UAPB announces 2019 ticket prices

The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff has lowered season-ticket prices for 2019.

The school announced Wednesday that most seating sections at Simmons Bank Field have experienced trimmed pricing.

“Our fans, alumni and supporters have always, and continue to be, tremendously impactful to Golden Lion football and Golden Lion athletics,” UAPB Athletic Director Melvin Hines said in a statement. “As we continue to grow the program into a SWAC contender, it was very important to us to create fan- and family-friendly ticket pricing. We want to make Simmons Bank Field the toughest road venue in the conference, and we believe our new ticket prices give us the ability to sell out every game.”

A general admission season ticket can be purchased for $60, a benchback season ticket for $90 and a chairback season ticket on the home side for $120.

There have also been two key additions to UAPB’s season -ticket offering.

The university announced that first responders and military, both active and retired, will receive 30 percent off season-ticket purchases for up to four tickets.

“Our city and our state have endured a lot in 2019,” Hines said. “We can’t say enough to thank the first responders who continue to answer the call when assistance is needed. We appreciate them and all of our military personnel for everything they’ve done and will continue to do in our community.”

UAPB also announced a new family pack, which includes every home game except homecoming. For $200, a family of four can see five Golden Lions’ games in the end zone, with four hot dogs, four drinks and two boxes of popcorn included at every game.

A single game ticket can be purchased for as little as $20, but can run up to $45 depending on the type of seat and date of purchase leading up to the home game.

UAPB’s 2019 season kicks off Aug. 31 at TCU in Fort Worth. The Golden Lions’ home opener is set for Sept. 14 against Langston.
