You are invited to join your student and UM for Family Weekend 2012 on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 12-13.

Family Weekend tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time Tuesday, Aug. 28, on GrizTix.com. 

You will receive the promo code needed to purchase tickets via the Transcripts newsletter on Monday, Aug. 27. Tickets are sold first-come, first-served and can only be purchased online. Only 450 tickets to the football game are available for Family Weekend attendees this year.

Football game tickets will be sold in packages. A package ticket includes a football game ticket in the Family Weekend seating section and a ticket to the pregame omelet bar and continental breakfast. The pregame breakfast will feature spirited Grizzly game-day entertainment and a chance to hear from UM President Royce Engstrom. Individual tickets to the pregame breakfast also will go on sale Tuesday, Aug. 28. Costs for the package tickets will be announced in August.

We invite those not attending the football game to join us in the University Center Theater to watch the Grizzlies on the big screen and enjoy a free nacho bar and prize raffle. Registration for the viewing party and most other Family Weekend events is free and will be available in August.
