All individuals hoping to attend the October 11 football game between the Marion Patriots and the West Memphis Blue Devils will need to purchase their tickets in advance, the Marion School District announced today.
There will be no ticket sales at the gate. For Marion fans, tickets can be purchased at Marion High School, Marion Junior High School, or at the district’s Central Office at 200 Manor Street. West Memphis fans can purchase tickets at the West Memphis School District central office.
Ticket cost for the Marion-West Memphis game will be $10 each. Tickets will be available while supplies last.
The Marion-West Memphis game will feature the return of the “Hometown Showdown” tailgating event, which will run from 4:30-6:45, before the game. The event will include vendors from across the area, as well as food and other events.
Everyone who enters the "tailgating area" must have a game ticket, other appropriate admission to the game, or a "tailgating area" pass from the Hometown Showdown Group. The following passes will also be accepted: Patriot pass, AAA pass, Marion student-athlete pass, Marion student pass, Marion employee IDs, and Red Level Patriot Partner passes.
As with previous games, preschool children and students in grades K-6 will not be allowed to attend games without adult supervision. Students in grades 7-12 must have a school ID to attend games, in addition to their game ticket/pass. Students without an ID will be denied entry into the game.
Any attendee leaving the stadium gates will not be allowed re-entry.
For those unable to attend the game in person, a livestream broadcast of the game will be available at marionpatriots.com and via the Marion Patriots Activities Network YouTube channel.
