Fans can secure tickets to the Opening Night at Truist Field on Sept. 3 and the Deacons second contest of the season on Sept. 11 by purchasing tickets at GoDeacs.com/Tickets.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Saturday's inside Truist Field are just around the corner. The Best Fan Experience in North Carolina awaits Deacon Nation along with tailgating, the new DEACTOWN Fan Zone and another fun and exciting year of ACC and Wake Forest football.
The opportunity is now available to secure seats for the first Saturday game of the season at Truist Field through a 4-for-$49 ticket package for a limited time. This special game at Truist Field will prominently feature a salute to our military and first responders.
"Wake Forest's matchup with Norfolk State marks the 20th anniversary of a day we will never forget; a day that changed our country forever," director of athletics John Currie said. "Athletics plans to partner again with the "No Fear" Battalion (Wake Forest ROTC) to walk 2977 steps, run 2977 meters, or climb 2977 steps in remembrance of those we lost on Sept. 11, 2001. We appreciate the "No Fear Battalion" for leading this unique and memorable tribute for the Winston-Salem community so that the heroes of 9/11 are never forgotten."
Wake Forest plans to pay tribute to first responders and the men and women of our armed forces who dedicate their lives to protect our country and enable us to enjoy freedoms and special traditions, through a special pre-game flyover and a number of in-game recognitions.
With season ticket sales continuing to outpace previous year totals, multiple sellouts are expected this fall and fans are encouraged to secure their seats at Truist Field now. Seasons tickets remain available for purchase beginning at $120 per game, while supplies last.
The exclusive 4-for-$49 package, which provides four east sideline tickets and a parking pass, is available for a limited time for both Opening Night at Truist Field presented by Lowes Foods, as well as the Sept. 11 contest versus Norfolk State. The price will increase on June 15.
The quickest and most efficient way to order tickets is to visit GoDeacs.com/Tickets and purchase online or call the Wake Forest Ticket Office at 336-758-3322 ext. 1. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The Ticket Purchase Assurance Program (TPA) is back in 2021 with added flexibility as another element of Wake Forest Athletics commitment to providing the Best Fan Experience in North Carolina.
