanderbilt football home schedule, which features four Southeastern Conference opponents and two teams from the Nashville area, will cost the same as a year ago, Vanderbilt Athletics officials announced today.

Starting Monday, the Athletic Ticket Office began accepting both renewals from 2015 season ticket holders and first-time buyers of Commodore season tickets.

The Commodores’ impressive home schedule features Southeastern Conference games against South Carolina, Sept. 1; Florida, Oct. 1; Ole Miss, Nov. 19; and Tennessee, Nov. 26. Vanderbilt's non-conference home opponents are both from the Nashville area: Middle Tennessee on Sept. 10 and Tennessee State on Oct. 16.

Season ticket packages for the schedule start at $141 (including fees) for reserved seats in the south end-zone. Sideline seats are $256, with an annual donation to the National Commodore Club required for many premium sideline locations.
