The University Programming Board will be selling Texas Rangers tickets for $10 and providing a shuttle for transportation on Saturday April 12, leaving from the bookstore entrance of the Clark Student Center at 2:30 p.m. to the Texas Rangers game against the Houston Astros.

But with a ticket price of only $10, don’t expect to be in nose-bleeds. The event, chose by the UPB’s Late Night/Weekend chair Erin Hagy actually has pretty good seats, according to Mario Ramirez, Student Development and Orientation Activities coordinator.

“We got lower reserved seats,” Ramirez said. “They are costing us a little more, but we are selling them to students for $10, which includes a ticket and bus ride.”

Ramirez said they have 22 tickets that will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis beginning April 3.

Because the Rangers just had their season opener Monday, March 31 against the Philadelphia Phillies, a game they lost 14 to 10, Ramirez said he expects the 22 tickets to go fast.

“I think it would be a fun trip,” said Lindsey Waltson, a sophomore in social work. “Especially with the weather starting to get nicer.”

Matt Reaves, a sophomore in criminal justice and avid Rangers fan said he is also excited about the cheap opportunity.

“I’ve been to multiple Rangers games and love it,” said Reaves. “Plus with the season just opening I bet it will be a good game.”
