So, what do those tickets look like for the best-of-three series, which begins Friday at 5 p.m.? Fans seeking seats in the stands behind the infield will have to pay at least $119 per ticket, plus fees, based on a quick glance at Seat Geek Tuesday afternoon. The outfield bleachers start around $50, but they don’t come with the sunscreen needed on a day with temperatures projected to reach the high 90s.

Prices for Saturday and possibly Sunday were a smidgeon lower.
While Texas (50-7) rolled to three wins in three games at the Austin Regional by a cumulative score of 26-2, the Aggies (43-13) were equally impressive in College Station while reaching the Super Regionals for the first time since 2018. They beat Albany 6-2 and then shut out second-seeded Texas State in back-to-back games, 1-0 and 8-0.
The rivals did face off twice last season in Austin during the regional round of the NCAA Tournament, with Texas winning 11-5 and 2-1 to advance. But prior to those meetings, the Longhorns and Texas A&M had met just four times since the Aggies left the Big 12 for the SEC.
The winner of the series will qualify for the Women’s College World Series, which starts May 30 in in Oklahoma City.
