The AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl has revised several of its ticket
packages this year. The “Johnny’s Catfish and Seafood Family FUN Pack”
and the Touchdown Club offer fans a chance to save money for their
group, or family outing to the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl.
The “Johnny’s Catfish and Seafood Family Fun Pack” includes four south
end zone tickets, four hot dogs, four soft drinks, and a souvenir 35th
Anniversary hat for $175. The ticket package also includes a “Johnny’s
Catfish Family Pack,” which is a $20 value included in the price. This
saves fans more than $40 off of the regular price.
The Touchdown Club is a ticket package specially designed for larger
groups. This package includes 10 south end zone tickets, 10 hot dogs,
10 soft drinks, 10 souvenir game program vouchers which can be redeemed
at the game, one sILVER lot parking pass (while supplies last), and a
souvenir 35th Anniversary hat all for JUST $475. This package saves fans $60
with the parking pass. Hot dogs and soft drinks can be redeemed at the
stadium on game day with vouchers provided.
The “Fall Events Pack” is offered from July 1 to Oct.1 and includes
two sideline seats, State Fair of Louisiana “Pay-One-Price” passes, two
Red River Revel “Reveler” passes, two tickets to the “Big Game Show”

several game show activities. Food will be provided at the event and is
included with each ticket.
Fans can purchase this special ticket package online
(www.independencebowl.org), in person at the Bowl Office, or over the
phone. This ticket package gives fans the opportunity to purchase
sideline seats earlier in the year before those seats are sold out. This
package includes two sideline seats per order. The “Fall Events Pack”
can only be purchased through the Bowl Office.
The Independence Bowl also offers a wonderful ticket donation program, the Kid’s Corner Youth Ticket Initiative. The Kid’s Corner Youth Ticket Initiative allows businesses and
individuals the opportunity to donate 25 or more tickets to an area
non-profit organization of their choice, such as the YMCA, Volunteers
of America, or Boys and Girls Club. This program is also a great way
for youth groups to sit together at the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl
in a fun and safe environment.
The AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl will begin partnerships with two
new conferences this year, as teams from the ACC and Mountain West
Conference will meet in December at Independence Stadium. The agreement
with the two conferences runs through 2013. AdvoCare also extended its
title sponsorship of the Independence Bowl for 2010.
Bowl officials also announced in January that the bowl has extended its
partnership with its national radio partner, Sports USA, through 2013.
The Independence Bowl has partnered with Sports USA since 2005, which
marked the 30th anniversary of the game.
