ECU Director of Athletics Jon Gilbert announced that 15,205 football season tickets have been sold for the 2025 season, exceeding last year’s total and signaling strong fan support for Pirate Football.

All premium seating in TowneBank Tower – including all 27 suites, 22 loge boxes, and the 550-seat Trade Club sold out for the fourth straight year.

The Pirates kick off the season on Thursday against NC State in Raleigh, before returning home to host Campbell at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Saturday, September 6 at 6 p.m. Season tickets for all six home games remain available starting as low as $115. Each season ticket holder will receive a commemorative ECU coin as a special gift. Single-game tickets and away game tickets are also on sale, with ECU Athletics already selling out its allotment for the NC State and Coastal Carolina road games.
