There is a football festival this week in Arlington.

The University Interscholastic League football state championships begin Wednesday and continue through Saturday night at AT&T Stadium.

Tickets are available to the public for $20. Tickets for those affiliated with participating schools are $15, but you must have a checkout code from that school after the team qualifies.

All tickets will be digital and must be available on mobile devices. They can be purchased through Seat Geek. No ticket offices will be open the day of the games.

One ticket covers you for all three games on that particular day, but there is no re-entry. In other words, you cannot leave and come back into the stadium without purchasing a new ticket.

All tickets are general admission, and all spectators aged 1 and up need a ticket.

Paper tickets will NOY be accepted at the gates. You cannot print out your tickets at home and bring them. All tickets must be shown on your mobile device. No ISD passes are accepted for admission.

THSCA and TSMCA cards will be accepted for complementary admission into the gate for the cardholder only. The cardholder should show their card at Entry A for admission. Only the cardholder will get into the venue. Any guests with the cardholder will need to purchase a ticket.

Gates will open one hour before the start of the first game each day.

AT&T Stadium has a clear bag policy.

Parking is available for purchase on event day, and the payment method is credit card only. It is $25 to park a car and $50 for a bus. Lots will open an hour and a half before the first game of the day.
