FOOTBALL
Single-game tickets go on sale this week
Single game football tickets for the upcoming season go on sale Monday. Tickets can be purchased at the PSU ticket office located at Southwest Fifth and Hall, at any TicketMaster outlet, or by calling 1-888-VIK-TIKS.
This is the first opportunity for Viking fans who do not purchase season tickets to get tickets for any football games. PSU has six home games this year and is returning to the newly-renovated PGE Park.
Single game tickets are $12.50 for adults, $10.25 for juniors, seniors and PSU faculty and staff. Prices for the Vanport Football Classic are $24.50 for adults and $15.75 for juniors and seniors.
The tickets also serve as a free pass on Tri-Met and the MAX line leading to PGE Park on the day of games. Fans are encouraged to take public transportation as parking is extremely limited around the venue.
