BOULDER, Colo. — The Colorado Buffaloes have sold out of season tickets for the 2024 football season.
CU Athletics said football season tickets sold out for the second-straight season and the 10th time in CU history.
This is the second time CU has sold out of season tickets before August of an upcoming season. The first time was last year.
The 2024 football season is Colorado's second under head coach Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders and the first in the program's return to the Big 12 Conference.
"Selling out of season tickets for the second year in a row shows how strong our fan base is and the continued impact of and trust in Coach Prime," said CU Athletic Director Rick George. "We are ready for an exciting 2024 season and expect a full house for every game for the second straight season."
Single-game CU football tickets will be available for the public to purchase on Tuesday. Current season ticket holders are currently in an presale window to access single game tickets.
Fans wanting to express interest in season tickets for the 2025 football season can sign up on a wait list.
CU students can purchase Student Sports Passes for the 2024-25 season at 10 a.m. July 10.
CU Athletics said that prior to last season, it had been 27 years since last selling out of season tickets, doing so in a seven-year run from 1990-96. The only other time CU sold out of season tickets was the 1972 season.
For the second-straight year, the season ticket renewal rate finished above 98%, the best two marks in school history.
The Buffaloes open the 2024 football season on Thursday, Aug. 29, against North Dakota State. The game will air on ESPN at 6:30 p.m. from Folsom Field in Boulder.
CU and the Nebraska Cornhuskers will play on NBC during a Week 2 rivalry game. The game will kickoff at 5:30 p.m. MT on Saturday, Sept. 7, on 9NEWS and NBC affiliates across the country.
The college football Week 2 game will be part of NBC's "Big Ten Saturday Night" football showcase, which is returning for a second year, NBC announced.
The Buffs won last year's game against Nebraska 36-14 in Boulder. This year's will be played at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.
Colorado has not played a game on NBC since the 1995 Fiesta Bowl.
This will be the eighth game in CU history on a national broadcast on NBC, with six of the other seven being bowl games, including the 1962, 1977, 1990 and 1991 Orange Bowls and the 1993 and 1995 Fiesta Bowls.
