Texas A&M University students serve as members of the 12th Man and stand ready to support their team at the games, yell practice, and in the ticket pull lines. Texas A&M has a Temporary Tent or Canopy Installation on Campus Rule and to preserve the tradition of ticket pull and for the safety of our students, the following policy will be implemented for the purpose of ticket pull.
Tent Policy for Ticket Pull
- Beginning with the second home game of the season against McNeese State, ticket pull lines, ticket pull lines may not form before 6 a.m. on the Sunday prior to the ticket pull for that week. If ticket pull is set to begin on Monday of that week, no line may form prior to 6 a.m. the immediate Sunday before the ticket pull.
