For fans still hoping to attend the game, the last remaining tickets are going fast. As of Tuesday morning, about 600 tickets were available. Seats are $65 and fans interested in purchasing tickets can order online at TexasBoxOffice.com or by calling 512-471-3333 or 800-982-BEVO. Young will be presented with a framed jersey, a tribute video will be played and he and his family will be present on the field for fans to recognize. In addition to the game, fans also have a chance to catch Young at The Vince Young Foundation benefit dinner on Friday (Aug. 29) night in Austin.
