EDITOR'S NOTE: In today's issue of The Daily, it was incorrectly reported that OU-Texas tickets go on sale Tuesday. Tickets for the Red River Rivalry do not go on sale until Aug. 31, but tickets to all other OU football away games are available Tuesday morning.

Student tickets for OU’s annual matchup with Texas at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas go on sale at 7 a.m. Aug. 31 on SoonerSports.com.

The right to attend the game and the related fanfare of the Texas State Fair is highly prized and difficult to acquire. Students seeking tickets have traditionally had to suffer an early morning rise, overloaded servers and — in the saddest cases — “sold out” messages.

Because of how student season tickets are set up, freshmen are allowed to buy tickets to OU-Texas if the upperclassmen don’t snatch them all up. Last year’s supply of 4,200 tickets sold out in 30 minutes, two-and-a-half hours faster than 4,000 sold in 2008.

This season’s game is Oct. 2 at 2:30 p.m.
