<font color="#660000">More than 7,000 Mississippi State students made their way to the Bryan Athletic Building Ticket Office or the temporary ticket area in the Student Union Monday to set an all-time, one-day record for football student season tickets sold. By mid-day Thursday, we had sold more than 10,000 student tickets, leaving less than 1,000 available still 10 days prior to kickoff.</font></p>
<font color="#660000">With that turnout, we have now sold 39,495 football season tickets and will likely reach our goal of 40,000-plus for the 2009 season. We literally have less than 1,500 season tickets that we can sell as we enter the final week of pre-season.</font></p>
<font color="#660000">It's not too late to still purchase season tickets for the 2009 campaign. Season tickets may be purchased through our athletic web site -</font> <font color="#660000">www.mstateathletics.com/tickets</font> <font color="#660000">- or by calling the ticket office (1-888-GO-DAWGS).</font></p>
