Texas Longhorns Season Tickets 2025: Prices May Shock
Texas Longhorns 2025 tickets: what fans need to know now
Season tickets sold out for the 2025 Texas Longhorns football season, marking the fourth consecutive year that all seats at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium have been claimed. The official announcement came on May 16, 2025, confirming that every home game ticket through the Texas Athletics platform is now unavailable. Fans seeking entry must now turn to the official resale marketplace SeatGeek, wait for the 2026 waitlist to open in December 2026, or explore the Young Alumni Program and Big Ticket student packages still available.
Current Availability Status for 2025
The complete sellout status means no new season ticket packages can be purchased directly from Texas Athletics for the 2025 campaign. This historic demand follows the Longhorns' second consecutive College Football Playoff semifinal appearance, driving excitement to unprecedented levels. The sellout includes all six regular-season home games in Austin plus the Red River Rivalry ticket share at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, which also reached capacity.
However, limited inventory remains through alternative channels. The Young Alumni Program holds a small number of seats reserved for recent graduates, while Big Ticket student tickets are still on sale for returning UT students who enroll in summer 2025. Single-game tickets for non-conference home games against San Jose State, UTEP, and Sam Houston may become available to the general public in August, though SEC home games will likely have no public single-game inventory.
2025 Home Game Schedule and Key Dates
The Longhorns open their home season on September 6, 2025, against San Jose State at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, followed by UTEP on September 13 and Sam Houston on September 20. The SEC home schedule features Vanderbilt on November 1, Arkansas on November 22, and the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown against Texas A&M on November 28.
- September 6, 2025: San Jose State (Home Opener)
- September 13, 2025: UTEP
- September 20, 2025: Sam Houston
- November 1, 2025: Vanderbilt (SEC)
- November 22, 2025: Arkansas (SEC)
- November 28, 2025: Texas A&M (Lone Star Showdown)
The neutral-site Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma occurs at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, with ticket share completely sold out through Texas Athletics. Away games include five road contests, with away game tickets available only to current season ticket holders who are Longhorn Foundation members at designated levels.
Pricing Structure and Donation Requirements
Season ticket prices increased by $13 per game in 2025 to keep up with rising operational costs, according to UT Austin's athletic director. Base season ticket packages start around $1,500, with the home opener against San Jose State offering resale tickets in the $87-$100 range on secondary markets. The Ohio State season opener (away/neutral) saw tickets start at approximately $300 each, selling rapidly.

UT faculty and staff receive a 20 percent discount on both season ticket costs and per-seat contributions, excluding premium areas.
How to Join the 2026 Waitlist
Fans unable to secure 2025 tickets should fill out the ticket interest form to join the 2026 Texas Football new season ticket waitlist, which opens in December 2026. All fans on the 2025 waitlist who couldn't purchase tickets were automatically rolled over to the 2026 waitlist. The 2026 waitlist deadline was March 5, 2026, and is now closed.
- Step 1: Join the Texas Football waitlist via the official athletics website
- Step 2: Become a Longhorn Foundation donor with at least a $50 annual gift
- Step 3: Donate before the Loyalty Point lock date (typically in March)
- Step 4: Receive your timeslot for online seat and parking selection in spring
- Step 5: Pay season ticket costs and seat gifts at time of selection
No ticket pre-payment is required to join the waitlist, but active donor status by the deadline is mandatory for selection opportunities. Current season ticket holders renew during February-March each year, with individual timeslots assigned based on Loyalty Points ranking.
Parking and Premium Benefits
Season ticket holders who are Longhorn Foundation members at the Hero level ($250+) through combined football seat gifts and Longhorn Excellence gifts can purchase season parking permits. Parking permits are purchased during the online seat and parking selection process starting in April.
Parking permit limits vary by donation level: $250-$9,999 gets 1 permit, $10,000-$24,999 gets 2 permits, and $25,000+ receives 3 permits. Icon level members ($500+) gain access to donor ticket pre-sales and can request Red River Rivalry tickets in Dallas. Away game tickets are also available to season ticket holders at designated Foundation membership levels, with priority based on total annual fund gift.

Secondary Market and Resale Options
Fans should visit SeatGeek, the official fan-to-fan marketplace of Texas Athletics, for verified resale tickets to Longhorn football games. The cheapest Ticket found on SeatGeek for the Texas A&M game was $426, while the most expensive reached nearly $6,000. StubHub also carries Longhorns tickets, with season tickets priced just above $1,500 each.
The resale market premium reflects intense demand, with prices significantly higher than face value for high-profile matchups. Single-game tickets for non-conference games, if available, go on sale to the general public in August, but no single-game tickets are expected for SEC home games.
The unprecedented demand for Texas Longhorns football reflects the program's sustained excellence under head coach Steve Sarkisian, with the team's College Football Playoff appearances driving record-breaking attendance. Fans who missed 2025 should act quickly when the 2026 waitlist opens, as the fourth consecutive sellout demonstrates no sign of demand cooling.
