General admission tickets for this year’s A-Day game will be $10 and can be purchased online through Auburn athletics’ official site. All tickets will be delivered digitally for download on smartphones.

The Tigers’ spring game this year will be the program’s first under Freeze, who was hired in late November to help resuscitate an Auburn program that endured back-to-back losing seasons under Bryan Harsin in 2021 and 2022. Harsin was fired on Halloween amid a 3-5 start to the year and a winless October that dropped the program to just 9-12 under his guidance.

Freeze was hired at the end of the regular season to a six-year deal worth $6.5 million annually, as new athletics director John Cohen hired him away from Liberty, where he spent the last four seasons and went 34-15 while winning at least eight games each year.

After a whirlwind offseason that included a surge up the recruiting rankings thanks to a strong push during the first transfer window, Freeze and the Tigers opened spring practice Feb. 27 and held three practices that week before taking off last week for spring break. Auburn returns to the field this week as its 15-practice spring schedule ramps up ahead of next month’s A-Day game.
