The Appalachian State Mountaineers have announced a change in the date for their 2025 football season opener against the Charlotte 49ers. The game, originally set for Thursday, August 28, has been moved to Friday, August 29, at Bank of America Stadium. This adjustment comes as part of broader preparations for the Duke’s Mayo Classic event. While details regarding kickoff time and television coverage are yet to be disclosed, fans can anticipate these announcements in the coming months. The ticketing process will commence with exclusive presales for Yosef Club members and App State students before opening to the general public online in early April. Prices for tickets start at $50 for the general audience and $25 for students.

As the excitement builds for the upcoming match, organizers have outlined a detailed timeline for ticket availability. Yosef Club members who maintain good standing will enjoy priority access starting from February 11. Higher-tier members will have the first opportunity to secure their seats, with allocations based on membership levels. For instance, Circle of Excellence members can purchase up to eight tickets during the initial phase. Following this, other categories of Yosef Club members will have designated windows to buy tickets according to their contribution levels. The highest-level contributors will have the advantage of selecting premium seating options, including club-level tickets that come with enhanced amenities.

Students of App State will also have a special presale window in mid-March, ensuring they can attend the game at a discounted rate. After these exclusive sales periods, tickets will go on sale to the general public in early April. The pricing structure reflects various seating areas within the stadium, ranging from bowl seats starting at $50 to club-level seats priced up to $135. All tickets will be delivered electronically by the Charlotte Sports Foundation, with instructions provided to purchasers prior to receiving their mobile tickets.

Revenue from tickets sold directly through App State’s ticket office until June 1, 2025, will benefit the university's athletic programs. This arrangement underscores the importance of early purchases for supporters eager to contribute to the team. With all these arrangements in place, both fans and organizers are looking forward to what promises to be an exciting start to the football season.
