San Marcos-Santa Barbara alumni game expected to sell out

Arguably the biggest “The Big Game” of them all is finally on the doorstep, set to kickoff in 24 hours. Tickets for the highly anticipated San Marcos-Santa Barbara High Alumni Football game are still available, but expected to sell out by Saturday’s 3 p.m. kickoff.

Both school offices are already closed for the holiday weekend, meaning the only place to purchase tickets is at the door on Saturday. The ticket booth at Peabody Stadium, which has a capacity of around 6,000 people, opens at 1 p.m.

Roughly 4,000 tickets have already been sold.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for current students.

Months of preparation for the former Royals and Dons is at an end as the two football teams are ready to come to a head for a third time. The last alumni game between the long-time rivals was in 1985.
