Country music superstar Chris Stapleton is headlining a free concert exclusively for University of Texas students who are Big Ticket holders on Sept. 10. Rising singer-songwriter Stella Lefty will open the show on the LBJ Lawn from 7 to 10 p.m., and there will also be a performance by the Longhorn Band.
Free tickets to this EA Sports Ultimate Tailgate concert will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to students who have already purchased the Big Ticket. Eligible students will receive an email with additional ticket claim information. Tickets will not be available to the general public and are not transferable.
“The Big Ticket” is an annual sports pass that offers UT Austin students access to all Texas Athletics regular season home events. Students can purchase either a Big Ticket with football access for $270 or a Big Ticket without football access for $110. The pass covers more than 120 home regular season events each year, including football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball and Texas Relays.
All active, full-time UT students are eligible to purchase the Big Ticket using their school email address. The Big Ticket doesn’t guarantee entry into every event. Big Ticket holders with football access must claim a mobile ticket ahead of each home game for entry into the student section with a physical student ID on a first-come, first-served basis. To guarantee football ticket availability with 24-hour early access sales, students had the opportunity to purchase an additional $140 Longhorn Foundation membership. Those memberships are now sold out.
