SAN MARCOS, Texas - Texas State Athletics has announced that they will be making the push to digital ticketing a priority for all fans, beginning with the 2020 football season. 
 
This move will apply to all ticketed sports at Texas State, which are football, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, baseball, and softball.  In the current landscape surrounding COVID-19, digital ticketing will improve ticket operations and help enhance health and safety measures at venues on the university campus.
 
Digital ticketing has been offered for several seasons and utilized by an increasing number of patrons in previous seasons at Texas State.  One of the many benefits of digital ticketing amid COVID-19 precautions is the contactless feature and eliminating touchpoints between guests and gameday staff.  In addition, digital ticketing also reduces issues related to paper tickets, shipping delays, and the continuous search and confirmation of shipping addresses. 
 
As a part of this transition, season ticket holders will no longer have the option to receive a printed ticket booklet.  Instead, all single-game, mini-plans, and season tickets will be delivered to fans via digital delivery.  Tickets will be e-mailed to fans to claim or access via their account by clicking here. Bobcat fans will be able to and are strongly encouraged to download and store their tickets to their Apple Wallet or Google Pay accounts.  On gameday, Texas State Athletics staff will scan the tickets directly from guests' cell phones as they enter Bobcat Stadium or Strahan Arena at the University Events Center (UEC). There is no need to print them out.
 
As was the case with paper and print at home tickets in the past, digital ticketing provides a convenient way to transfer tickets to friends and family.  Ticket transfers can be done in the 'Manage My Account' feature at txst.com/tickets.  More information and step by step guides will come when tickets are digitally delivered closer to the start of fall competition.  Texas State football and volleyball loyal season ticket holders will receive their digital tickets on their accounts in mid-August.
 
Texas State Athletics has also announced that all seats will be reserved at Bobcat Stadium for home football games to help with social distancing mandates.  This shift eliminates general admission ('open') seating that was available in the upper level.
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION COMING SOON
This release outlines a couple of the ticketing changes that Texas State Athletics is implementing to help combat the spread of the COVID-19 Virus and create safe environments for guests in attendance and student-athletes on the field or court.  More changes and details about this ongoing and everchanging situation will be released once finalized and approved by state and local government and medical officials.
