Atlanta, GA - The Georgia Tech Athletic Association advises fans to be cautious when considering the purchase of football tickets through non-Georgia Tech sources.

Tech officials have received reports of fraudulent ticket offerings and scams, including the sale/distribution of wristbands for entry into Bobby Dodd Stadium. These wristbands are not valid and a game ticket is required for admission.

Wristbands of any kind are not good for admission, and standing-room only tickets do not exist.

There have been reports of these scams for at least two Georgia Tech home football games - Saturday's game against Virginia Tech and the Nov. 28 game against Georgia.

The Georgia Tech Ticket Office cannot guarantee the validity of tickets purchased through any entity other than the Georgia Tech Ticket Office, Virginia Tech Athletics Ticket Office or other authorized ticket representative. If you have any questions, please contact the Georgia Tech Ticket Office at 404....

BLACKSBURG, Va. - Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer announced Wednesday that a new goal has been set for the Virginia Tech football team’s fundraising efforts in honor of Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich.

“There has been such an overwhelming response from our fans and the community that we want to raise our goal to $9,400,” Beamer said. “This outpouring of generosity truly shows what the Hokie Nation is all about and I’m thankful for that.”

The original goal of the initiative was set at $5,094, but over $7,000 has already been raised through the sale of Team United wristbands for $1 each. Members of the Virginia Tech football scout team sold the wristbands during last Saturday’s game with the University of Miami. The wristbands continue to be available at the University Bookstore, Volume II and at the Virginia Tech football offices and will be sold through Oct. 9. Individuals or groups wishing to purchase a minimum of 100 wristbands can do so by e-mailing the Virginia Tech Football Office at lepperly@vt.edu. Checks are to be made out to Uplifting Athletes and no credit card orders will be taken.
